Dreams are made of chocolate huts With burgundy windows, cherry **** doors Sweet icing on cream layered roofs Almond -walnut -caramel floors Dreams are made of iris and jasmine  Jacarandas lined in purple rows Tree blossoms in clustered cobs Petals that dance like a ballerina's toes Dreams are made of fern green forests Oakwood trees  that cast a spell  A  gossamer web of magic and charm The music of clinking coins in a wishing well Dreams are made of cerulean skies Contrails of clouds in ivory snow Violet mystic misty mountains A  tangerine orb riding a rainbow Dreams are made of romance laced nights A golden peach vanilla moon Venus lighting, igniting,love's fire The silhouette  of love in rain soaked June Dreams are made of turquoise seas Calm waters stroked by gentle waves Or enticed by the charm of a midsummer night Waters that heavenly Cynthia craves Dreams are made of silk and satin Dappled with reds, greens and blues But the dreams that I love to dream the most Are all the dreams made of you

What are dreams made of?
Flashing numbers; this isn't a binary sequence but the universe has got me wondering. 01001011010101011 combinations of 2 create infinitesimally complicated creatures, craters, croutons, castrations, cancers, colons, concretes, convulsions, corn-cobs. 'Where is my mind' by the Pixies; wish I'd never heard it before. No simile metaphor for what's next, swooping ultraviolent. Almost like skin being ripped off so I'm nothing but bone and muscle. 'With your feet in the air and your head on the ground,' the dam snaps and floods my Amsterdam cheeks like New Orleans; scrambling for roof I drown. Scrambling for roof I drown. 'Try to trick and spin it, yeah,' polka-dots and floaters; bacteria in my eye dives into the ocean and makes me wonder which flew bottom and rounded-dust to eat ***** on sea-floor. 'Your head will collapse, but there's nothing in it, and you'll ask yourself,' mashing cellphone numbers now; mashing cellphone needed now dad pick up please pick up worlds end pick up mom pick up I need to know I'm real I need to know there's truth, 'where is my mind? Where is my mind? Whee erre is my mind?' the world fades into itself and what crosses mind is death but no, why? No, need. Dad picks up to my heaving sobs. Rational, collected. Collect call. World freezes.

an ode to the panic attack.
At high-tech city street where trees flower in digital displays and giggles of girls repeatedly echo in metallic voices geeks, grave faced human computers crowd around a wooden push cart of a village belle selling boiled cobs of corn conspicuous by toothy yellow grin much like the seller's. Her single handed creation of cornucopia with farm fresh corn is no conundrum: the world of unreal, cyber nowhere, and it's zombies desperately seek the taste of reality bites to get grounded.

CORNUCOPIA
An unsuspecting observer would view his property as bland With subterranean secrets rarely breaching for detection When pointed ends met with his cracking winter surface The sludge bubbled out filling every empty space His inner oil to some Was black gold Prosperity To others still, a tar pit worthy of dinosaur death He grew as a sheet of ice which could harbor skating lessons Or unseen, send auto travelers in lack of traction spirals His light-stealing sticky venom clotted neural networks A fat tarantula plucking whims from the web between two ears He fraternized with Morpheus On odds With cousin evens Awakening unsure if he were caught in silky cobs Or the hands above it all He certainly felt like a marionette, dangling on feeble feet Pulled by the digits of ink stained impulse Hate, tug Create, tug They made him dance to their tattooed meter He felt the crunch of beetles and flies His temples throbbed as tar dripped from his eyes Drops forming clefs, pictures, and words I am but a stencil, he buzzed

118. Stencil 11/2/11
The unworded truth lay twisted, Where teething creatures stir. Caught in the cobs of forgotten crevasse, The doomed but dormant menace. Thy beast shall be relieved of such burden, Set free to light all darkness in flame To extinguish all, til no brightness remains. Putrid air from foul corpses, permeate the living. Forsaking unfit, weak forces; creating a race of productive courses.

Wretched Wasteland.
been awhile just wanted to let somebody know that being is doing fine being has never felt more complete but yet it is still incomplete out on these tiles finding remnants of the true nature within where are all of the friends so we can commence the feast it isn't proper until everyone has arrived and nothing will settle for less No need to digress. Where was the train of thought last? Funny. The reflection of past is foggy from the steam jet propulsion- scorching- water evaporation- writing words in the mirror to pass time even though all the time that was had has been burned when will being learn? ...i tsum og ffo.. ot eht wotrednu fo eht evaw.. sgniht lliw eb rethgirb.. taht i wonk os ll'i evom no...

feeding the spiders so the cobs webs can grow bigger
Actions not words, new lesson learned.. or trying at least. It's a hard one to swallow when it means so much more.. More to my heart.. To my health.. To my life... To question the actions of the one I hold dear.. I don't want to see, to look, or believe. Could you be... only words? You couldn't... You wouldn't.. be just like her?.. Her, a girl who cared for me not, but her words spun a web in which I got caught. Took a year to untangle, brush the cobs from my eyes To look at her actions and cast aside all the lies I tell myself now, never again But could you be.. only words? You couldn't.. You wouldn't .. just make believe? If so, I dont want to know, I'll just let it be. The truth would hurt more, or I'll die and then see. You couldnt.. You wouldn't.. do that to me?..

Lessons Learned. Wasted Words
Absurd accumulations, broad- cloth's to wipe each bays station! What a joke of clownery tools.Irritated refuge, instigated neices and nephews miss their woeful father's.... One for a count, a whole cell to a slaughter. Down and out lane I make mine way to your lonesome hell, where ankh arched wells draw back from higher hills..Robust outbreak of plentiful disease, orthopedics outclass your sneeze!!!! Ovation applauded to ******** alike!!! Ordaters to outvoted daters, silence is thy key to your miserable life!!!! Pasturage for slobs, corn for all cobs, your colonels panel design twists slow around the vine!!!! Seconds until six, ten minutes until nine....... Will you behave like the boy you should be? Or could have been?,

militarian communistic-
Icky things with legs and wings and oh! too many eyes! Things what hide in shadow spinning webs and eating flies. Little flying cobbies (They are not there in the book of insect or arachnid though I often look and look...) They were just too sneaky to get written down I s'poze... Still I know they're down there creeping up onto my toes!

Haiku
Last night i had a dream where heaven came to me did follow this road so beautiful the drive was oh so free led me to a place... a heaven ...a place for me the sea was so exciting ...crashing waves in jest a church left in the turmoil of battles gone and hence the ruins felt so so right they looked not out of place sea smelt of the saltiness yet bacon in the breeze a cafe puffed smoke from near the front so small it fit a few bacon cobs a plenty ..and tea so right not stewed two dogs did try and lick me ..they smelt a freind in me my heaven came to be my life ..its name obscured from veiw A map i found now of this place that hid so well from all they called it bourne ..i didnt know and never been before I woke up from my dream and knew what I had found a heaven from my inner side a calmness now was found

My heaven
I am a slave to change. Eager to finish self construction. The cobs of familiarity tighten As I long to breathe fresh air. Nervousness invites itself. What part of me will die, transform? And which part of me will hunger and be born?

Butterfly
On and on and on and on and when you think they're gone they go on and on and on and bomb. What hell is paradise? And what religious lunacy is this? why not blow a kiss and make a friend? don't blow a bomb up make this end But **** them if they think we fear we've seen enough and we hold dear the freedoms that our fathers fought for, no one wants this war no one wants the fight. Conspiracy theorists beware, we've seen it done it all been there and it's all a crock of **** do not get dragged into it.

Spitting cobs
Having just woke up and lit a smoke up I'm going to take up knitting. I'm spitting cobs here because of that fear and that fear being, the wings of the night that beat me into submission, to commission me into the army of the impossible into improbable situations. The four horsemen and the creation of dark dreams, screams in the closing of eye dreams. The racing of headlights and dipped beams and the sound of a carriage. A marriage of mind and mayhem where the phlegm of the soul plays a role on the boards with the devil and his hordes. I'm taking up knitting and I'm going to knit me a shawl then I shall wrap myself in it and when the wings beat against me, it will be my defence against the night and the enemy. and the dreams that haunt me.

Pearl diving in Pompey
Old Sam's last supper The old jailer came around to Sam that night. He asked Sam what he wanted for supper. Old Sam said with a smile on his face. Mash tarter piled sky high, gravy that runs down the side like A river. Corn on the cobs with the corn being real yellow. Like as if the sun was shining on it. A nice thick steak rare to see the blood I have spilled. A thick pile of apple pie with whippers-in on top as if it had snowed. The jailer said will do, Sam said if he could eat his supper by the moon light it would be great. After the meal old Sam said to the jailer. Let's get this necktie party started. I want to go home to heaven before the morning sun.

Old sam's last supper.
We grudge in pains Tears soaks our pillows We mourn and groan Nightmares stomp on our hearts Tearing deep into the soul While sorrow captivates the heart... leaving the spirit to battle with grieves ... We battle to be freed from the tangled cobs of madness but the more we try, the less we gain.. The more our pain increases, the heart looses its grip But surely, we try but fail.... In all our attempts to be loosen We omit the path... The path of certainty that break all chains Our only path to unexplainable peace We fail to commune with our Creator Who was,Who is and will still be We give prayer an exception... But get ourselves encumber with frivolous pleasures... Which only last a moment or less... leaving us feel more depressed the soul often oppressed the spirit... entangled with torments And Alas! we aim for suicides.... Oh! What peace we often forfeit oh! What joy we often lose All because we fail to carry Everything to God.. In Prayer....

The exempted Path
You sneezed your disapproval away and the phlegm of your mind came raining down.                                     I didn’t move a finger.                                     I had my mask on. The insignia of the emperor, I don’t have, for the sun that guides my path is bright but not blood-colored. Your gang judged, anointed not - I don’t belong, we don’t. Still I wasn’t moved.                                        I have my mask on. There at the throne, the jolly Governor sat, flanked by the nobles of Royal Court – all smiling, like full-grained opaque white corn, where within the holding cobs the worms had spread the contagion, boring the core to pitiful emptiness. But I wasn’t moved. I won’t move. I know too well.                                     They have their masks on.
