My sanity

My grounding

My essence

My being

My thoughts

My hopes

My dreams

They are all fleeing

All that is me

And harnessed within

Crumpled in my mind

Thrown out on a whim

For the need to fit in

Is something many seek

To volunteer all you hold dear

Is depressing and meek

Do not throw away

All that you know

For the chance to agree

For the oppourntity to please

Stand in your convictions

On so...

Suspended in time

Illuminated by an artificial auora

Colors envelope us as the disco ball rotates above

Our eyes interlocked in a fleeting exchange

My body frozen out of fear

Broken by an instinctual smile I contort on my face

Reminiscent of the one I sported when we were in love

You return the gesture

With a quick wave and flash of those beautiful pearly whites, you disappear with someone int...

It’s beautiful that we find purpose in creativity

Often creativity is rooted in originality

And yet one of those most beautiful things of all time is love

The one topic it is impossible to be original about

I wanted to write about you here, I passed you by in the street today. But I didn’t feel the agony I thought I would. You’re a stranger I can smile at....

A consumer of the world

Everything lies in my hands

Treasures and trinkets

From beautiful and faraway lands...

They say when you think of someone randomly

It’s because that person is thinking of you

I cannot see how it is possible for my thoughts to be reciprocated when any evidence of your existence is something you withdrew

And still my psyche is caught in a whirlwind of memory and fantasy

I know half of what I recall is just potential I saw, not a reflection of you but of what I would have done if yo...

Barren walls, complimented by a single Scooby Doo themed light switch panel, all at the ripe age of twenty two years old.

Miscellaneous hats stacked disorderly upon the dresser look more like the remnants of an earth quake than they do the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Immediately next to this scene, a barrage of at least a dozen cologne bottles, each with a unique presentation (not to mention scent). ...

“When the door didn’t open, my mind did, to all the reasons why I was in danger.”

“You walk right up to the counter and scream, ‘I AM THE RIZZLER! GIVE ME ALL THAT YOU GYATT IN THE SAFE!’”

End of story....

Delicately and slowly, the impression fades.

My existence gently dissipates

Peace as I sink into its silky grasp

Cusping my body

Enveloping senses with a hospitable cool touch

Nourishing me from within

Time dissolves

Suddenly I am everywhere

But I am here

Not paralyzed, but transfixed by comfort

Everyone go buy a target mattress topper ....
