I caught myself mixing up words
and forgetting what I felt for life.
Everything ran together like
kindergarten watercolors and
rainbow colored ecstasy called
finger paint.
Where did all the pain go? What about
those endless moments of gaping holes
and unfufilled dreams? Abracadabra;
and suddenly *poof*. Doesn't matter &&
never did.
BOOM! I'm seeing fireworks.
Contemplating moments of laughter and
coffee induced grins wide and unweary.
Dreamed up stories; maybes of what
tomorrow could hold. Do you think
of dancing too?
Words spoken only once. Laid
in the open prepared for firing
squads to practice taking aim.
Firing off limbs and leaving us
aching with infected wounds.
Yet through a twist of irony,
the kind only fate creates,
we orbit about these tender
words until they explode.
The ticking bomb we've put on hold.
Sick with anticipation and the
hope of sometime soon. We
flit seemingly unnoticed,
cleverly dancing around our
feelings. Yet no one is
quite so dense as to be
unaware of the nature of
the underlying current.
Grains of sand are falling slow;
understanding to the power
of perfect moments. While
we, seemingly as clever as
sharptongued Titania and
vengeful Oberon, let flames
of emotion drift through the
sea. Lapping at the shore-
side. Threatening high tide
too soon.
I know you feel it too.

Quick notes: You've got a brain use it. So I'm sure you'll figure out the imagery yourself. However the Titania and Oberon reference? I hope you've read "A Midsummer Night's Dream". In the play Titania and Oberon are two faries (king and queen) who fight over Puck (Robin Goodfellow) the servent boy. To say anything else will give away the play.
The title? Most of this stuff I wrote about is stuff only going through my head. It's nothing tangible... Yet. Just because I imagined a lot of it and it's all in my brain doesn't make it any less real.
