realities of imagination


  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.
