[hometext] => Somebody.... anybody.... get me out of here.... :*-(
[bodytext] => Days consisting of strong coffee and endless demands, Sky-scrapers of files waiting to be shoved away, Papers raining from the sky, pooling around my feet, Up to my neck with phone calls and duties unmet… Searching desperately for an escape… Reveries of a place, millions of miles away from here, Day is night, night is day, Eyes no longer a honey hue, Red cracks of sleepless nights adorning them, My mind is an over-fried mass of pink density, Surprised to find there are still words inside… Help me stay awake, I’m falling, Coffee stains running all along my mind, Residues of adrenaline lost in the eternal, Voices rise from their slumber, And begin their insufferable prayers, Of lost dreams and unfinished symphonies… Insomnia dressed as that golden-haired illusion of mine, With its bittersweet hymns of love and destiny, Depriving me of rest, yet, I can’t help but be grateful… And listen and weep and sigh, At every note it sings… Blissful sorrow caressing my heart, I closed my eyes for an eternity, Returned to my world of ethereal joys and fantasy, But only for a moment, Only for one fleeting lapse of time… I can never be completely free, From this tedious prison of life and occupation… Floating off to a dream world, Loving the kisses of the sun, so warm and comforting, Like an embrace from an old friend… My body’s been long since forgotten, Incorporeal flights of fancy, All trapped within the corners of my fevered mind… I open my eyes once more, Tears of frustration and recklessness trailing down, Humid tracks of past rains, No sunshine, no endless beach and sand, Just these four white walls, a depthless sea of files and papers, Remnants of my reverie abandoned in some other realm, Beyond these prison fortifications… I’m still here… [comments] => 6 [counter] => 180 [topic] => 63 [informant] => FleurdeSang [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => hbadday )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
