MALCONTENT

My mind, too tightly wound Spinning the gears, burning them out, Stripping them as their speed exceeds. Grasping the binding Of subconscious activity; Throwing sparks into my dreams Breaking wakefulness, unfettering sleep. I drift beyond a tormented reach, As a mysterious cloak falls down obscuring my vision - From what you try to hide from me. Trickster, playing with my eyes throwing nebulas before me, Glowing dust that glitters in the light. Fantasy now encircles reality, With a dose of magic, moon-inspired beams. While you grasp stardust in your hands Scattering it over all that I am; For hallucinations are your game making me dance to this tune, The only one that I now hear - thanks to you. Immersed in this world that seems artificial, superficial and so temporary; Fragile as glass and unsteady, easily shattered. Consciousness conforms, Random laughs unfold, circling our destiny With a madness that lies far beyond....... Our feeble human touch.

like everyone else, I'm blown away! your words have painted such images in my mind, that i don't need to open my eyes right away. i can just sit for awhile and rest them. i'm going to close my eyes and see golden,glowing,stardust splashing about and try to forget about the last few days. it is truly amazing to come back after only two days away and see all this beautiful work. i have to go now and rest my eyes before they go bad again. loved it!gee
