Dreams of Me...

Old movies from the past, flash with movement of the eyes

nagging sense of wonder, in sleeping rooms of the mind

The body held in check, by eons-old safeguards

and fear of going wild

Opening closed doors, looking for the truth

just curious...?

Not likely

Searching for a grain of promise

amongst dusty memories

Wandering the corridors of the past

looking for what?

Vindication of the emotions

the hurt soul of a child

twisted into a Killer

Powerful...

Thank you Lonnie, Yes, we old farts can still turn a phrase. It seems like relating to the rest of the world, gets harder all th time, but as long as we still keep trying, I guess we will get by. You ain't so bad yourself. ~ Gee

"...in sleeping rooms of the mind"

Ann of Norway "in sleeping rooms of the mind" Oh I love that Sir Gee, and I understand your fervour, being a Knight of the realm makes for things hard to come to terms with, and you do it so well. We all have our stronger instincts which if used to the full can plunge us into more trouble than they were worth, and yet it is this enthusiasm that drives the creativity in our minds and makes the blood race in our veins, the stars shine brighter than they really are and we are made so happy, is it an illusion of mind? Or is it just the joy of living? Whatever it is you carry your sword with such grace and trying to understand is enough to make you worthy to remain an honoured knight, I send you a reflection of the galaxies to light your way. Your Queen is well pleased with her knight's verse, take heed subjects he has a good mind and a heart of valour. Love from little Ann.

In sleeping rooms of the mind...

there are reflections of the stars here at Neo. I am constantly reminded and aware of the true talent that resides in this wonderful land. I strive mightly to uphold the standard of the realm, as I travel this life. The trials and tribulations I encounter, are the things that make my life interesting, and the praise and honors recieved from my queen and the people of Neopoetland, are the food for my soul. ~ With love, ~ Sir Gee

Wandering through...

unused and deserted rooms of the mind, can be strangely fascinating, and rewarding. As always, I too, look forward to the chat. It is always great to see all of you, and to see the dreams and stories that you bring. Love back at you, ~ Gee
