"I am okay no worries just a bad hairday I guess"



***********

“ The Dark of Night “

 

The dark of night leans upon my window
Spilling its wet breath against my windowpane

Rainbow dreams messing into my lap
And a pigmy that’s telling me he will see you soon

Splashing moonlights in this pitch black night
A darkness that is calling me

Wants to cover me up tonight
Into a snow white winters tail

And with the heartache
Of this darkest night

Crawling down my window pane
In the wonder of a fairy tail

That makes you think
How unimportant age has become

An owl and pigmy fetching raindrops
Splashing them against crystal glass

Make believe and pretending
Can make origin not to be so scary

And the rhythm of the lyrics
Come begging for some kind word in verse

I am crying with my pigmy friend
Who fetches drops of rain to shed a tear with me

And messing upon my windowpane
Until the rainbow falls from heaven

And the foot prints of the pigmy disappears
And moonlight dripping down

From the street lamp and window
Until silence of life appears]

And the fairy tail ends
A sad cry jumps out into the night

Begging for peace of mind
Pillow wet...heart crying out loud

Come back to me... rainbow dream scattered
And darkness is calling me

And cover me up
In total black

Bad hair days make me blue, too, Tinky. But those pygmy friends can work wonders; especially the little furry ones.

Excellent portayal of the diversity of emotion and attitude of the heart and mind. the dream is the subconsious telling the concscious to appreciate the light, for darkness looms, but cannot swallow. Art

Behind the Gates: Behind the Gates: A 1990s Hollywood Romantic Suspens by Lisa Maliga

The higher you go into the hills, the deeper the secrets... A seemingly innocent piece of mail shatters the illusion of Beverly Hills luxury, forcing a terrifying statement from a powerful action movie mogul: "they can't kill us fast enough."
