What happens when you miss something so much that
the cigarette burns out on your toe
and you don't even notice?
When the music fades and you still hear it?
When the light breaks through the purple haze of invisible cloud
and you still only drift
in the comfortable black
of all you cannot see...
How much alcohol does it take to burn the insides like now?
He hadn't a clue
Maybe she had
Maybe she did
Maybe she could
Comforting thought that
Gut wrenching?
Not quite.
Just enough for a subtle curl of a nicotine stained lip
Picturing hers
frosted pearl
parched with longing
Dream on sweet child
Those eyes were always blind
Like yours
And all the while you knew
you were lying and smiling to yourself
because you needed to believe
it was true
Every shade of blue
You eked out of the green
Shutting out the cloying yellow
That clung on in triumph
Knowing they were right
all along
and real
Paint your dreams
and they'll never come true
Shut your eyes
and they just might

"Paint your dreams
and they'll never come true
Shut your eyes
and they just might"
really?I think I will believe/do anything if they,dreams, only come true!!! alright I'll go shut my eyes now:)
Nice one :)
Was wondering what's up...
That was a good one. Like one of your older ones.
pincushion: no sleep- no dreams- no pain :P
thanks for visiting
yashita : have a good one
flights of the mind: thank you
bb: ditto.
Thought you'd stopped visiting! oh, and before you can complain- thank you :)
"when the light breaks....invisible cloud"," a subtle curl of a nicotine stained lip"..."those eyes were always blind,like yours"..."eked out of the green"....you got a beautiful one there.
dreams do come true
just concentrate
n wait....
it works
Only you can make the dreams come true, but are they the right dreams?
That's a tough question? Who decides?
"And all the while you knew
you were lying and smiling to yourself
because you needed to believe
it was true"
How True. And for now, I will choose to disagree with the last four lines!!
What happens...becomes a Syd Barrett...
What happens to a dream deferred?/Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or does it explode?
procheta: thanks and take your pick. would have liked more imagery and colour though.
jon cox: thank you again
sophie: i'm not the patient sort :P
mermaid: why is it that I think your getting under the skin of it all in a trice -and it makes me wonder...no decisions.
no sense.
thank you
sd: you surprise me. Wisdom/ a different tack/ cynicism?
and what would your version of the last four lines be?
thanks for visiting.
white magpie: if it implodes- then you're right, we have a Barrett-(Syd and not Oliver?)
what if it fades?
the raisin analogy is interesting- disturbing too.
thanks for reading me :)
pain in floods of prose amid colour weeping like open sores.
i like
really like
:)
Incredible emotions! A wonderful piece of writing.
BLOODY HELL.. this is the best..I love this so damn much..
But how long can one be shut away frm the reality.. ?

A tugging mix of emotions and feelings and bleeding pain swirled into oblivion. Stunning write!!
