Twirling Revelations
...Warmth, surrounded me…always
My lips, my eyes, closed… 
Mesmerized by the darkness that brought me consolation
I remember there were colors under those lids,

I love you so much.
I trust you......

Their way
Gallop the day
By thrusting, trusting
Emblazoned minds
Envious looks deflected
As the clan stays on task
The full-time preoccupati......

despised, 
untrusted, 
unwanted globs of wasted space lies beneath

Rolls of ugliness,
sadness,
deceit, 
tragedy,
nostalgic fluff swimming underneath these

Rolls of hate,......
