Morning again without sleep,awake on the quilt,where are the pills?
Nightmares shadow lingers in the mind,like under the sea,full of ills.
They come at night mostly at night anxious thoughts panic,
Is there anyone else awake?walking beneath the sma hours stars,
Sweat freezing on brow howling in ears chasing round the fears,
He sits and waits with lolling tongue breath misting in air,
Red eyes spark anticipating the chase,white teeth sharp,
Hair raisng like wooden stalks pointed with death at their tip
Do i want to be here within this fractious crowd?
Scared to go to sleep,scared to be awake,
Panic within need to run and be alone,
COLOR FORMS
The movers and shakers of art delight.
In the shadowbox-brain they regain sight.
Dear Dorothy clicks her sarcoline heels.
Her striped boat sailing on sea-hued teals.
Zenith dawn blazes in coquelicot hue.
The artist’s tipsy trees blushed pink and blue.
Majestic Oz - smaragdine-jeweled city.
Ponies prance romantic colors - witty.
Brush brush brush then fill the scarecrow with straw.
His prideful chest overloaded and raw.
The movers and shakers of art transform
Fairy tales into surreal color forms.

CHARISMA!
Strong attributes she possess reflects her charismatic nature!
Natural as she is, portrays her remarkable!
As serene as she speaks, her words don’ bear any traces of volatile.
Her volition is of a woman with charisma!
Yes. She’s charismatic…
Only a pure mind could see that!
She is sensible that she glides with great caution on the dance floor.
Beautifully defined by nature…
With closed eyes her beauty is seen far n’ beyond.
Such a great charisma with a bold heart…
Connects with the naïve and vulnerable heart,
So neat as she speaks…
Streams flow as she spit syllables from her lips.
One will feel the need to dedicate a lullaby,
to her delicate copper skin with no alibi,
so, she is lone, therefore found a lonesome pal,
no need to look pale…tomorrow will be sane.
Warm personality to be envied by many,
Yet many won’t recognize her rich mind.
Because of her brain, she is a woman with SUBSTANCE…
A woman with CHARACTER…
That’s CHA-RI-SMA
