I look to find who I am but can�t stand to face her.
Laziness overcomes in an attempt to avoid conflict.
I lose grasp of the unreality I�ve created
and huddle in the corners of my mind
    afraid to see her,
       touch her,
           hear her,
afraid she�ll say Hello.

Paralyzed screams of terrified child
locked in a cage of make believe.
Dreaming of reality.









         
         






         

         
I discard my bourbon locks clumsily
             out the balcony window
            forgetting that it has breached
          to safety of my Sanctuary.

          Pricked by cinders
           burning needles taunting me
             helplessly calling
           softly mimicking faeries
          who are hypnotized.




Rotten melodies of caresses
     remembered in forgetfulness
        playing hop-scotch on sensible endings
                     to homespun mush
                spinning incessantly
             smiling venom
        creeping consciousness.

Confident of fear
   fearing confidence
      Reality
         fading
   into faerieland landscapes
          of Empty.
