Sleeping is hard. I need all the help I can get.

I pretend to know your voice:

Dark, and husky. That's my choice.

Breathy. Low. Like liquid sex.

A dragon's voice from damsel's neck.

It seems to fit, but then again...

It's not the same one from your pen.

That voice is strange. Fairies chittering.

Cackling jays. Chipmunks skittering.

Nonsensical music, sang by the breeze...

The only thing for words like these.

In my head, I hear you laugh

A rising giggle crescendos fast

Up comes hand to cover mouth

As chuckle sneaks its glad way out

You look surprised to hear the sound

Then another, and by now you've found

There's even more. A traffic jam

Of impatient laughter moves your hand

Guffaws and cackles all explode

Like certain arrows from a certain bow.

In my dreams, we met and danced

In surreptitious happenstance

Around the lake, in swirling mist

We alternate: First, dance. Then, kiss.

And then, before you make me go

I carry you back to your home.

I set you down upon your dock

And hit BREW on the coffee pot.

We sit together in silent peace

And share a mug. Just you and me.

That is how I go to bed.

With pretend voices in my head.

I have funny dreams...
Thx, it's another one that just kind of wrote itself.

who doesn't love a good cant-help-but laugh?

[Papaya]

laughter is so infectious.
kind of like yawns are only way better

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

I wonder if you did both at once, would your head turn inside out?
And would that, in turn, trigger people that SAW it to do the same?

[Papaya]

I hope not because then my brains would fall out and I need those.

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

Nonsense!
Brains are overrated.
All mine's done recently is get me in trouble.
All you REALLY need to do is find a friend smarter and wiser than YOU are and...
oh... right.
lol nevermind.
