under the covers

not controlling a dream

we have no control of our dreams

we can  try to shut out a person while we are   wide  awake and thinking consciously

we can divert when engrossed in a book , a movie , news or with  children

we can walk in the sun and swim in the water    without much thought of the past person

but lo and behold    we go to sleep in the darkness and wrestle , talk with, get frustrated with,  or love passionately   -   without control --  that person.... till we

wake up and try to remember

the other life      the dream     Marilyn may 27  2015

I've a feeling that your poetry ain't just looked like poetry but kinda .. some sorta .. like a cascaded glimpse of "Journal-Writing" that you systematically rendering to such glorious pages. Every moment, though, the seen-unseen vision & realism of capricious vibes ... is "lo & behold" pen'd up .. with an ink of peace. Kinda fascinating to read how majestically you writing on. Always an honor to read "you"!

YOU give me way too much credit.. just wanted to get the essence of a dream out so without telling exactly what it was, I simply wrote this and felt better.. maybe it is a selfish thing that happens here... by writing. You have a huge heart majestic makes me smle what are your inspirations for your writing?

[Adam Adams]

Well, am just simplistically "saying" or "giving" what you just deserved. If your writing won't be so powerful or, what I say like yea, "Majestic", i'd have nev'r visited your page again. Right? It's the "power of excellence" - the course of passion that you've got stuck in your heart which pulls not just to me but to you "loyal" readers to your pages... & I guess, that's all the reason behind my "inspirations" that certainly comes outta those who touches an every shade of my heart & saves it not getting faded away. Sounds fascinating!

[marilyn 1225]

yes your inspiration are the people in your life who have touched you in their own way owning your heart in a way and by your writing about it they live on.in your own heart .. as all characters who are drawn well in words live on in others... one of my favorite books is Withering Heights rarely cry but did everytime I have read it especially at this age lol so what a gift the author gave to herself and to her readers over time.... you are Majestic

Oh.. how wonderful it's to bewitched by such a witch of green-meridian-time-chicklit! Damn!
Oh, you meant: "Wuthering Heights" written by a very articulated & sophisticated bimbo named "Emily... Emily Bronte" ... is that the same book where a glimpse of Romeo and Juliet you may find or read through their visions (characters or outlines) ... Damn, you be so romantic bimbo! You ain't sound so old as you mention yourself ... are you sure you are 41.. ? Or it's like 14? You sure you know the exact no. of your age, you sure, you ain't tossed it?? Lol *Kidding*
