[hometext] => I think this is the best thing I've ever written; covers a lot of stuff that floats around my head... comments would be very much appreciated.
[bodytext] => Strike the pure sound, Let it ride, The peace endures the voyeurism as you watch, The ticking clock slows and stops. You are enveloped in a bubble, There could yet still be trouble... Degradation lies in wait. Every house conceals the secrets, Hidden movements of societal freaks; These strangers seem to move in tandem, Ignorance is theirs to keep. Midnight kisses on the beach, Another source of satisfaction, Wake at noon, Scream at the skies, Lament the lack of lullabies. Dreamless night returns again, Dagger in your tender gut, Kitten crying in the gutter. Emerge from chrysalis, Begin to flutter. Embrace experience, Retain your memories, Crystalline fragments of the past, Stored in unique configurations. Build the library, Continue to expand, Never contract. Resist the nature of the sloth; Don't wait around for it to happen, Smile when it takes you. Let your feet go to the life stream, Be shy or nimble. Please hold her hand as hard as you can, Learn the images in the iris. Brace against the sharpness of rusted nails, Open sails and cast adrift, The wind shall sometimes guide you home. Translucency is a wicked curse; Though society can sap your strength, Stay with your morals steadfastly, With your feet planted firmly in the ground And your eyes Ever upward to the skies.
