The Construction of a Dream

The Construction of a Dream
Suggested by: Myself (I can have one once in a while, yeah?)

As the sun begins to descend behind the distant mountains, and the inky blackness of night begins it's march across the sky, a mass of clouds start to gather on the western horizon. The change in pressure and the dropping temperatures ignite the clouds en masse into quite an affair, as more and more converge. Their chattiness can be heard for miles, softly at first, but soon will blossom into a full chorus of brash and bold sound.

You lie in your bed, blankets strewn about as you struggle to drift into that peaceful pool of wondrous sleep. Your head sinks deeper into your pillow as you hope to coax your imagination from it's hiding place, from deep in the recesses of your mind. You finally begin to feel that lull before you fade entirely in to sleep and await to take the plunge into peace.

Your mind begin wonder and wander; a soft dripping raps out at your window as the chorus of clouds, in all their giddiness, start to boil over with emotion and release it building tension. It is slow, in the beginning, as a few drops fall. How soft it sounds; peaceful, even. Your mind and body meld into your bed as you become fully immersed with every feeling and sound that surrounds you. You can picture each drop as it hits the glass, the picture in your mind forming behind your eyes as they hypnotize you into relaxation.

The drops begin to catch the window, slowly rolling down, collection it's brethren as it glides downhill. Your thoughts gather as well, with this new world expanding before you. How melancholy, as the blues and grays make waves, the ebb and flow of your consciousness grabbing at the raft as you slowly drift off to sea, surrounded by the waters that deepen the further out you go, readying itself for you to take that final plunge into a bottomless slumber.

Too Much, Too Little

Too Much, Too Little How much is too much? The beginning is always exciting when jumping in to a new potential relationship. The conversations, the connections, the sex; the stimulation is invigorating. Endorphins flowing, synapses bursting in excitement. Overjoyed is an understatement. The time you want to spend with them needs to be perfect if you want those feelings to continue, so you push yourself on to them; text after text, phone call after phone call, spending as much time together as physically possible. You feel comfortable, despite something bubbling underneath that you are unaware of. ... Your friend, your partner, feels overstimulated; pressured beyond belief. They don't know where to turn, how to end things without losing a friendship they thought they wanted. Do they want that friendship anymore? Confusion settles in. Do they want you? These thoughts formulate in the back of their mind, crawling their way to the forefront, doing whatever they can to protect you from ...

When The Waves Come Crashing Down

When the Waves Come Crashing Down A sunny day, calm and relaxing. Time spent in the warm sand, soaking in life. Feet digging in sand with the water lapping lazily over them. No stress, mind drifting. Yourself breathing easily as you begin to drift into a deep lull. Soothing. The tides roll in, slowly rising to your ankles, your calves. You pay no mind. You're in your zone, transfixed on that which brought you here; peace, at last. No longer do you worry about the day-to-day. There is no pain resting heavily on your chest, your mind, while you absorb all that is good surrounding you. If only you could have reached this point sooner. There would be more life to enjoy. The tides continues to rise, silently crawling towards your knees, your thighs. You ignore the water as best you can. The heaviness of the sand, as it entrenches your legs feels kind of good. You shift just enough to break up the sand and ease back into tranquility. The water continues to wash over you an...

Change is Weakness Entering the Body

Change is Weakness Entering the Body Suggested By: Jean Cottrill A coldness settles within you, one that eats away at you, freezing your thoughts to a moment quickly becoming lost, causing confusion and pain and worry. Worry that you'll never get back that which you so long for; confusion as to how things have seemingly stopped in their path, halting your life as you knew it; Pain that stabs deep in your subconscious that will seemingly never cease, as you try to adjust to this new way of life. Life. You never see what's coming as much as you think. The branching paths that you, without notice, know which to take now have road blocks  stretching across their width, limiting your choice to one that is unfamiliar and frightening. As much as you want to avoid it, in this instance, you cannot. You are forever stuck with this decision. That pain comes back and gnaws at you, desperately clinging to the notion that there had to be a different way for you to go. There ju...
