Lucid days and languid dreams

sometimes I wake up tasting
burnt coffee and my cheek is damp
because I’ve been stretched out on my back
on mildewy grass on the
hillside of this haven
staring at mocha eyes and a
face of smiles and
swirls, a kind,
that I don’t recognise
but I know closer that my own.
The moment
promises nothing
but a sweet
intoxicating
now

instead i roll out of bed
and let hot water coax
me out of the meandering
of time stretched

but hot water and cold mirrors
can’t stop me

wanting
wanting
wanting

    whatever you do please don’t change this stanza

    instead i roll out of bed
    and let hot water coax
    me out of the meandering
    of time stretched

    oh and love the title by the way.

    Really nice piece Nat, it sounds like the ordeal I have trying to drag myself out of bed ;)

    thanks Ryan : ) I’m happy with that stanza too, think will just rework the beginning and add to it. I wrote it at work and it doesn’t feel over yet.
