(35. Today's prompt is: "Images in the Dark")

eyes closed, sleeping colors, shadows and red spots
yellow specks pulsing with my heartbeat
or muted daylight fusing the rainbow
into single fat gyrating stripes
thoughts hover in the never land
between today and another dimension
extensions of my wakefulness
creating momentary images in the dark
staring siamese blue eyes fade into
a sphinx from another epoch
crumbling imprecise features depict
mysteries enclosed in secret places
unspeakable whisperings
memories from my personal depths
floating restlessly from
the prison where the freedom of my imagination
roams between its guilded bars...
startled awake from their reality
they dissipate before I remember their power
in an uneasy sense of calm
the china cat somehow fell from the top shelf


hovering
