Every night for the past 30 years,

One that I really liked.
And I’ve been staring at it ever since…

Hi! This keeps coming back to me...a half-conscious thought between realms, of consciousness and a transemotional dream state. Searching myself and my understanding of this new emotional core that I'm just now learning how to tap into and embody, I come to the realization...And I just wanted to share it with you all.

Hi!

Love Lies Waiting
By C Joseph Whitehood
.
My doubt is a cave, dark and
black. My love is a dragon
sleeping in the back...I stand at
the mouth and fearfully wait...
bound to a stake, my flesh as
bait. Never knowing what will
happen when my lover comes
awake...but regardless of what

once her golden eye opens,
somebody is going to bake...the
