Ayshela Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 posting per request Another midnight's come and gone.. i wander the house and wonder, if i were to close my eyes, what would there be to see? it seems, so much, there's no place left.. my only refuge now destroyed, no safe haven within reach, just that i wish would let me be. there aren't blankets enough for warmth the shivering cold has gone soul deep there aren't locks enough to make safe hiding place in which to creep check the doors and windows now.. and now choose which book to read, maybe play a game instead, and make a pot of tea do anything to stall the time.. the ravening bedmonster waits, maybe if i close my eyes, this time they won't see ME? i am so deathly, deadly tired yet all that i can do is run if this is a battlefield.. i fear they've won

Peredhil Posted October 16, 2003 Report Posted October 16, 2003 When the rhythmns of body and day Reach their nadir Then you need help now And not later Lending truth to the old saw Darkest night before the dawn When the demon beasts of past seem won Seek the warmth of friends.
Ayshela Posted October 16, 2003 Author Report Posted October 16, 2003 brings warm soft blankets for both, and joins Wrenwind with a thankful smile *nod* i usually end up sitting at my computer, or curled up at the end of the couch.. generally the only one awake at such ungodly hours, though.. lol might as well post this here to make sense of a line in the previous, though. it still needs some polishing, but the explanation of "the ravening bedmonster" - The monstrous bed is lying there yawning, awaiting me. Its warm, enticing breath wafts over, caressing me, coaxing me, to come.. come.. come to bed. When i can resist no longer i cross the room unwillingly and carefully lie down. Pillowed on the waiting ivory, i pull the tongue up snugly and lie there awaiting disaster.
