The Boy I See in My Sleep
The brine seemed to vibrate...
The images of the cotton candy puffs slowly melt...
The great lemon drop seems to ooze...
Small tremors make the sugar floor shift...
His wine locks tugged at his jaw...
Chocking him slightly...
As if to make him move along with his small journey...
His apple eyes blink nonchalantly...
He calmly returned his attention to the earth before him...
His footsteps are necromantic...
Making the air around him bloom...
Stalwart boughs rest in a locked 45 degree angle...
His nimble legs created small convulsions...
His narcissistic lips rested in a routine glower...
But he could never fool those who saw him...
His absorption with the aquamarine glass slowly returned...
A tiny smirk formed across the auric face...
"I can see you; and I have the same feelings for you as well..."
"He had me at Hello with his insane thoughts of Neverland... Like such a place could exist in a world such as this... and yet he showed me.... this mysterious land known as Neverland... he guided me with his words and his hand... The feelings of relief and safety overwhelmed me... as if... Neverland was the place I should forever remain... with him.."

Favorite Quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
—Marianne Williamson
