A career is wonderful, but you can&#039;t curl up with it on a cold night. <br /> Marilyn Monroe <br /> <br /> Fiction is the truth inside the lie. <br /> Stephen King <br /> No, it&#039;s not a very good story - its author was too busy listening to other voices to listen as closely as he should have to the one coming from inside. <br /> Stephen King

I weep as I sleep serenely deep,
Without a peep I currently keep.
These dreams these sorrowful seams,
Unravelled streams that greatly gleams,
In a lucid light so boldly bright,
A fright in the dead of darkest night.
As I'm swooned in the morbid moon,
A platoon of thoughts until high noon.
Simply sweet steamy solemn retreat,
My feet curl in this hindered harsh heat.
My tribulations of constant infatuations,
Degradations of my stormy salvations.
Thunder's raging it's eagerly engaging,
I wonder waiting, debating, contemplating.
Hark the arch angel, hear her tall tale,
The wail, flail of loss and a love so stale.
I ache as I break from this burning stake,
Plunged to take haste as I wearily wake.
I cover my faces hiding these putrid places,
My mind races leaving these eerie embraces!
