Sometimes I peel off fantasies
one by one, rip them slow,
left naked under cold flesh
where shades of truth will show-
Often trapped in reality streams
flowing, flowing in never ending days-
Oh what life becomes!
But to heal, to refresh,
sometimes I must
wake the lasting haze
of dreams-

“In all of us, even in good men, there is a lawless wild-beast nature, which peers out in sleep.”

Confidence in a shell bound to earth
my spirit trust the vessel, strong, pliable
like a branch daring the passing storms-
But unseen the smallest killers, undeniable,
suffocating my forced breaths for relief
from a pain and misery which turns
restless dreams into feverish nightmares-
It all shall pass… attempts to believe
this stronghold will suffice
for the passing of another storm-

I’ve been sick for the last five days. Last night fever took hold until breaking off around 3 AM. I feel better today and nervous since I have a seven day trip to Fiji starting in the 15th and I can’t scuba unless I can clear my lungs and head before then. I usually don’t get sick at all, very strong immune system and I take good care of my body so timing really sucked.
