DarkPoetry -|- liquid_emotion -|- By The By

By The By

Sleep swollen feet touch cool tile
In the morning light, pale and buttercup yellow
Seen through double vision tired eyes
Walk on stiff sleepy legs towards a porcelain bowl
A mirror reflecting mussy hair
And pillow creases on my cheek
Cool water splashes my face, drips down my chin
Mint foam filling my mouth
As I scrub away the film and remember
By the by, I dreamt about you last night

ah, i'd almost forgotten about the beautiful simplicity that is to be found in your words... refreshing, this piece was with a little twist of downplayed passion

Reminds me of when I daydream while I continue to function outside of the dream. Good stuff. :)

what an excellent last line... just kinda an 'in passing' feeling that comes off oh so poetic and romantic.

Thank you... And yes, I did. I actually write mostly one liners... Maybe one day I'll put them all up on a poem. They are my specialty though, so I must copyright them first.
