Dream of You Dancing on the Beach
I found myself stressing little decisions of normalcy and possible ways I was annoying people just before bed, and instead of a proverb or a chastisement came…You…dancing on the beach, and it was summer there. 😊☀️🏝. I realized your identity was not perfectly defined, and my view of you was a little blurry as you […]

The Dream of Your Ex
The dreams I’ve had with your ex, you are not in them, and he’s floated in…And he is unusually still, like a potato on my counter-type of presence, does not speak—any conversation already begun, stops. He seems to operate by a different law of gravity. I never met the man or spoke to him either. […]

“Dream Catcher”
“Dream Catcher” by Jade Nicole Beals hear me read the poem: You are a few years younger than me, and you’d already felt much wiser. I remember when you sent me a poem; I thought, is this by William Shakespeare? It can’t be for me? It is so good. It was in the days of […]

Words Arranged, Well, These…
night and almost morningtime (continues) What if this book I am reading could be done and I can close it and move onto a new one? Is it fair I judge the book by the author’s name and opening sentence, if it’s a pen-name too? Only teasing a little, but the novel is just a […]

A Dream Definition, An Apple Suggestion, and A Cat with a Full Repertoire for His Paws
After I wrote yesterday evening, I dreamed some invisible being wanted me to know very directly and with great importance, yet in true life the line is metaphoric: “You are in essence a fairy woman, and you are meant to be with apples often.” I set up a bath ready with apple slices: two slices […]

“The Pinnacle”
by Jade Nicole Beals There was a plea from you to forget the scales as the music fell from all around you, and little cue notes drifted into my sleep, like windows in my dreams looking out, and you smiling through you as you know you are the dream come true, the scales returning to […]

My Dream of a Paper I Didn’t Request but Read Anyway
I dreamed last night I had a few printed pages given to me by an unspecified fortune teller, predictions I did not ask for, but ‘here it is!’ I see. On the front page, it predicts that I am most fond of the Full Moon…and there’s an illustration of a very big round and bright […]

I will begin writing my first novel and painting for my next art show I’d like to have, so the blog pace will slow (of course it needs to ;), but the site will be open, about painting and my novel in progress, and more.—But I am currently writing a short story, and I may […]

From ‘The Convent Threshold’ by Christina Rossetti
From ‘The Convent Threshold’ By Christina Rossetti I tell you what I dreamed last night:A spirit with transfigured faceFire-footed clomb an infinite space.I heard his hundred pinions clang,Heaven-bells rejoicing rang and rang,Heaven-air was thrilled with subtle scents,Worlds spun upon their rushing cars:He mounted shrieking: ‘Give me light.’Still light was poured on him, more light;Angels, Archangels […]

Eyes by May Ziadeh
(complete July 5, 2022) I came across this poem in Italian I’d originally found in Spanish as an excerpt. The poem “Eyes” (or “Occhi”) was written by May Ziadeh (in Italian or Spanish) most likely in the 1900s before 1941 (author b. 1886). May also wrote and published in French, Arabic, English, and German, and […]

“Love Exists” by Amy Lee (Guy Sigsworth Remix) Began with Italian Lyrics
Since I’d first heard Amy Lee (well-known as the lead singer of Evanescence), I always hoped she would someday do a solo album because I’d loved her voice and enjoyed it much more than the band’s music personally at the time, and then many years later I‘d found she had done a solo album with […]

A Dream from This…
I begin my dream I will hope to fall into, with the scent of the beach soothing me, surprising, such sweet suntan lotion warmed by the sun by my hands, in a book I’d found, softcover… and step into this photo I took tonight, the simplicity of night, white flowers, like jasmine flowers, the evening […]
