It's getting late, I can't sleep, and none of the countless books on my shelves seem to suit the moment. Anyone got some creative writing they can share? Insert your creative works here...help keep an insomniac awake...I'll start with some tripe I wrote years ago...

Awakenings

she lay next to him
the one that she loved
sun shining through the blinds
hangover headache thumping wildly
sweaty sheets and tossed pillows
twisted limbs from a night of passion
feeling complete, yet spent
cigarette butts strewn in the ashtray
garbage pail filled with unspeakables
she opens her eyes to see her lover
how he moved her, made her cry with delight
she rolled on her side and stroked his chest
wanting to feel the heat reborn
she kissed his cheek lightly
and then asked herself quietly...

"how long has he been dead?"

And nobody responded :( Here is one; it's pretty lame.

With all grace and
Ease of movement, loose
Joints, tendons,
Sinewy muscle,
Salty beads and salt to tongue
Feeling freedom to sour high
Yet with your feet on the ground,
Eagle wings pushing you higher still
Run on.

Carpe Diem!
