Another Dream (Poem), and Update

Green eyes, they flash;

Time flies, turns to ash.

I remember you,

From last night, I do.

I saw your smile,

That's your right, and not vile.

But I wish that I was blind,

Just so I could keep my mind.

For your presence drives me crazy,

When my memory is so hazy.

But when I am awake

You're here; my head shakes.

Your green eyes, their beautiful shape,

My mind tries; I cannot escape.

Green eyes, they flash;

Time flies, turns to ash.

I remember you,

From last night, I do.

But from a dream I saw

You, the girl, my graceful flaw.

     Now, for those who have been reading my work for a while, I thank you, but I am sure you can understand this poem more than anyone else. As a quick explanation, I shall refer to a poem of mine that I commonly call 'Living Nightmares', I believe. "By day, a haunted man I wander/ By night, twisted dreams and ideas I ponder." The poem itself is about the dreams I suffered about one specific woman in my life. This is why the poem above is titled "Another Dream" for it is another dream, but atlas, about another woman, which I am inclined to take pleasure in. As you could most likely tell, but I do not wish to allow my mind to suffer from such a condition again, and thus wrote this poem almost as a way to free myself of it. Now there are other things I must address.

     First of all, as of yesterday I am a winner of the August run of Camp NaNoWriMo (a link to the website will be included at the bottom). In this run, I wrote about Innocenzio Dell'Aera from the point of view of the Great Raven, also known as death by those who are unfamiliar with my poem. The first draft of the novel was finished with the end of Camp NaNoWriMo, and is titled "The Knife In Admeta's Back". It was initially planned to be a traditional mystery novel, but atlas, I fear I deviated from the norm. Perhaps one day you will have the chance to read it. But I must be off for now, for there is work to be done. Until next time,
