9 Graffiti'd: One Night Impression

Photo by Chris Galford
(cropped from original below)
she snuck in
under cover of night
shaking my world
like a spray can
her fingertips exerting
just the right
amount of pressure
splashing brilliant colors
across the wall I built
then she disappeared
her mark soaking into me
leaving an imprint
on my heart

upon visiting One Stop Poetry's One Shoot Sunday [graffiti'd] today, i couldn't help but ask myself...


was it a sign that my latest train of thoughts while in hiding was about dreams.  (my first fixation was on laughs.)  anyway...i guess it was a sign 'cause the words just flew forth...granted they had nothing to do with dreams...although i'd like to think she gave him a little something to dream about...


so why the resent fixation on dreams...not sure i really know.  as i mentioned in my last post i'm looking to rediscover my creative-self...not that it is AWOL...or broken...or marred in anyway shape or form...just (as a my last poem before going into my self-imposed exile puts it) out of sync...in more ways than one.  so i'm working on finding a happy place...thus laughs and dreams...
