By The By

By liquid_emotion

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

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.
