    Place of Slumber
    my blood shivers, quivers
    along these veins
    under my skin, it pains
    what should've been.
    a thousand halls i wander
    defeated, and into slumber
    i retire, the esquire
    took my face.
    push aside the lid,
    my body dormant, the ages i
    hid, the beast is beckoned
    and the cage is rotted,
    those eyes reflected the ominent
    image,
    my legacy is my heritage,
    to know i am the only one,
    tired daily, shakingly i crawl back in,
    pulling the lid over the sarcophigus.

    Your poems are amazing and unique. Isnt it amazing how just a few lines of words can say so much? You chose the perfect words to explain things. I can feel the heaviness of your poems. Your work is really a treat to read. Thank you for sharing them. Um, would you read some of my poems? Nobody has been looking at them, and I really want to know what people think of them.....The knew ones are really the ones that are really worth reading.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
