Go back
When I can't sleep.

I like to softly whisper well written works of my favorite poets.



A Dream Within A Dream
~ Edgar Allan Poe


Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

That's Poe? It's nice. I don't think anything'll help me get back to sleep, though.😳

It is Poe yes 🙂
I love the way his words just roll off my lips when I speak them out loud.


Don't you have those nights of tossing and turning 🙁

Why can't you just masturbate like normal people do?

I've had a lot of those lately. 😳 Being sick isn't helping, though. On the plus side, school's out so I can take naps in theory.

My best painting would pale in comparison with the average six-year-old's. 😛

There's always a story behind everything.

Hmm. Hard to explain in a suitably vague way.

why the need to be vague?
