WTF, Orange!
It is a small fantasy of mine to find a sheet that fits our bed;
Oh, it gives me an aching head!
It's like our heads must be shaped like a cone;
For, we live in the Twilight Zone.
We've seen Orange Mutants for many years;
Inside, we are laughing to tears.
Our location is at *The Ends of the Earth*;
But, we were destined to be here from birth.
Because we are soulmates who've long been apart;
We used to have two; now we have one heart.
We may fuss and argue and fight;
But, darkness always turns to light; we almost always make up by the end of the night.
We've met many strange people and have seen many-a-strange creature;
But, we are each other's teacher.
Talking helps us get to the end of the day;
For, we both have a lot to say.
We are two opposite magnets that attract;
We agree on many-an-opinion and fact.
Every day is filled with adventures;
Surely, it will be this way until we're old enough for dentures.
Every day is like a good or bad dream;
Because JAZCMX and I make an amazing team.
Oh, it gives me an aching head!

;o) Really enjoy this piece! The first eight lines, especially... I feel transported to some otherworldly place, yet strangely familiar. Thanks for posting your work.

Actually I appreciate sappy and dark, and that strange place that mingles both I adore. What I loved was being transported elsewhere, to what seemed to be a small planet in your brain. I like it there. Currently dealing with the loss of a best friend (choice not death) so sappy is harder to grasp at the moment--somewhat like trying to capture a bubble--it just bursts. Millions of broken hearts wandering about the planet find it hard to relate to smiles at times... never take your happiness for granted and always express it with wild abandon!

Daphnest, I have several replies to you.
I am not sure that you realize that everything I've said about Orange is real, not fictitious. That's what makes it so amusing to me.
Second, sorry that your friend took his/her life. My sister committed suicide in 2001, and my beloved kitty just died a few days ago. I know a lot about loss.
I have my husband and cats, therapy, art and poetry and beer to feel better at times and I also suffer from severe depression. And I am true to myself. I am happy when I'm happy, sad when I'm sad, and angry when I'm angry. That's why a lot of people find me difficult to get close to, besides the fact that I push and make people push my away. I am honest to myself. I was just talking about that today to a cashier I know. I have tried to be someone else before, and it made me more mentally ill. I already have enough moods without trying to add another person to all of that. I ended up even more depressed. I thought I was a genius, but I ended up hurting myself mentally. Creativity and mental illness combined can result in genius or horror!
Thanks for the advice. You seem very wise.
