My Bones
"Sleep" hits me
deep in my core
brings me chills
and moves me
makes me tear
up surrender to
their poetic vibe
carried by their
lyrics & voices
i feel the ache
i need to sleep
it's been a week
afraid of what's
down there of
the hurt inside
and i can't hide
i need serenity
some quietness
the anxiety rises
i feel the hits in the
silence of my soul &
the marrow of my bones
deep in my core
brings me chills
and moves me
makes me tear
up surrender to
their poetic vibe
carried by their
lyrics & voices
i feel the ache
i need to sleep
it's been a week
afraid of what's
down there of
the hurt inside
and i can't hide
i need serenity
some quietness
the anxiety rises
i feel the hits in the
silence of my soul &
the marrow of my bones

Yesterday's Dream
I knew him once upon a dream.
A dream like you have never seen.
And so have I.
But it seemed peaceful,with a light blue sky.
I saw a girl in that dream.
She was doubtful of all she's ever been.
She says,my pain I don't want you to carry.
I don't want you to worry,I want you to be merry.
The way she spoke in this vivid dream.
Like there is more to her than others have seen.
She says,but what if you don't like me?
What if you dislike the real me?
What if you don't like my flaws?
That stand out...
A dream like you have never seen.
And so have I.
But it seemed peaceful,with a light blue sky.
I saw a girl in that dream.
She was doubtful of all she's ever been.
She says,my pain I don't want you to carry.
I don't want you to worry,I want you to be merry.
The way she spoke in this vivid dream.
Like there is more to her than others have seen.
She says,but what if you don't like me?
What if you dislike the real me?
What if you don't like my flaws?
That stand out...

The Unremembered Dream
As I open my eyes, the tide of the soul
pulls back my dream, slithering into oblivion.
I struggle to remember from deep within.
Half faces, fractured voices and shadowed symbols.
Further back the tide pulls.
The theatre of slumber has a distant thunder.
Memory of the dream is just a blunder.
Morning's reality is chasing me down.
As my thoughts plunge into that inner ocean.
Sleep clutches her secret potion.
Until black night returns,
To once again seize my soul.
pulls back my dream, slithering into oblivion.
I struggle to remember from deep within.
Half faces, fractured voices and shadowed symbols.
Further back the tide pulls.
The theatre of slumber has a distant thunder.
Memory of the dream is just a blunder.
Morning's reality is chasing me down.
As my thoughts plunge into that inner ocean.
Sleep clutches her secret potion.
Until black night returns,
To once again seize my soul.

blanket
blanket,
lay closer
to me,
hold me,
protect me
from
the barking
cold
as if
someone
would protect
a child
from a
savage dog
that would
choose
to do
some
discomfort
or harm.

Sleep(less)
There’s a perfect dissonance in the chords,
Without words,
Off rhythm and off tempo…
It’s going to be a sleepless night.
And yet in what seems like a dream,
I hear voices amidst harmonies,
Mixing and interweaving through my head as I lay in bed thinking about the loneliest hours.
I have no view of the moon through my window,
But I’m absorbed by the sounds of the dark,
Waiting for the restful slumber,
My soul is lost in the specifics of nothing,
But I hear the chords again,
A slight chorus and then
Trailing off...

Don't You Want To Stay For One More?
Roxann finally opened her eyes.
She saw Jon getting ready to leave.
Roxann sat up totally naked.
She saw Jon getting ready to leave.
Roxann sat up totally naked.

Inside The Examination Room Of An Extraterrestrial Spaceship
Mark opened both his eyes.
He found himself inside an examination room.
He turned his head slightly.
He saw his wife Maria.
She was also naked on a table.
He tried calling to her.
He's unable to do so.
Then, some grey alien beings walked in.
They touched Maria all over.
That was before something happened.
That something was Amanda walking towards Mark.
She's about to hump him.
That was before the alarm clock sounded.
Mark and Maria woke in their bedroom.
He found himself inside an examination room.
He turned his head slightly.
He saw his wife Maria.
She was also naked on a table.
He tried calling to her.
He's unable to do so.
Then, some grey alien beings walked in.
They touched Maria all over.
That was before something happened.
That something was Amanda walking towards Mark.
She's about to hump him.
That was before the alarm clock sounded.
Mark and Maria woke in their bedroom.

Writing a Poem on an Ambien Cloud
Thought I'd write a poem
On a wave of Ambien foam
On a wave, right now, coherent
And untrustworthy
Unstable
Like answering
my Drunk Mother's call,
something I would never do
When my brains is functionally queued
or writing texts
of loving gestures
to a man
that I have no care for
Maybe I love him
But he smells like cigarettes
and failure
Slide my phone under my bed
because I'll write words I'll dread
in the morning.
Tho I sleep on a pillow of air
My thoughts...
On a wave of Ambien foam
On a wave, right now, coherent
And untrustworthy
Unstable
Like answering
my Drunk Mother's call,
something I would never do
When my brains is functionally queued
or writing texts
of loving gestures
to a man
that I have no care for
Maybe I love him
But he smells like cigarettes
and failure
Slide my phone under my bed
because I'll write words I'll dread
in the morning.
Tho I sleep on a pillow of air
My thoughts...

ode to insomnia
oh merciless enchantress of darkest hours
siren of endless thoughts
mistress of my torment
sweet devourer of sleep
how violently you return to me
night after night
you claim me for yourself
your fingertips leavin burnin trails
along my skin
we tangle in sheets of unrest
limbs entwined til dawn
remember how I begged for mercy
drownin our love in bottles of amber
three years free from those liquid chains
and still I bend to your touch
you unravel me
each caress ignitin thought
where whispers turn to savage...
siren of endless thoughts
mistress of my torment
sweet devourer of sleep
how violently you return to me
night after night
you claim me for yourself
your fingertips leavin burnin trails
along my skin
we tangle in sheets of unrest
limbs entwined til dawn
remember how I begged for mercy
drownin our love in bottles of amber
three years free from those liquid chains
and still I bend to your touch
you unravel me
each caress ignitin thought
where whispers turn to savage...

Be Set Free
"Be Set Free"
The wonders that thrive inside my mind
Anyone doubting me, I will leave behind
Come along I promise you an adventure
You have no pain measures of pleasure
Every meal includes macaroni & cheese
Ending war we all deserve to live in peace
Paradise in everyone's own shape & form
News from the headlines love your unicorn
There's a place where we can do anything
Together we restore balance of yang & ying
From now on children are safe in their beds
Board candyland express salads killed...
The wonders that thrive inside my mind
Anyone doubting me, I will leave behind
Come along I promise you an adventure
You have no pain measures of pleasure
Every meal includes macaroni & cheese
Ending war we all deserve to live in peace
Paradise in everyone's own shape & form
News from the headlines love your unicorn
There's a place where we can do anything
Together we restore balance of yang & ying
From now on children are safe in their beds

ode to a dream
I had a dream.
Not of grandeur or poverty.
Power or flight.
Race nor riot.
A dream of waking.
endlessly waking.
Sometimes sitting up in bed…
Then just waking.
Am I still there?
I may never know.
Or soon be there.
Not of grandeur or poverty.
Power or flight.
Race nor riot.
A dream of waking.
endlessly waking.
Sometimes sitting up in bed…
Then just waking.
Am I still there?
I may never know.
Or soon be there.

Troubled minds don't sleep
Oh precious sleep
Why have you deserted me?
Where have you gone?
Who have you wrapped your bliss around tonight?
I fell for your charm again
Asleep before the tenth sheep was counted
What a joy those few minutes
Of unconsciousness were.
You said you'd stay the night
But you snuck out when I dozed
I said I loved you , wasn't that enough?
Or too much?
Why have you deserted me?
Where have you gone?
Who have you wrapped your bliss around tonight?
I fell for your charm again
Asleep before the tenth sheep was counted
What a joy those few minutes
Of unconsciousness were.
You said you'd stay the night
But you snuck out when I dozed
I said I loved you , wasn't that enough?
Or too much?
