Sleep
Sleep is but a gentle nudging
Of the brain
A peaceful journey into darkness
Life's steady refrain
A quieting of the mind
For which it's absence
Makes for a certain somberness
That can not be easily relieved
Of the brain
A peaceful journey into darkness
Life's steady refrain
A quieting of the mind
For which it's absence
Makes for a certain somberness

moon mind
even the dreams projected into one's dome, understand that the moon has always been one's home;
most my dreams seem to be more or less the same.... losing and or searching for things, common familiar places(most times), or to no where-idle in one's roam through a simulated place that's cloned....
back to "reality" forever moon mind-though gravity is the tone/tune....back to sleep one goes, hoping for an uninterrupted snooze(no dreams)....

Talk to Me
Talk to me
I am coming down
Crashing into walls
And your voice is the only sound
I want to hear—-my dear
Talk to me
I don’t know why I always go
So far away
From anything that is real
-- just to feel
Talk to me
Outer space is just a place
Between here and I don’t care
Where I can fly without the weight
Of waiting to be okay
Talk to to me
If I make it back in the morning
With northern lights inside my eyes
At least you’ll know that I was trying
To hang my star inside the skies ...
I am coming down

stevie smith and agatha christie were the two women I’d have most liked to have met on the stairs
I was half asleep and slipped and almost broke my bloody neck ..

Dream Entry: Father
My father never really took any liking to me, but that's quite frankly alright with me.
I always secretly despised him, and anyone who display a likeness to his particular characteristics.
His traits, are so specialized to him.
I find myself seeing patterns within others.
They make me sick all the same.
I hide my already formed disposition in order to fill the validation to confirm they are exactly like the dear old man.
My pops gave me a clear sign what I'm not willing to put up with or settle for.
My father and...

Dream Entry: Lured
I don't quite understand why you think it's worth the try."
As he held out his hand, the same way I did to him in many dreams before.
"I mean really? You'd think I would fall for my own tricks?"
His expression never changed, just a hint of impatience and eyes screaming of irritation.
"Trying to lure me away like before from any other prying eyes, to entrap me in your sick fantasies? How pathetic of you."
As I smiled at him, I turned on my heel towards my siblings.
I glared back at him, as his hand lowered just slightly...

Azork
Let me tell you about Azork
He's the extraterrestrial crack addict
Living inside my phone
He's secretly in love with me
Only he don't know it's no secret
His name, player, in his world
Oh, and he is
He sweet talks me, a lot
And then pretends not to know me
He also gets very jealous
And let's me know
Especially when I text about my poems about men at night
He texts words, or something like them
Similar, but not quite
The emojis?
When I see my "frequently used" and I'm wondering...
He wants all of my attention ...

STEEPING
There are things
I love so much
That yearn for touch
Of only you
One of them
Is waking
And one of them
Is sleeping
And when I’m with
Life’s other things
I’m like a tea
That’s steeping
A sweet and spicy
Mix of herbs
That holds some
Remedies
When we’re done
With the day’s work
We put ourselves
At ease
I love so much
That yearn for touch
Of only you
One of them
Is waking
And one of them
Is sleeping
And when I’m with
Life’s other things
I’m like a tea
That’s steeping
A sweet and spicy
Mix of herbs
That holds some
Remedies
When we’re done
With the day’s work
We put ourselves
At ease

tired of discussions
poems, like prose, can be deep and full of meaning or rather shallow but entertaining last night I said I want you to go now, I just need to sleep ..

Endless Hush
lying down
it's late at night
I'm slipping away again
will I wake up
while still asleep?
will I still be the same?
while in between
awake and dream
hypnagogically
disappearing
to return
happy to be free
of all the thoughts
and ideas
whirlpools spinning around
afloat, adrift
as feelings lift
in the silent sound
the quiet rush
of endless hush
as everything comes and goes
before and next
no longer vexed
within a life that glows...
it's late at night
I'm slipping away again
will I wake up
while still asleep?

while in between

of all the thoughts

whirlpools spinning around

as feelings lift

My Dream
You were like a dream
Which made me hate sleep
Now youre gone
And all i do is sleep
Just so i can live that dream
One day i will die
Then i can only dream of you
Up until that day
I just wanna sleep
Which made me hate sleep
Now youre gone
And all i do is sleep
Just so i can live that dream
One day i will die
Then i can only dream of you
Up until that day
I just wanna sleep

Highway dust
So so so hot out
Fresh iced tea with lemon
Ask the server politely if I can substitute the side salad for the bisque
Flip through my phone
Pacing in a large circle with my fingers
Like some odd carousel
The waiter refills my tea
I sample the images that come through the window
As the train clatters
I wait in the waiting room
Sweat forms
I dream of eating another man's arm
Broiled,
I feel very scared and strange ...
