one morning in january
there are buds on the trees,
I can feel ‘em; just like me the trees are beginning to awake
and rather like me it might take
a while, because, make no mistake, it’s still far too early ..
I can feel ‘em; just like me the trees are beginning to awake

Spur of the moment
Word spill
Fresh water
Grows a good garden
And I love fresh vegetables
I'm tired
That's all I got
Fresh water
Grows a good garden
And I love fresh vegetables
I'm tired
That's all I got

Dream Catcher
Why can't my dream catcher keep the nightmares at bay?
I still dream where I scream, but no one hears what I say.
I dream that I jump or get pushed off a cliff.
I'm falling fast and I can't seem to get a grip.
I dream of being cheated on in horrible ways.
I'm tired of the tricks my mind always plays.
I dream of loved ones lost like they're still alive.
I wake up hoping and die a little more inside.
Your brain knows how you feel deep in your soul.
It knows your worst fears and your biggest goals.
It knows the things you'd wish for...
I still dream where I scream, but no one hears what I say.
I dream that I jump or get pushed off a cliff.
I'm falling fast and I can't seem to get a grip.
I dream of being cheated on in horrible ways.
I'm tired of the tricks my mind always plays.
I dream of loved ones lost like they're still alive.
I wake up hoping and die a little more inside.
Your brain knows how you feel deep in your soul.
It knows your worst fears and your biggest goals.
It knows the things you'd wish for...

Winter
The room, once white,
now fading gold;
The day, once young,
is growing old.
now fading gold;
The day, once young,

A Dream Half-Remembered
Life is so far behind me.
I can not see anything.
I try to find inside my mind.
Some truth behind it all.
Storm winds creep in and find me.
So hard to stand this half-dream.
I can't remember if it's real.
These secrets it reveals.
There's no correct path backward.
I cannot see the last word.
I can't hear the reason for it all.
Going forward.
This goal of mine is absurd.
I'll only get myself hurt.
Looking through this dream.
Half-remembered.
Wake up, dead child, show your face.
This is...
I can not see anything.
I try to find inside my mind.
Some truth behind it all.
Storm winds creep in and find me.
So hard to stand this half-dream.
I can't remember if it's real.
These secrets it reveals.
There's no correct path backward.
I cannot see the last word.
I can't hear the reason for it all.
Going forward.
This goal of mine is absurd.
I'll only get myself hurt.
Looking through this dream.
Half-remembered.
Wake up, dead child, show your face.
This is...

Sleepless, Less Sleep
Last night
I couldn't sleep
I used the buzzing technique
To get forty winks
Pleasure
At leisure
Now everything
Needs recharging
Including myself
My dreams
Have
For now
Been denied
Although in other ways
I'm satisfied
Despite only one hours sleep
I still flowered
My petals are now falling
All my nectar has gone
As the morning beckons
As choirs of birdsong
Chirp at my cheap
And i still now
Need to sleep
by Jemia

Not Mermaids
Today
I was awoken
Not by
The sounds
Of silence
But by the sounds
Of sirens
And seagulls
Like a screaming choir
In a frantic
Chaotic
Harmony

The Way I Feel
I do not want your counsel and advice.
Where were you when I was enduring hunger?
You were not there when I was thirsty.
When I was having financial problems,
You did not assist me in my hour of need.
When I was in pain and mental distress,
You were not around to sympathise with me.
I needed the comforting words of a friend.
You made me feel like an outsider.
I had to sit up in bed so I could keep breathing,
But you could sleep soundly at night.
I did not see you when I was gasping for air.
I felt that I was...
Where were you when I was enduring hunger?
You were not there when I was thirsty.
When I was having financial problems,
You did not assist me in my hour of need.
When I was in pain and mental distress,
You were not around to sympathise with me.
I needed the comforting words of a friend.
You made me feel like an outsider.
I had to sit up in bed so I could keep breathing,
But you could sleep soundly at night.

Lightning Strikes
and I fall
in[to] grace
like a head
touching pillow
simultaneously
clouds breaking
into rain
this storm too
shall pass
in[to] grace
like a head
touching pillow
simultaneously
clouds breaking
into rain
this storm too
shall pass

Feels Like Forever
Fading into the subterranean dark, I feel lower than nether
Every second of the past is creeping and feels like forever
Elapsing with recycled time, I'm slowly stopping the clocks
Leaving my being imprisoned, in the keep of keyless locks
Sleep tempted me, with a subconscious promise to dream
Listlessly I drifted though, on an ebbing tide of the unseen
Insomnia was my burden, before I became time ticking by
Keeping count of my indesinent hours and pondering why
Endless oblivion's drawn, from the pit of a fathomless well
For in the dreamless...
Every second of the past is creeping and feels like forever
Elapsing with recycled time, I'm slowly stopping the clocks

Sleep tempted me, with a subconscious promise to dream
Listlessly I drifted though, on an ebbing tide of the unseen
Insomnia was my burden, before I became time ticking by
Keeping count of my indesinent hours and pondering why
Endless oblivion's drawn, from the pit of a fathomless well

Pains Of Age
Super cramp
And sciatica
Sweet dreams
Waiting to happen
Writing
Whilst writhing
Is not a happy pastime
I want to sleep
Not weep
I'm not suffering terribly
Just terribly uncomfortable
Sufficient to keep me awake
And feel the misery
But knowing
That as i age
Things won't improve
Funny
I was just on the cusp
Of sleep
The periphery of my dreams
With pains of an different ilk
Not on my derriere
Or cramping my feet
And style
Something afoot
For awhile

Goodnight October, Good Morning April
As i crawl out of my burrow bed
Into the cool chill of my room
I greet this cold
With a two-fingered salute
Accompanied by a few expletive deletives
And dress
Hurriedly
Already, my hands
And feet
Feel cold
The hot water bottle
Perhaps with a twisted humour
And irony
Burns my derriere
I grab my tea
Which is already cooling
At a rapid rate
I am tempted
To return
To my den of iniquity
My boudoir
To the snug comfort
Of my burrow bed
I envy
Those creatures
That hibernate ...
Into the cool chill of my room
I greet this cold
With a two-fingered salute
Accompanied by a few expletive deletives
And dress
Hurriedly
Already, my hands
And feet
Feel cold
The hot water bottle
Perhaps with a twisted humour
And irony
Burns my derriere
I grab my tea
Which is already cooling
At a rapid rate
I am tempted
To return
To my den of iniquity
My boudoir
To the snug comfort
Of my burrow bed
I envy
Those creatures
That hibernate ...
