She sleeps beautifully
She sleeps beautifully.
Quietly from her lips,
A lilac breeze:
Humble as the sea-sound
within the forest trees;
Her breasts softly fall and rise:
Exquisite serenity.
And while the dawn awaits her eyes,
She sleeps beautifully.
Quietly from her lips,
A lilac breeze:
Humble as the sea-sound
within the forest trees;
Her breasts softly fall and rise:
Exquisite serenity.
And while the dawn awaits her eyes,
She sleeps beautifully.

The sum of things.
Some kind of crazy.
Twisting, then bursting.
Reaching outskirts.
Bleeding wildly.
Clenching fists defiantly.
Calling.
Then crawling.
Dire need.
The soul crying out.
Longing for Eden.
Some kind of lazy.
Thinking like this.
Acting like that.
Blistering fingers.
Wearing tissue down.
Beyond bone.
Deep in marrow.
Then sleep.
Oh sleep and sleep.
Forget, forget....dont keep.
Some kind of illusion.
Hell bent.
Broken glass.
Cutting edges.
To cull...
Twisting, then bursting.
Reaching outskirts.
Bleeding wildly.
Clenching fists defiantly.
Calling.
Then crawling.
Dire need.
The soul crying out.
Longing for Eden.
Some kind of lazy.
Thinking like this.
Acting like that.
Blistering fingers.
Wearing tissue down.
Beyond bone.
Deep in marrow.
Then sleep.
Oh sleep and sleep.
Forget, forget....dont keep.
Some kind of illusion.
Hell bent.
Broken glass.
Cutting edges.
To cull...

Shadow People
They lurk & loiter in periphery,
these shadow people flit & flutter dim,
with many grounds one can or cannot see,
and warn of dangers to my life & limb.
Sleep deprivation listed as a cause,
whilst I see spirits from another world,
I theorise that they've escaped death's claws
and now these ghosts roam free with wings unfurled.
Dull apparitions of a wasted past
they portend doom more than an astral sign,
they came at night but then by day at last.
Am I mistaken as to their design?
These Voodoo souls...

INTERRUPTED FLOW OF THE LOWEST DREAMING STONE (Thurs., Aug. 12th, 2021, 8:42am, Palm Springs, California)
quietly
slipped away
again
adrift
in dreamlands
mysteriously morphing
boundless
fluid realms
until i
suddenly became
aware
id been
vaporously dispensed
into
the lingering
sapphire mists
here in
the subliminal
inner dimensional
world
of three
hot noggins
not
while simultaneously
all caught
up
in yet
another parallel
inner worlds
similar
lingering ...

Led-awake-mare
Loathsome eyes of a night hag are staring in the paralysis of my sleep
Evoking my bespoke nightmares, in disguise it'll idle awhile then creep
Disturbing and coercing demons in its stealthy sleight of haunting veils
As it leaves me fearing the cold unseen touch, of its fingers razor nails
With a blink of its raven eyes, it's there, darkness descends and worse
As I know its siren's silent screaming, is more than any demon's curse
Keeper of horror, stay in my paramnesia, trapped until night is morrow
End this phasm, still in my mind, for where I am, you must...
Evoking my bespoke nightmares, in disguise it'll idle awhile then creep
Disturbing and coercing demons in its stealthy sleight of haunting veils
As it leaves me fearing the cold unseen touch, of its fingers razor nails
With a blink of its raven eyes, it's there, darkness descends and worse
As I know its siren's silent screaming, is more than any demon's curse
Keeper of horror, stay in my paramnesia, trapped until night is morrow
End this phasm, still in my mind, for where I am, you must...

Am I awake still?
Once I sleep, almost rest, I hold my eyes shut
Steadfast.
My REM seems so fake.
For i'm dreaming while I wake.
The next you'll see me is left to fate,
High chances it'll be my wake.
The ceiling always looses feeling, stars are bright,
Curtains drawn, strings lost from my grip.
No longer having sight of the dying light,
The orange tinge along the street.
It takes a while for time to pass
lost feeling of fresh air and grass
lost knowledge of our ecliptics.
Steadfast.
My REM seems so fake.
For i'm dreaming while I wake.
The next you'll see me is left to fate,
High chances it'll be my wake.
The ceiling always looses feeling, stars are bright,
Curtains drawn, strings lost from my grip.
No longer having sight of the dying light,
The orange tinge along the street.
It takes a while for time to pass
lost feeling of fresh air and grass
lost knowledge of our ecliptics.

My Asylum 2
Another day in the palace of insanity,
The warden kindly greeting me with fake smiles.
I tip my hat to you dear keeper of profanity,
Tell me, what did you find this time between the files?
I found your history my majesty,
An epic chronicle of love, death and deceit.
How pleasant is it to read another travesty,
A tale full of lies, constantly on repeat?
Speak the truth and hear the answer my lord,
Take your pills and get some rest.
Hug the straitjacket until restored.
And you will no longer be possessed.
The warden kindly greeting me with fake smiles.
I tip my hat to you dear keeper of profanity,
Tell me, what did you find this time between the files?
I found your history my majesty,
An epic chronicle of love, death and deceit.
How pleasant is it to read another travesty,
A tale full of lies, constantly on repeat?
Speak the truth and hear the answer my lord,
Take your pills and get some rest.
Hug the straitjacket until restored.
And you will no longer be possessed.

Competition: "Poet and I didn't know it"
Please don’t disturb me.
My bed warm and cozy.
Tossing and turning,
Trying to get some sleep.
My pillows on one big heap.
Hiding my face under the covers,
The light creating all kinds of colors.
My bed sheets thick and comfortable.
Muffling the sounds outside my room,
Trying to block the impending doom.
“Will you come out to play?!”
A voice I didn’t want to hear today.
“Get out of bed you lazy swine!”
I don't want to; I just pressed snooze.
I want to sleep through...
My bed warm and cozy.
Tossing and turning,
Trying to get some sleep.
My pillows on one big heap.
Hiding my face under the covers,
The light creating all kinds of colors.
My bed sheets thick and comfortable.
Muffling the sounds outside my room,
Trying to block the impending doom.
“Will you come out to play?!”
A voice I didn’t want to hear today.
“Get out of bed you lazy swine!”
I don't want to; I just pressed snooze.
I want to sleep through...

Sleep
Welcoming forgetfulness
and dark abyss
regret and sin forgiven
as we travel dreams
across the heavens
our souls set free
in a world of slumber
finding in the darkness
solace of heart
and renewal of spirit
chains drop away
in the slow relaxation
and the little death of sleep
we are reborn
and dark abyss
regret and sin forgiven
as we travel dreams
across the heavens
our souls set free
in a world of slumber
finding in the darkness
solace of heart
and renewal of spirit
chains drop away
in the slow relaxation
and the little death of sleep
we are reborn

Kismet
Come and climb aboard this sidereal express
It's moving ever toward your destiny (your destiny, your)
Scaling up the path, getting closer and closer to our true home
Everything that's happening is history (it's history)
And soon you’ll awaken from your slumber
To find that we are all but ONE in number
So, come and climb aboard your destiny (your destiny, your)
Come and climb aboard your destiny (your destiny)
Let us enter into a new dimension
Show the soul a whole new plane
In time,...
It's moving ever toward your destiny (your destiny, your)
