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?

Another Dream
The shadows are true to the sun.
Across the lawn they sway long.
Dancing in the cold wind white fluffy clouds push across the sky.
The burning bushes along the fence line shiver in the wind.
They have no fire in their branches, for their branches are bare.
I thought I heard Moses say something but it was just the house
expanding and contracting in the cold howl of the winter winds.
I am fading into wonderland leaving the present behind.
My dreams take me in and transport me to another existence.
It’s a night bursting with heightened anxiety.
I...

Soundwaves
Haunted dreams and and daydreams
And echoes of the past
The sound was just a shadow
The last
Gone as the sun went down
Blown over
With the tides
The sea now settled
Waves all crashed
And echoes of the past
The sound was just a shadow
The last
Gone as the sun went down
Blown over
With the tides
The sea now settled
Waves all crashed

Until We Fall Asleep
driving up Mountain Highway
on a sunny afternoon
flowing along with the traffic
listening to a tune
bluetoothed to car audio
from my Samsung phone
melodies recorded
late at night at home -
not a cloud in the sky
not a wisp nor a haze
everything is under a blue
dome...with the Sun's rays
stimulating everything
touched through endless space
by the electricity
powering all we face -
driving up Mountain Highway
on a sunny afternoon
contemplating the oneness
of Sun, the Earth and...

Quiet Door
I lay alone, tired.
I close my eyes,
but still see
staring into darkness
with closed eyes.
I see the quiet door,
and it calls me.
All I need...
Do I walk?
Walk towards quiet,
through the darkness of my mind,
and find peace
until the morning
or until forevermore.
I close my eyes,
but still see
staring into darkness
with closed eyes.
I see the quiet door,
and it calls me.
All I need...
Do I walk?
Walk towards quiet,
through the darkness of my mind,
and find peace
until the morning
or until forevermore.

Shooting Zzzzzzzzz
All our senses vanish
when descending into sleep
and we follow oh so blindly
without a bloody peep.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
In sleep we are no more.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
We can't and we don't exist without senses
without our sense of self
we're nothing but
a plaything of the gods
or a carcass for the night vultures.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
when descending into sleep
and we follow oh so blindly
without a bloody peep.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
In sleep we are no more.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
We can't and we don't exist without senses
without our sense of self
we're nothing but
a plaything of the gods
or a carcass for the night vultures.

Beautiful Nightmare
Terrible Dreams,
as you fall asleep,
Slumber is waiting,
as you go in deep.
A good night's rest
is what you shall seek,
No noise or sounds,
Not even a peep.
So, You close your eyes,
As you close them tight,
To catch some zzz's all
through the darkened night.
A Beautiful Nightmare
is what you see,
It so very vivid it's
hard not to Believe.
What's before you,
it seems so real,
It is so miraculous
You can't help how you Feel.
A Dream that is Delighting, and ...
as you fall asleep,
Slumber is waiting,
as you go in deep.
A good night's rest
is what you shall seek,
No noise or sounds,
Not even a peep.
So, You close your eyes,
As you close them tight,
To catch some zzz's all
through the darkened night.
A Beautiful Nightmare
is what you see,
It so very vivid it's
hard not to Believe.
What's before you,

It is so miraculous

Can't Get Back To Sleep
Wide awake at 5 am
and slightly frustrated
on this cherished Saturday
This is the day I can sleep in,
but this brain won't let me
Thinking about things I've put off
and how I'm being screwed over by someone
Not a healthy start,
I agree.
And then there is Christmas.
Working in retail,
it takes on a whole new dimension
those songs relentless since November
almost encouraging a rebellious urge
to resist it as long as possible
It will be another gamble
to see if that thoughtfulness ...
