Trigger you Awake
Trigger you awake
Knee deep in dreams
The sheep are sleeping with you
Wrapped in a warm cocoon
I’m dreaming your dream
Jumping off a skyscraper
Saving a damsel in distress
Can’t kill you in your sleep
You’re floating and drifting in space
Bringing down the house at The Beacon Theater
You’re on my favorite show
You and Walter White are Breaking Bad
Watching the kids fly like birds
Time is suspended dreams are never ending
All the sudden the covers...
Knee deep in dreams
The sheep are sleeping with you
Wrapped in a warm cocoon
I’m dreaming your dream
Jumping off a skyscraper
Saving a damsel in distress
Can’t kill you in your sleep
You’re floating and drifting in space
Bringing down the house at The Beacon Theater
You’re on my favorite show
You and Walter White are Breaking Bad
Watching the kids fly like birds
Time is suspended dreams are never ending
All the sudden the covers...

Trance Illuminated
I found suffering
from their sin
buried in pain
afforded by kin
carved into the past
future fails to begin
Vaguely asleep
barren dreaming
assuredly alive
but not gleaming
brutal existence
lacking meaning
Eyes closed tightly
yet unrested
any drifting
the mind contested
all this slumber
quite uninvested
Nonetheless prone
in sombre snooze
ignoring all sparks
meant to be cues
frozen lullabies
do not amuse
…
The past and present
now...

The Gift of the Night
The skin sees the shape of heat,
fans only make the charcoal glow,
the metal gate is like the sole
of an iron, I put ice cubes
on the bed the dogs lie on.
As I sleep, the night exhales,
cools the water in the plumbing.
Upon waking, I splash my face,
and it is a bristling comfort.
I shut my eyes and treat myself
to what is like a morning prayer.
It is warm after a while though,
I exhaust what the night provides
in seconds,...

An Erotic Pre-Dream
It's 4:39 in the morning
I'm dreaming of sleep
I'm warm, and comfortable
I have tea, and a hot water bottle
And a sex toy
This is my sleeping pill
The soft hum
And interesting vibrations
Lure me to another place
And an in, and out of body experience
As ripples of pleasure
Seduce me
Once satiated
I lie back content
Then finally sleep

Sacred Hunts and Wretched Shapes
In shadows cast by spectral light
Where angles twist and curl to spite
Creatures hunt through planes unseen
In realms where order’s lost its sheen
Twisted arches, fractal planes
Whisper secrets, birth new chains
With eyes that gleam like shattered night
They stalk the edges of pure fright
The ground beneath, a liquid thought
Steps echo softly, sanity caught
In the dance of the grotesque shapes
Where time itself warps and escapes
A howl bursts forth – a soundless scream
Resonating with a haunting dream ...
Where angles twist and curl to spite
Creatures hunt through planes unseen
In realms where order’s lost its sheen
Twisted arches, fractal planes
Whisper secrets, birth new chains
With eyes that gleam like shattered night
They stalk the edges of pure fright
The ground beneath, a liquid thought
Steps echo softly, sanity caught
In the dance of the grotesque shapes
Where time itself warps and escapes
A howl bursts forth – a soundless scream
Resonating with a haunting dream ...

One More Night
Alright, so I wake up, feeling like toast,
Sleep inertia’s got me—yeah, I’m a ghost.
Deep sleep yanked me from some weird dream,
Now I’m stumbling around like a broken machine.
My sleep schedule? Yeah, that’s a riot—
Body’s rhythm? It’s on a permanent diet.
Could I stick to a plan? In theory, yes.
But consistency and I are an absolute mess.
What keeps me up? Oh, let me count the ways—
I’m writing again, middle of the haze.
Then I check on the girls, ‘cause, well, I care,
Even though they're fast asleep, peaceful over there. ...

sorry I’m late but the
alarm clock
didn’t go off
I mean it’s not made
of cheese
it just smelled a little iffy
having no ringing
in my head
I simply chose to stay
in bed

etcetera
Lost in dreams of yesterday's whispers
escaping into nature's fragrant beans
among trees, memories of ghosts
and calliopes of falling leaves
through the eye of an hourglass
drifting, white as snow of omens
on a Ouija planchette... etcetera
