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. ...

Death
In the womb
of death
I shall slumber
like a baby,
surrounded by an amniotic
ocean of serenity.
Learn, grow, develop
in my waking,
and be nourished through
the umbilical cord
connected to the spiritual realm
until
I'm ready for rebirth
Ready to experience
heaven 'n' hell
again...

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

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

i slept
i slept
more than
slumber
needed
to be,
and in
those
moments
i dreamed
and in
those times
i had
no fears,
i was
relatively
content
with myself,
but what
will i be
tomorrow?

My Twilights Dream
Leaving window scene,
I slip into my twilights dream.
There my lifes journey begins, unraveling adventures at every bend.
Opening a rip in time,
my travels ascend at a cosmic frame.
Coursing throughout a parallel space, at a constant pace.
Entering my fantasy away from reality, seven nights a week, wrapped in a warm bed of humanity.
Mindful eyes stretch out to the universe, with creative thought to envision a lot.
Countless worlds I plot, Earth to Mars, the Sun and beyond.
Stars to supernovas, ....vast Galaxies and...

Tranquil Convictions
I know you try
Don't you cry
We'll be alright
If you do
Know it's true
That, it's not a crime
We'll be fine
Be sublime
Let it all rest
Tucked and snuggled
Loved and nuzzled
Wrapped and nestled
Warmth be laid
Upon your head
Dream be spread
We'll be fine
Sleep now mind
Be forevermore divine
Don't you cry
We'll be alright
If you do
Know it's true
That, it's not a crime
We'll be fine
Be sublime
Let it all rest
Tucked and snuggled
Loved and nuzzled
Wrapped and nestled
Warmth be laid
Upon your head
Dream be spread
We'll be fine
Sleep now mind
Be forevermore divine

grounded and bound
.. take your body home
and sing to him
until he falls asleep on your lap
sing him a samba
sing him a tango
sing him a fado
until he wakes up
and asks you to take him away
and stop singing...
and sing to him
until he falls asleep on your lap
sing him a samba
sing him a tango
sing him a fado
until he wakes up
and asks you to take him away

Scholarly Things
The darkness suffocates
as we dream of scholarly
things. Slumbering visions
of mayhem and madness,
a delicacy only the devils
can bring.
Oh to feel the beautiful
chaos violently displaying
behind these eyes,
sweating and screaming
in the depths of midnight ,
again betrayed by restful
lies.

I'm So Tired
Oh baby well I want your love

after work it's such a hard hard day,
I come home and I hear you say
Oh baby (3x)
Oh baby I want you to love me
When I had such a heartache today
and everyday well it's just the same
work and slave just to earn my keep,
make a man want to starve and weep

final consequence
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor
things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able
to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”—Romans 8:38, 39
i won the jostle over
sleep this morning,
a night-long fight that ended
with the dawning.
discordant dreams ripped through my
equilibrium,
ere buoyant hopes bequeathed me
true asylum.

Drowning Out
I fall asleep to the noise of a fan
every night
always
it helps quiet
loud thoughts
I don't want to hear
What I really need
Is a bedroom
with an open window
right next to
Niagara Falls
every night
