like an avalanche
the last
outlines
of the
snow peaks
would soon
have to
wait
while the
lazy dark
hung motionless
in my
dying vision,
the last
breath
near sleep
like an
avalanche
is all
the motion
i remember,
the night
crashing
over me
completely.

Not Alone
Wishing not
to drowse in sleep
tomorrow comes far too soon
lying down
awake in thought
gazing at the waxing moon
ponderous
question now
what the future holds for me
reflecting
foregoing rest
saying prayers that I may see
eyes weighty
begin to drift
to a place where I can dream
not alone
in the darkness
more content than I may seem
to drowse in sleep
tomorrow comes far too soon
lying down
awake in thought
gazing at the waxing moon
ponderous
question now
what the future holds for me
reflecting
foregoing rest
saying prayers that I may see
eyes weighty
begin to drift
to a place where I can dream
not alone
in the darkness
more content than I may seem

Loop
Sometimes I think
I already forgot your name
then I hear the rustle of leaves
and that wind so jealous
pulling your hair
and reminding me of your voice
everything in the stones spells your name
everything in the fire supposes your eyes
water boils and air evaporates
just to make me remember
that I can't forget you
I turn to the side and try to ignore the light
ineffective attempt to lull my sleep
to dissolve me into an eternal dream
lullabies that I never sang
that I never heard from you
I want...

Olive Trees, Lunar Eclipse, Cowardice
Olive Trees, Lunar Eclipse, Uselessness.
They say 'Seek out higher ground before sunset,
let the eye scan west as the Sun is skipped
over our skyline, into the unending abyss.'
Let it envelope you, in the cold, seven fifty five,
while someone else's seven fifty five consists
of bombs and starvation and grief and bloodshed.
We are inconsequential, we are entitled,
nothing like keys awaiting their ancestral home.
Our dalliance with life is trivial,

Delusional
I saw another woman in my dreams the other night.
Her pain soaks through my pillow
In phantom tears I cannot feel.
If this is how the tide must turn, set me free.
The paranoia grows tiresome.

There’s a Dog snoring (NaPoWriMo 3)
There’s a Dog snoring in my room.
Well,
the room for me as a guest.
The fold-out bed
goes where she is sleeping
so I’ll let her snore some more
And move her when she wakes up.
There’s a Dog snoring in the room.
Well,
Snoring and snorting
in the same tone
as my Grandma used to make.
There’s a Dog snoring in this room.
And I’m using the time
to write a poem
As it would be cruel to wake her,
And anyway,
I get the giggles listening to snoring.
Something about hearing sleep enjoyed ...

A Lullaby for Inner Demons
sleep little demons
sleep
lay your mischief down and rest
save your anger for tomorrow
slumber little imps
slumber
people can be so unkind
the world revolving around their need
dream little devils
dream
why do we worship so much greed
save your mayhem tomorrow
doze my gremlins
doze
we can burn the world when you wake
warming our toes on society's blaze
rest little imps
rest
blowing up Wall Street sounds so sweet
and the howling of corporate greed
sleep my monsters
sleep

bad dreams
stalked,
those tremors
prepared
the nights
through
sleep,
bad dreams
lay thick
bare pinnacle
shallow
breathing,
shaking in
the thin
air.

Plum Purple Night
My Florida sequins sun
Deliriously sparkles
Like a disco globe
Reflecting heat
Splitting dreams into
Relentless mirages
Of 17 beaches
Wearing waves
Of fallen lavender
Sowing black red
Drifting seeds
In the fertile blue
Raining upside down
Draining Tampa Bay
Flooding the sky
With lullabies of incense
Warm and waiting
For a Plum Purple Night
Of 17 chances
To medicate the stars
With welcomed fragrance
Curing their insomnia
Deliriously sparkles
Like a disco globe
Reflecting heat
Splitting dreams into
Relentless mirages
Of 17 beaches
Wearing waves
Of fallen lavender
Sowing black red
Drifting seeds
In the fertile blue
Raining upside down
Draining Tampa Bay
Flooding the sky
With lullabies of incense
Warm and waiting
For a Plum Purple Night
Of 17 chances
To medicate the stars
With welcomed fragrance
Curing their insomnia

he always kept his head
he always wore a trilby and
a raincoat whatever the weather

that morning he kept his trilby and
his raincoat on in bed ..

Dream Waves
Little water drops
Drip from the faucet
Tapping on the metal below
A sound like clockwork
Never off rhythm
My eyes closed
Other senses sensitive
Soft pillow
Entranced by the water drops
Time slows down
Become entwined in a dream
Hypnosis
Brain dance waterfalls
Twin hydrogen shades
Visible flow of oxygen
Silk laced waves collide
The moon smiles down
Barely awake eyes greet the blaring morning sun
Groggy motions wrestling gravity
A quick moment to try and remember
Something...
Drip from the faucet

Brain dance waterfalls

One Dream With A Friend In It
Michael opened
his eyes and
saw himself to
be naked until a
door opened and allowed
a nude Chloe to move
closer before the alarm clock rang.
