Sleep
Sleep is but a gentle nudging
Of the brain
A peaceful journey into darkness
Life's steady refrain
A quieting of the mind
For which it's absence
Makes for a certain somberness
That can not be easily relieved

Lightning Strikes
and I fall
in[to] grace
like a head
touching pillow
simultaneously
clouds breaking
into rain
this storm too
shall pass

Women Ask Men to Scoot Over
Usually it's in bed
Reluctantly of course we move
Often we'd like to stay where we are
Men never use the word SCOOT
That's a female word all the way
I read this to her
She asks me what I'm trying to prove
I tell her I don't like the SCOOT word
How come she asks
I tell her that she's more fun close by
She's quiet for a moment
Then tells me to SCOOT
Reluctantly of course we move
Often we'd like to stay where we are
Men never use the word SCOOT
That's a female word all the way
I read this to her
She asks me what I'm trying to prove
I tell her I don't like the SCOOT word
How come she asks
I tell her that she's more fun close by
She's quiet for a moment
Then tells me to SCOOT

I SLEEP SO WELL
I sleep so well
au naturel.
If you're no prude,
it means in nude -
no negligees
nor mere PJs.
Feeling so free
in nudity,
sleeping as God
made this fair bod,
skin next to silk
warm like mum's milk,
so assuring
of deep resting.

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

Red Wine
My swirling crimson dreams,
in a glass adrift in an intoxicating kiss
the crimson coloured nectar
sipped between my lips
and poured into veins
ready and without rein
sparkles of elixir winking seductively
nips my tongue with its tartness
dances into my mouth
the seductive temptress
whispering sensuous dreams
of forgotten desires
forgotten lands and distant stars
floats into my memory
with each sip of the smooth liquid
poured endlessly from magical
bottles where dreams reside
I stand closer to...

I See Her in Dreams
I see her in dreams every night,
With heavenly angelic eyes
Covered in beauty and delight
Like the most glorious sunrise,
And I bask in this solemn rite
That only a dream can comprise.
Captivated by a bright smile,
I cannot help but fall in love,
For the splendor lasts a while
As if it’s been sent from above,
Her appearance is so tactile
It’s surely what dreams are made of.
I long to sleep just for the chance
To behold this sheer fantasy
In her attraction there’s a trance
More profound than an endless sea, ...

be fell
a dozen grappling insects
work on small kingdoms
around their earth, arranging
her morning skirts into lichens—
breathing least with darkness
as she-moths among stars;
white seeds vanished in fire-light
I tenderly slept, heard nothing
but water; remembered thoughts—
the trees, perfect branches
birds by my bed; night pockets
took me – before something dark
floated between luminous
rose and river stone—
at times, they
— all so full of doom— ...

That Loud Trumpet Sound (Snoring)
I will briefly elaborate on this medical related issue in detail, with much regard for a conversation on my Blog Live comments, which lead to a heated discussion about the throes of snoring, and is it unfair for the person who snores, significant other must adjust their lifestyle to adapt on behalf of love, a sense of commitment, or the two of you are not sure which direction to progress forward.
My blog addressed the seriousness of snoring, and if there is any help to the person who must endure that hollowed bedroom saluting throughout the night.

Cheerless
inexplicable head smog
gray brain weather on a yellow day
obligations and rushing about
just thicken the clouds
the tension
the pounding
heavy lids and opaque dust tears…
The soul whimpers for rest.
Valiant efforts ---
daffodils on the table
fresh-baked snickerdoodles
dog snuggles and
the music of peeping frogs…
All it does is help the time pass
with slightly less bleakness
until finally the clock
and the expectations
allow eyes and ears to
shut out
this discordant world
until...

dreams are fishes swimming in a cold sea
lying on the floor
of my room as
serene as a dead
fish on the beach
but there is no
ocean,
no waves,
no gulls
overhead
only the
dryness
dryness
dryness
of my
own
breathing
looking up,
i see
nothing
god has dug
a hole
in the
sky.
his
bucket is
full of clouds,
birds and sunlight
sleep for a year
and dream of:
victorian curtains
blocking out the
day,
