Drop...Drip...Drape...Along My Dreamscape
it's been a long week.
the mind is jagged...the body is exhausted
it's 2 a.m...i'm held hostage
ransomed by a mutinous dick ...fully hard
got me drifting in and out of a lucid....lustful state of being
a throbbing compass pointing due you
needing to do you...inching forward in vacant air
as a vagrant..roaming beneath the sheets
in search of southern comfort...humid hospitality
like blackened tea... served to my liking
oozing seduction down on me..so nice and warm and easy
easing me into a cavern of enchanting darkness

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

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

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

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...
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...

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

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 ...

Under My Blanket
There, under my blanket,
I drew stars, gleaming in the dark,
Easing my breath
And caressing my hair.
A world of my own
Molded amidst chaos,
Where I could shut it all off.
I felt safe in the soft embrace,
The smoothness against my skin
Lulling me to sleep,
Held warmly away from the cold's grasp,
So I could finally close my eyes.
There, under my blanket.
I drew stars, gleaming in the dark,
Easing my breath
And caressing my hair.
A world of my own
Molded amidst chaos,
Where I could shut it all off.
I felt safe in the soft embrace,
The smoothness against my skin
Lulling me to sleep,
Held warmly away from the cold's grasp,
So I could finally close my eyes.
There, under my blanket.

S'katty brain thought train derailed platform 8
Woke up this morning
from the strangest dream
I was a carpenter redesigned the wheel
Spun dharma counterclockwise
Just to see how it would feel
Like non existent foot prints
Reappeared in the sand
An endless wellspring of emotion
burst forth
Naga
Deva
Hungery ghosts
All pointing to the waning moon
from the strangest dream
I was a carpenter redesigned the wheel
Spun dharma counterclockwise
Just to see how it would feel
Like non existent foot prints
Reappeared in the sand
An endless wellspring of emotion
burst forth
Naga
Deva
Hungery ghosts
All pointing to the waning moon

Dreams And Shadows
Fragments chase each other as reality and fiction blur and time loses meaning
Yesterday becomes confused with the more distant past, and the dead live and eat and talk.
Faces alter, although voices remain true.
In a dream, two people can become one.
Dreams. A hidden furnace. Or a peaceful respite.
Important dreams. Less important ones.
Each night, everyone dreams, but only some people remember the dreams.
Yesterday becomes confused with the more distant past, and the dead live and eat and talk.
Faces alter, although voices remain true.

for the love of sleep
The drugs merge in my system
take me under
and for a while
I can sleep
four hours
not enough
never enough
And this exhaustion
has me wondering
if I can shake the tree
of unmentionables
to see how long it takes
to get me some Special K
but I'm already straddling the edge
between what's legal
and what's not
and I'm not desperate enough
...yet
And I wonder
what's so wrong with me
that I'm losing time
to daylight dreaming ...
take me under
