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,

Midnight Daydream
Once again
it's late at night
and I'm wide awake
Maybe I should have a daydream
that I'm sleeping.
it's late at night
and I'm wide awake
Maybe I should have a daydream
that I'm sleeping.

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

Insomnia
She walked in the pitch black of the night as when she laid down her mind would start to drive her to the edge of her 4ft 6 bed . She is 5ft 8 so she thought no more of this shenanigans and pulled on her warm coat and bobble hat over her pjs and shoved her fur lined boots on to stomp in the streets to tire her brain . Wide awake, walking with a rhythm of a quick march, pounding feet wrestling with her mind . She thought if she picked up the pace her mind may fall behind to second and maybe third place and she could finally climb back into bed . The winner and instead of celebrating with a...

Hate All the Chores
I like her
She likes me
Life is full of needs
that don't allow you to proceed.
A smart person knows they aren't important,
so why is free time shortened?
Distractions, procrastination and such.
Over scheduled, complexity, debt, keeping up,
it is all too much.
Finally it is bedtime,
alone together at last but so weary.
Say goodnights, love you and all,
but love-making isn't even a query.
Spooning, soon fast asleep.
I dream of her and she of me.

he always kept his head
he always wore a trilby and
a raincoat whatever the weather
was appalling
that morning he kept his trilby and
his raincoat on in bed ..

Reality and Gratitude
Reality and Gratitude
Below the window
of the world
await the myriad
delusions
of every fallen star.
Their days
over run
with opacity
and their nights
under attended
with the dreams
of those
who have yet
to awaken,
Each foreign sun
becomes a shadow kneeling
at the foot
of keepsakes stolen
from memory.
Forgetfulness
then
becomes the twilight
of emotional connection,
the unkissed sense
that something

Somnolence
Gradually, concentration fails.
I fight it and pretend to be alert,
but when the words circle before my eyes—
the same sentence several times,
inexplicably making no sense—
I know I'm falling.
Surrounding sounds fade
and blend with those in my head.
Scenery changes:
I'm in my childhood home
but it somehow seems wrong.
I'm younger here,
but somehow retain my life experience.
My grandparents are alive
and I'm confused by the presence
of friends that I thought I'd met more recently.
Time flies as scenes unfold before...

Booty Hug
I love my girl's hips
With my fingers and lips
Wrap my arms round her waist
With my chest near that "place"
Maybe later I'll taste
For now,
just share her space
Her thighs fill my hands
Heat rises
up towards my face
With my fingers and lips
Wrap my arms round her waist
With my chest near that "place"
Maybe later I'll taste
For now,
just share her space
Her thighs fill my hands
Heat rises
up towards my face

A Far Halt
.. ...
Get a feel for the immensity of loneliness
Unveiling flows of neon lights
Just like a dark coastline along dimly lit cliffs
Get a feel for the immensity of obscurity
The hurting aesthetics of absence
Lifting shelters out of my soul
My journey is drawing to a close
Windows and doors, blinds and peepholes...
Magically spaced out among the shadows
I am a far halt
I am a far halt at a farther crossroad...
... within someone else's R.E.M.
... entering someone else's dreamscape
...
