sleep

Insomnolence of agitation Vigilance of dedication Perseverance without hesitation Relentless acts of wakefulness Tis not the eve nor the asphyxiation I simply crave to slumber

I lay in bed on my side Watching as you sleep You look like an angel A small smile on your face You came to me tonight Seeking love and comfort I gave you both And bade you stay with me You lay beside me quietly A peace covers you Now morning approaches Y...

As I watch him fall asleep, my heart swells with love for him. I say "I love you" and he answers every time. He listens for my voice and I never disappoint him. When he gets restless I only have to talk to him and he stops and smiles in his sleep. I can n...

Still Waters

Searching dreams for some meaning.

It is said that still waters run deep.A curious mind does never sleep. Probing the depth's even in slumber.Dreams from the past do encumber. Some try to put one's soul under.Some steal our mind and plunder. Bring us back in a cold sweat.Sent bolting uprig...

where is he?my friend, my lover.my hypnos, my somnus.my nocturnal friend,who always came at night,and left at dawn like a vampire.every night I opened myself to him,and without fail he always came.I never had to go searching.I never had to shout out his n...

Dilemma.

I think about the weirdest things.

I don't know if I wanna sit about doing nothing or nap. I kinda want both,but also neither.Sleep feels much nearer but doing nothing is more of a head clearer. The trouble with naps,is you either wake up refreshed,or you find a desert has set up shopin yo...

Sleep, Oh beautiful sleep Let me rest softly For I am so tired Sleep, Oh beautiful sleep Sleep, Oh restful sleep Let me lie down Just one more time Sleep, Oh restful sleep Sleep, Oh warming sleep Let me retire now Under your thick green blanket Sleep, Oh...

Back to Sleep

You aren't alone..

Lay down, Ignore the pain, Close your eyes, Imagine it again- You aren't alone, There's someone with you, Don't be lonely, I am here. Curl up close, Careful- it hurts, I'll hold you tight, but gentle enough that it won't hurt you. Tight hugs, tight enough...

Blissful.. Dreamless Sleep

Trying out some new, randomly thought of descriptors... I may have made up a couple words.

The drums beating at my brain like rain onto a window, soft yet stabbing into the silence of these 3 rooms. One, a mall filled with clown faces, false expressions of undying love and the bogus perkiness  to be compared with that of a young pup. Two, a roo...

Magical Tea

Vanilla tea really helps me to sleep...

Vanilla tea, down the throat, warm in the belly, helping me cope...Lay in my bed, closing my eyes, dream a sweet dream about you and I...I'm in your arms, safe and sound, too bad when I wake up you aren't around.

What my dreams are made of

The beginning of a conclusion

Under blankets of stars I sleep a slumber deepDrenched in the dewy sheen of space I swim through its amniotic lullabyWhat a way to go Usefully futileAnother cog in Earth's machine I wait to be recycled To drown every care in the world Beneath the crashing...

Rowan

A child wakes up from a nightmare.

Grandson Rowan woke up crying. I hastened to his side There he lay Left arm flung out from his duvet Eyelids fluttering His mouth turned down in a frown Can I sooth him? My sweet Rowan Tired at the end Of a busy day Bouncing on his trampoline Clowning aro...
