Best Asleep Poems

The desire grows,
the bond strengthens,
to let you hold me in your arms.

closer.
stronger.

oh, how I'd love to fall asleep in your arms,
for they are safe I know,
warm with comfort.
don't move a muscle,
breathing heavy,
wishing time would come to a hault just for us.
never to let a moment...

half-asleep

Though half asleep,
 my mind discrete,
Does observe a stranger, 
a face close by,
 as i do sleep,
beside me,
 cheek by cheek,
face by face,
 no danger.
Who is this lady sweet devine,
Someone from another time,
To be there in my dreaming time?
A princess of soothsayers.
We come and go,...

The death came

You were asleep

An offer you made

You couldn't resist


He asked you plainly

At point-blank

Your soul to carry

To oblivion's bank


Where Angels wait

With outstretched wings

Your soul to embrace

As heaven sings


Then with them to fly

To the place of bliss

Where the Lord awaits

To give you a kiss


You gladly accepted

Your...

When I’m asleep, I’m not in pain
                    A respite from the constant rain
A place that seems so far away

Sleep come
And best that it is fast 
Deep and dark with no windows 
Facing east
Sleep come
For it is 
better to be asleep.
It is better, 
than to dream
Better to be asleep 
In these days of rust
Than to fracture and fade
In the wilting sun...

Asleep in the Snow

I can't live the way I wanna
I just live the way I can
Though I can't say you're gonna
I just wish you'd understand

In this life there are winners
And losers all the same
But in this pool of sinners
I'm a fool who feeds the flame

If...

When you tremble and shake 
it shakes my world apart.
When you cry, in my world,
it rains, it floods in here.
I'm lying here on the floor caressing your ghost
and before these memories loose there edge
I just wanted you to know that.

How long did I try to...

shh! the queen anne's lace is slumbering. there is no movement and her eyes are tightly shut. the wild strawberries are silent. there is a fox creeping over the dandelions. the wind has died down to nothing. it is a balmy night. there is wonder...

Sammy fell asleep in the girls’ room again.
They are four, six and seven so that’s on him.
My giggling husband and I casually tiptoed in 
He had toys from his bottom up to his chin.

He does not seem to mind, said my husband Joe
He was right,...

Asleep
Exhausted, restless
Dreaming, snorting, turning
Sunlight, alarm, shower, coffee
Stretching, yawning, changing
Irritable, confused
Awake...

Feeling over tired
unable to keep awake
I go to my bedroom
My eyes burning

I am in deep slumber
When my head meets pillow
Now my eyes are closed
I have fallen asleep...

I think of her asleep at home;
Full of her warmth, I envy our bed.
Wherever all my musings roam
She follows in my head....

Have had this beard since 1962

Without it would sure be unsightly

Have a severe case of sleep apnea

A face mask must fit tightly

To solve it, may have to shave it off

Or I'll lose my right to drive

The danger is falling asleep at the wheel

But my eyes...

The dawning day is like an open door
for voyagers adrift in living stream
to waken from the dream asleep no more.

When out of slumber’s seas we’re cast ashore
and consciousness resumes its heady beam,
the dawning day is like an open door.

With dialectic feet upon the floor
the thinker...

Her shadow crept into bedroom
and kissed me passionately...
