Best Dreamless Poems

DREAMLESS ALPHABETS


Aphelion my long time residence
Banished into a dreamless existence
Cannibals surround the escape routes
Diligently feeding my doubts
Eagerly anticipating my demise
Ferociously preparing for my conclusion
Gathering hippocampus, for seasoning
Hors d’oeuvres, bloody temporal lobes
Impulsive, angry, throwing away all reasoning
Jaded, crawling towards the scavengers
Knees embedded with gravel
Lesions seeping into...

"where do dreams come from?"
he lifted his head, perplexed,
and replied: "nowhere."...

Swaying. Dancing. Let me carry you.
Dance for me. Dance for me. Dance for me.
It's beautiful how you hold on so tight, but reach so far.

Up and Up and Up.
Begging sunshine and starlight and moon beams to fill your cupped palm.
We' can sip from it together...

A life without dreams resembles the night sky which the glow of stars is missing!

When being awake
is hard and unbearable.

When in restless dreams
peace is fleeting.

What else is in there to live and hope for
if not only to be eager for your own demise?

The planks of wood may come and cover me
forwhy about this life I have nothing else to...

It was not so much the seed that grow in my dream
But the dream that grow from the seed
This seed so small, so fragile
This seed I nurtured watered and light with the glowing rays of the sun with in
I did it with out knowing, with...

I.
Tonight I am yours all to blame
See me through this morbid shame
Deep inside my misery, you come to complain
Bringing my hopes up then putting them down the drain.

Chorus (1)
Accept my mediocrity
I am dreamless, forever dreamless

II.
I dare run away from me
So far not even I can...

By the crest of the moon I watch you sleep.
You're dreaming your desire.
And I'll have memories to keep
got in just under the wire.

Your mouth weaves stories in half-light.
It speaks to me of hope.
Believing everything's alright
is how I learned to cope.

Destiny falls down around
into the waning...

Such a dreamless sleeper was Dan Doff
Snoring each night, he slept like a log
Suddenly, it occurred to him
Just once, he needed to dream
But poor Dan knew not what to dream of....

Journeying within the darkness is profound
which longs to mesmerize my mind to seek
all that is not encountered when reality
holds my mundane thoughts captive

Sounds and sights diverge culminating
into a kaleidoscope of sensorial impulses that emit
only transient means to express that sensory
which I cannot focus when awoken.

Dreaming up bloody battles night after night.
Sleep on a bed of thorns turned over light.
This is how we return to the rude guests.
The worst possible scenario was the best.

The heart and mind joined together.
Lady with a passion for stormy weather.
Yes, even with my eyes squeezing...

The painful night fell

Tears dripped on the pillow-


Scared dreams run away!

Dreamless at night
flightless by day
curious still of the dawn
mystery of oval light
shining across america still
and emotions of granduer fill
the cure all of the people is a pill
oval and bright a contained sun
bringing joy one dose at a time
making memories one day at a time
to hear...

Had that strangest time feeling
caught myself between my eyes
awake in a dream
floating certainties of sensing
this reality
another finality
something somewhere
with beneficent intention

Couldn't sleep
felt myself within
a subterranean hearth
burning irregular
drifting in flames
a voices continuance
from out of the deep
repeating an endless of unknown names

Fantastical or grotesque this curious
unsure thing this...

The wind, careless in its airy freedom,
Feverishly furrows the prairie grass.
With a cry like a lost spirit, it winds
And wails through leafless trees and toothless fence
To vent its eager force upon the boards
Of a lonely, weather-beaten farmhouse.

Afternoon sun shines ashen and mottled,
In slim slanting shafts,...
