Best Goodnight Poems

Travel light, my dear; softly go
beyond the night’s each black shadow
to another plane. Out of sight
exists a realm of such delight
you may find relief from sorrow!

Lay your head on your pillow.
Sink into the Now.  Tomorrow
comes soon enough, but for tonight

In the midst of red evening, leaves fall from the sky,
Yielding lavish hues and vibrancy, to gathering dusk.
Under a pearl moon, twirling leaves wave goodbye,
To warmer, brighter, gold days, in the pale stardust.

Yielding lavish hues and vibrancy, to gathering dusk,
Pretty, migratory birds, are taking the...

I was taking out my trash can 
When I thought I saw a worm 
But I realized it was a caterpillar 
When the thing began to squirm 

It crawled across the cobblestone 
And made its way onto the grass 
But when my puppy went to...

I wrote a song that reads your name...
And lit a candle that sits near our frame...
I closed my eyes and whispered through a dream...
Then I awakened to a room lightened by the moon's beam...
There you rest, your eyes moving in a peaceful sleep...
I could just...

In the dampness of those unslept sheets I find my solace 
between the linear moments when you held my breath 
and the last time we said goodbye:

Awakened by the thunder every calm fiber 
goes dormant as I toss and turn 
searching for the memory of...

Go to sleep dear P.D...you need your rest
Tomorrow will be busy...got to be at your best

Children and grandchild...you know they are wild
They'll wear you out...and thats putting it mild

Oh no the resturant...you better not forget
Cooking and serving...your body wet with sweat

A shower, a shower...and you...

Well they are here again
Knocking on my door
Monopolizing my television
Decorating my neighbors homes
Blitzing me at every store 
And corner in every city and hamlet
Between here and Buzzard Beak, Idaho.
It’s like a virus
A pandemic
Santa Claus is coming to town
Well I’ve been bad, very bad
And if that...

My eyes gazing at a beautiful sunset

Are we sacred souls
who shed our flimsy flesh
like slimy serpents
shed their skin?
Be observant,
but show no chagrin,
for in learning life’s lessons
we lessen our scars in the next.
It’s the game master’s pretext,
yet a disaster for those
who guard their granite heart
as if, by giving love away,
they might have...

Another night has come and gone
Sleep tight old friend the moon
The sands of time are running fast
As days turn in to dunes

Yellow takes away the black
Today is but a breath
Yesterday will not be back
'til shadows dance of death

Fret not my ageless sleepy friend
Sands will cease...

I'll kiss you as you sleep,
But secretly I shall also weep,
For it seems you are now away from me,
Wandering about with my parallel self,
In the sweet world of dreams.

I'll kiss you as you die,
But secretly, away from others, I shall also cry,
For then it would...

Tenderly, 
You kissed me, goodnight, my love

And

The sky was lit up 
By a billion newborn stars!

Remember
     when we were wed
          and how
               goodnight kisses

"Goodnight Soupers, Soupers Goodnight
    Time for Chris to say Goodbye"

From the very early morning
When the sun still fights the moon
He will sit to write his lyrics
To be posted very soon

With a cup of coffee waiting
And a notepad filled with Soup
Tangerine skies out...

As daylight ebbs  comfy folds of colorful quilts wrap around the land
sending  it  into  blissful slumber.
Sunset nods listlessly its orange glow stretch and yawn before receding  to 
distant shores.
Mountains shrink to grotesque shapes as a playful moon skips high into...
