              Snug in your bed of fur

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...

Sleep Tight


all his heroes wore costumes at night
wrapped around all their muscles so tight
his chances grew slim
at an outcome so grim 
when his costume exposed – cellulite

Mommy
Please provide me a pillow
You know, I can't sleep without pillow
And for God sake don't dressed me white
You know, I love colorful dresses 
Put a little perfume on my neck 
And for heaven's sake 
Don't put me in a freezer
I hate colds
Don't allow them to...

Ran thousands of miles without a break
Hustle and bustle let body with time shake
Now is the perfect moment to pause
Rest the eyes and soul from thoughts.
Dream about the dreams stored in heart
Sleep to be afresh letting tensions part
Tick tack tick tack clock wishes sweet night
Dance...

Dreams and nightmares come and go
I've found something you ought to know
These night terrors can cause distress
Reading below could rid this mess

If you wake due to thrashing around
Tiredness and lethargy will be found
You can control your mind in sleep
Don't worry now , this isn't too...

It's okay
It's all okay
Don't mind me
I'm just trying to feel free
I just want
To sleep
Maybe I'll try
Counting Sheep.

It's dark and
It's cold she
Won't go till she gets a hold
On my life
Forever
I can't fight
She's far 
Too clever


When i watch
The stars at night
They reflect
My fears my fright
Is it the...

Sleep Tight

Shuffle now accordingly off to bed you go, 
you asked so long ago to change the cards 
I dealt you; but God responded with stagger in the void…this was all foretold,
This was all a scheming pattern new; a dream was
All you had…like concrete hard...

Sleep Tight

By Elton Camp

Tom stayed in a cheap, sleazy hotel

It was dirty and had a very bad smell

Then it made him sad

At home a problem had

For he brought back bedbugs as well...

Heavy eyes too tired for dreaming
and right now, even for sleeping.

Hand wanting to write but thoughts
and inspirations are at naughts.

No energy to do anything except blink.
Brains been on overdrive this week at work I think.

The sofa's looking so enticing and snug.
Just thirty minutes on there,...

an icy wind fluffs
a white blanket in darkness

Late at night, caressed by nocturnal howls
I strode across streets of snow
A gentle tune whistled from my pockets
As the frosty breeze kissed my exposed nose

Knee deep in my final stand
I claimed old thrones that had forgotten me
An old professor who gave me hope
Taught me how...

Good Night Sleep Tight

I lay in bed Processing my day in my head.
Things I’ve forgotten, things I should’ve said.

I can’t quiet the voices in my head
Telling me what I should’ve done instead.

Did I do all I could?
Have I done everything I should?

Is the Lord forgiving...

Dozing off to dreamland
Where nightmares are in high demand
I hope tonight I’ll sleep tight
So I’ll leave it to the man of sand

As soon as my sleep takes flight
I hope I’ll dream I fly a kite
Or swim across a sea of blue
That for once I’ll no...
