Best Slept Like A Baby Poems

Momma's in the kitchen frying chicken
Daddy's got the game on the old TV
Two brother's playing and fighting in the parlor
It's just the way things used to be

Momma stayed home and raised us kids
Never had much except love if I recall
Daddy worked everyday but Sunday
Then again,...

Aged and mellowed, golden whiskey in a wide mouth Mason jar.
Poured over sweet rock candy, was the guaranteed cure,
of ticklish throats; sprained ankles; hair loss; hang nails and more.
Always kept on hand, for times of desperate need,
of which Grandpa had a profound proclivity for.
No glass...

Hmmm...
this one ain't as weighty
and oooh!!...
peach sheets!
smells pretty good and
feel soft too.
I hope she doesn't fart 
like the last one.
Choked me to death he did!
Oh...no pun intended!
Brought her own pillows too,
teddy bears
A real girly girl this one
She smells like a baby...
I like her!
She gives me...

In the reflection of the mirror,
I see you.
I do.
I see you.
But not just you,
no, not just you,
I see me too.

Born different.
Born tougher.
You were,
and no one knew why.
Until now. 

The last of three
I was born,
most like my mother.
Born tougher 
and no one knew why but me.
Until...

I bought a pair of
off-brand running shoes today.

The impoverished man who made them, the man who birthed them sole to tongue in
some third-world hellhole slept like a baby that night after sewing
steadfast at machine no. 21 all day and into the night.
He was too
tired to...

They say you’re only as young as you feel
And I say, that can’t be right, can’t be real
I may think like a person twenty-three
But walk like a person with a bad knee!

When I was young I slept like a baby
Now sleep thru the night, well...

the fire encircled me
n i was melting
away into a vanishing mass
burnt into ashes, then
wake up like like a phoenix later
i knew i slept like a baby
her persistent warmth,the
enthusiasm of the youth the
loving enquires n the innocent
bashfulness awoke me
up from the deep slumber
the sun has come...

#Agony_Of_Love

What happened to all the promises,
What happened to all the sweet words,
What happened to the hopes you made me build,
What happened to the future we planned for,
What happened to the sweet kisses we had,
What happened to the nights we moaned our hearts out.

Were they all...

Some guys just want you for sex
And I can see that
But I really think that would be doing you an injustice
I want to know the real you
And who knows, maybe a relationship
Take it to a higher level
Who knows, we could be forever young
What do you...

I remember very clearly a rendezvous’! 
It was with a nineteen-year-old Swedish girl on holiday with her friend. 
They had a room in the hotel I worked in. 
My colleague and I, a barman, 
became friendly and we used to go out together 
That is...

MAMA NATURE 
The leaves dancing to the tune of nature, Shedding her leaves on the earth
for survival, 
Her breath I have perceived
Telling me that freedom is where I want to find it. 
In her hands I have slept like a baby. 
Has nature  ever...

It was the weirdest conversation two people ever made
Well, maybe not the weirdest, but weird by at least one shade
How does your giraffe sleep? The older lady inquired.
We are not sure, he hides from us, said the maid she hired.

Ours sleeps with his head on...

Billy boy Morris was known for dropping a clanger 
He bought a new car that was a complete banger
Prone to making at least a mistake once a day 
Is it best to ignore him and keep out of his way ?

Billy boy Morris had a...

Sleepless in Cascais
 
 It was a strange night
Couldn’t sleep thoughts and images
Kept churning around and I was
Horrifyingly awake.
This is pointless, got up and drank
Several glasses of water, my brain 
Was talking to me and I had no answer.
To distract myself I watched TV, till
Four...
