Lulled by all the beauty 'round her,
Forgetting that good times don't stay.

Startled from her dreams when...

Every night as I succumb to somnolence

Heavenly smoke rings of frankincense
Rise upwards with sweet opulence

Dulcet dreams inevitably commence
Without fanfare hype...

absorbing the beauty of sunsets deliciously divine.
Dancing through cool droplets of silvery rain,
feeling cleansed, refreshed,...

The traveler reeked of weariness,
His companion was Fatigue
Wear upon his clothes suggest
He'd come a million league.

Gaunt were eyes deep set and brown
Above his cheekbones high
His...

Somnolence of sweet dreams.
These are given to be most combustible or tranquil.
Taken them in midday and midnight flights.
These truly are a delicate delight.

Now, soaring adoring...

A  bleeding heart sent me to bed
Tormented hot, by a lover's deception;
And in the folds of my blanket, cold as wet,

The runs were far between,
And an air of dreamy somnolence
Hung o’er the village green.
Then out from the pavilion
A handsome figure...

Unchanging paths they always kept
As in a dream the tracks preserved
With faith immovable they slept

One day as on...

wearing the personification of a hellish realm

Words fail
Meaning blurry;
Nothing rhymes

Upstairs apartment
Renovation works;
Pneumatic floor blast

Idle talk punctuates
Not much meaning;
Bizarre thoughts

Sonic headache
Disturbing pounding;
Head time-bomb ticking

Constipated movie
Suspicious assumptions;
Character flaws

Dragonfly pond
Lotus flowers bloom;
Mud bed ascend

Heavy eyelids
Drooping daze;
Blur fatigue


Hot weather
Sleepy eyes punctuate;

Well-fed bout
Too much food;
Sleepy convulsions


Eyelids heavy
Drowsy excursions;
Dreamy ESP


Chatter in slow motion
Awareness in decline;
Afternoon nap


Rapid express
Snoring sensations;
Roomy context


One by one
Figures...

Sensorial pleasures;
Refreshing rain

A gift of somnolence
Moments on a breeze;
Drowsy airy feel

An uncertain world;
Looking not seeing

Daughter's simple hair braids
Charming sight to see;
Wavy...
