Long Drift off Poems

Toddlers' Exploration: 

Cardboard drum and a thunderous beast
With playful roars in tiny fists and feasts.
Fleeting wings glide to dreams just out of reach

Flaps...

Dream state yields deep sleep personifications

Upon lying supine - eye shutter lids
into the land of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod,
where the sandman beckons and bids
dead to the webbed wide world,
yours truly immune to wakefulness 
despite being...

Honey,
please don't even try to get me interested
in your Cranial Ontology Department.

when I am thinking out loud,
with tender thoughts about...

The Sun begins to rise as I lay here in bed, 
Listening as these questions repeat in my head. 
I know I should be sleeping 
But I choose to listen instead. 
Searching for an answer,...

Suicide isn't an option but I can't say it has never been,
I'll admit, I tried it once, way back when.

Waking up to despair,
sadness,
bone-tired at war with a beeping alarm clock,
an alarming list of immediately urgent responsibilities
without an opportunity in sight,
or at least not this first despairing fright,
at end of night.

If this sounds familiar
as at...

Say goodbye to the old days
Wave goodbye to the old ways
Sinking towards the bottom of the ocean
Ditching the tides of tribulation and commotion

Sinking way down below
The dolphins stride ride
Drifting into the deep tide
Of darkness since...

Every time I dream,
I dream of her I do not know,
whom of which I do want so.
And when I dream I dream so well,
that I can't hardly ever tell.
That it is a dream at all
till...

Night 3
It’s still in my garden.
It’s back with a vengeance.
I can it see it there, lurking without pardon,
face black and white; its tail mocking.
Three nights in a row now:
the eyes, the fur, the scraping claws.
I...

I came back from a cold windy walk
Off with my mittens and hat
And coat and boots
On with the tea kettle
I opened the box
“Lipton - 100% Real Tea Leaves
Serve Hot or Iced”
Oooo not ‘iced’
I don’t even...

On a cold winter’s night
We sit close together
By a fire, warm and snug
Almost sleeping, certainly dreaming

A hand-knit blanket is over us
It keeps us warm
As we watch the snow fall
On the back patio of our home

We...

Whether right or wrong in some ways we fell together
as if waves crash upon the sea,
