Long Nightdress Poems

She walks in the green fields in Wales
with a basket in her hands
She is picking jasmines flowers
and singing her favorite song as loud as she can

and under a big cherry tree
She sits down when she...

What happens in the past, stays in the mind. 

Sitting on the floor,  pen in hand, a wealth of books surround me, comfortable in my familiarity. 
Studying was my sole mission; achieving only excellence my...

It's a wonder young children still turn out all right
With the stuff that gets crammed in their heads every night.
Things like visions of sugar plum fairies and sprites,
Or a thousand tales of Arabian delights,
A frog...

The family had just moved into an old castle in Scotland; 
mother, father and their only daughter, Emmie, that they loved so deeply. 
Emmie was only 12 years old, and so innocent and beautiful.

On the edge of silence 
beyond the mossy-muffled stone wall
a wind chime chants — faint, like falling sparkles of stars—
honeyed musings of a wind spirit on the move
from west to east a bridge of broken...

I rose from my bed in the darkness
and escaped to the river in the dead of night.
Clad in only my thin fragile nightdress,
Much to my young lover's delight.

My lover was bound by his honor,
The next...

The girl of my dreams
I met one night
Her beauty captured
This Highland Knight
 
Its been a month
And i am so absorbed
To be with her
On natures orb
 
Then one night 
As we lay in bed
A strange feeling
Runs...

When we first met,
you adored me,
from sunrise to sunset.
We would stay up all night,
infatuated like lovebirds

and I'm still wondering.... What went wrong.
When did you run out of things to say?
Over one million apologies later,
I'm still...

Sleepless
Nights
Drifting
In and
Out
and
I realize
that

I've
Lost myself
Inside
This house

My
home
with
Glass walls
and
darkened windows
Ne'er letting the light in
Trying
to
find
an escape

and

In
This dreamlike
State
I
find myself walking
Through the halls
I once knew
My
feet
Throb from
the tingling sensation of
numbness that only
the
Cold Glass floor can bring

My
Nightdress
ghost like in appearence
flutters
in
the
wind
as
glacial temperatures
drop
and
My
breath
becoming visible
like tufts...

Nobody observes her leaving her room
wearing just her nightdress and red felt carpet slippers
Shuffling silently she slips out of the front door onto the street
Rivulets of rain start to soak her to the skin
Her straggly...

A rainbow of hope, in my hand I do hold.
That paints the room in prism colors, in God's hues, 
so humble yet bold.


Your heart that appreciates me, enables me to write.
Positive comments blessing many a...

In the garden of time
I weave and wait


————


Sleepwalking dreams
draping tendrils of light,
spread from the moon
to move through the night


In a flowing nightdress
the dear faeries had made,
from sage and silver
that never will fade


Eternally I’m winding
to the...

I do digress
Am I a mess
I must confess
So much duress
Sometimes suppress
I must profess
Take no bs
And will outguess
How hard to press
It will transgress
When I regress
I do depress
My minds undress
That my willingness
Is the forgiveness
Of my hopelessness
If I...

Interment

I sat by the window trying to catch sunbeam, when a man 
in a black suit, that hung loose on his skinny frame, walked 
past and I saw him disappear where the sandy road ends...

When limbs of Montmartre tint the glow
chemise de nuit falls to the ground,
belle de jour, come moan a pale sound
through alleys winding lamp light’s flow.
Her fine heels toss on follies’ show
she, au naturel , caprice...

Once I was there 
Snatching glimpses 
Through the minstrel gallery 
Watching dancers 
Cavort across the floor 
Once, for just a second 
I caught the falling petal 
As, tucking nightdress up 
To bunch over knees 
I...

If only I could gorge in your lavender scent,
Or fondly nestle in your warm, loving embrace.
Understand that “I love you” is really meant
Let me gaze and wonder the beauty of your face.

A wan moonlight summer...

From when we leave the womb, said Freud (or Jung), 
until the day we die, life's one long try 
to climb back in. That cold air hits our lungs 
with such a shock, we cannot...

Silently, she lies there fast asleep
While insomnia makes love to me
Up her torso the nightdress creeps
Exposing her naked skin to see

I dare not wake her with wet lips
Pressed against her tempting flesh
But I do adjust...

This is the tale of Betty Vautour 
Who took on a lover at age forty-four. 
Stormed out of the house 
With soft-spoken curse, 
In nightdress and slippers, 
Cosmetics and purse. 

What was she thinking? I'll...

Almond Tree and Prisoners

Stood in a nightdress shivering and cold
Feeling unwell fearful and old
Window ajar net curtains blowing
Windy outside whistling and howling

Conifer to pear trees standing tall
Weather so dreadful they possibly may fall
Concerned and frightened closely observing
Peeking through...
