Premium Member Night's Abandon

Heavy lidded
Quiet and still, blurring
Visions with inklings
Of slumber, laboring
To breathe dreams
Through the embrace
Of comforting sheets
In colors of soft light
Lavender and pink
Blushing like roses, gentle
Graceful as the morning
Whispering fanciful
Fantasies, wishes, reveries
Blended on the moments
Dozing like the memories
White lace nightgowns
Intimate as poetry
Brought to life on hearts
Who listen to the glow
Of swift, still light
Reviving the feelings
Laughing silently
Through promises
Of dense truths, honesty
Growing wise inside
The heart who believes
This sweet serenity
Only comes with the closing
Of the eyes, the night
When everything rests
Soundless as the snowflake
Caressing the naked branches
Light as the wind
Sleep frees the spirit
To know the night’s abandon

At the Beyond

[line counter : miniwebtool.com/lineCounter :42lines] 


It is here at the point where no life exists
where shadows lurk and life is made
while Creation does nothing but watch itself 
in a hole that never ends

Ether dances and joke at beginnings of dust 
as we bring to life that which longs to smell 
misty dew, try luck and fate on stages of illusion 

Here we eat pomegranates in custard 
apple skin, breathing in salty spice from 
pink peas in tunnels of horns
here throats are channels of finality
columns of joy in hope

Here silence is the loveliest sound
sights contest to bloom on trees of golden chandeliers and flimsy nightgowns after 
dinner mints

At this point of open fluid blueness
sightless serpents mingle with  lights down 
their spines
bracken love is made then broken like 
crockery on a shelf overburdened with fear 

At the beyond orange magic exists in 
hair without roots, round and round
in bones without marrow, mouth to tail 
as God puts together noses and arses
makes granite curves with candy floss fingers

Here man is woman, woman man
goddesses in curls and red sequined 
slippers witness Tarzan at work eating
pineapple with prickles, tongue to tongue

Here a point becomes the only space 
space falls into time, time into circles
numbers into letters, letters into nothingness 
while black Persian cats cavort on blankets 
of faith

At the beyond things jump and don’t move
spring by standing still, guitar notes run 
along in blessed focus, locked in flights 
of danger

Here you fall and fall, scream a soundless scream ~ blond lashes in a teacup filled 
with ovum and sperm, where a flame is 
not a straw to hang on

At the beyond, it is so

Christmas Time

Nightgowns on at 9:01
Adrenal induced delerium
Santa’s journey has surly begun
To our beds, we were a scurrying

Closed eyes, at 9:05
But sleep would not come easy
We’d twist and turn, side to side
At least til 5 past 3

Then somewhere before, 3:44
Sleep would come, by chance
Til little sis would creep through the door
Ready to sneak a glance

Prowling the stairs, side by side
And past the grandfather clock
Which, by now, was reading 4:55
Five ticks before each tock 

Around the bin and into the den
Stood our sparkling 8 foot tree
Palms were there, to catch our chins
We’d gaze til 5:03

Up the stairs, new teddy bear
Little sister, close behind
Sound asleep, to prepare 
For the alarm at 6:59

Premium Member Sweet Little Fake Piety

Snowflakes
seasons, all four
pretty little gardens
holiday cheer
landscapes beautiful
be it mountains or the sea
painters painting
selfish to the souless core
yet tell me is so pretty
dawn, dusk and sunsets
clichés smashed with superficial
wrap you hate any way you wish
a real mother cares for all children
angels looking down
see the hypocrites
self-centered in floppy nightgowns
if I had a knife
and was them
I would fear myself
however I fear nothing
I whisper softly
the embrace of death
near

Its your own cold heart
you should fear

Gone in the toilet
all hatred flushed

Dressing For the Day

Pajamas or nightgowns, to me, are to keep
People cozy and comfortable while they’re asleep.
When sheltering-in or on weekends before
Getting dressed needn’t be all that much of a chore.

For even just changing to sweatpants and tees
Makes things seem so much better, by more than degrees. 
I feel much the same way about making the bed
Since not doing so can make despondency spread.

Though many may argue they do the same job
And both PJ’s and sweats make one look like a slob,
It’s psychology playing a sweet little trick
For pajamas in daylight make one appear sick.

In our homes, we’re in charge, so we wear what we choose
And if challenged to dress, we can flat-out refuse
But you’ll never find me in my sleeping attire
Past the morning, unless the apartment’s on fire!
