Long Zaps Poems

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...

Tired of feeling sleepy today - August 17th, 2019

Lashed with fatigue,
eye cannot fend off lethargy
hazy, hot, humid weather zaps
mental physical, and spiritual energy
even men of cloth
various and sundry clergy.

Undoubtedly summoning Parson Brown
currently out of season,
though...

Spider’s Wire
 
The light of the sun
Rode down the strand.
 
Photons riding a wire.
Natural polymer, most grand.
 
Slowly down the spider's web
Reflections of the sun now ebb.
 
Insect trap? Optical fiber?
Why not both and call...

My heart is beating off the clock.
He is somewhere in here, and he can see better than I can.
He may lunge into me at any second.
I am holding two weapons, neither good enough.

My Yellow Butterfly; 
My Array!

Pinched in the corner of my eye,
Ah, ‘tis just my yellow butterfly!

A swarm of bees came chomping down on its tail,
And whipping up winds it stirs up new jets to sail!

Gone
After your last breath I was defeated,
Body, soul and spirit taken down.
Caressing memories became my new world,
Drowning in the past was solid ground.
Everything you did from start to finish,
Following me in my dreams so clear.
Great...

places I can only dream of here.

Satisfying my thirst for adventure,
my psyche-me  and soul-me fly away
with happy winged feet as the body 
surrenders to REM sleep.

Love
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Love approaches and does not scare.
Love bears and does not let go.
Love cares and does not shrink.
Love declares and does not shun.
Love establishes and does not tear down.

Sweltering summer temperatures
and warm sultry summer nights
left me scratching my legs red raw
I hate receiving nasty insect bites
 
I’d slather bare limbs with cream

Bites are an issue that I live...

Saddened Squirrel


she writes
like her wings
are dipped 
in purgatory
hot water
and she is grounded
and broken
because of him
him, him, him
to her
how, how, how
he's met
every overture
every response
with bit lips
and olive branches
yet, yet, yet
she seems to think
like 
he's the enemy

Cell phone zombies walking with heads hanging down,
Eyes fixed on a cell phone, not looking around,
Bumping into things they don’t want to see,
Never looking up at you or at me.

I look around and what do...
