Shuffling the Deck to Fall Asleep, Perchance

Falling asleep is such sweet sorrow!
Alas, lullabies are so 'Yesterday''!
It started with counting sheep:
Knit one, Purl One,
Knit two Together,
Promenading One by One, 
Fluffy Cute Wee little Lambs,
Jumping over a fence.
One, two, three, four........
zzzzzzzzzzz
But, the shepherds
shooed the flock back inside the shed.
Said it was midnight mayhem - 
'duffing sheep to rustle sleep'!
So the Hypnos Somnus Gurus

Perchance To Dream

eds are deadly dangerous
more people die there
no matter young or old
than anywhere
else in the whole wide world
(or so I've been told)
and if it's not too late
someone should legislate
to outlaw
and recall them all
then instead we'll sleep on the floor
so before you go
up the wooden hills to Bedforshire
and wend your weary way
to the land of Nod
if you

No Perchance to Dream

Now I lay me down to sleep
Alone upon these empty sheets
Of paper lying on the bed
Side table clock says 5 a.m.

Oh dark of night, I beg thee stay
Keep the morning light at bay
Oh dusk beloved!
Oh dawn be damned!
Me pull the curtains tight again

And only this I have to show
These tries at rhymes
Turned tales of woe:

Perchance To Dream

Pulling the curtains
down on today
Shutting the windows 
doors locked from the street
Putting the cat out
trouble abeyant
My house becomes quiet
—the past is asleep

Perchance For To Dream

‘tis one forty five 
I am still wide awake 
Despite feeling sleepy
What more can one take
Perchance for to dream
Though never it would seem
For I am more awake
Than ever I have been
Awakening each hour
Since retiring to my bed
For to sleep  ~  For to dream
Wide awake it would seem

To Kiss, Perchance To Dream

Rain or shine, doesn't matter
Every day is bright
After all I have your face
To see in my mind's sight

I always have this wonder
What it would be like
To kiss you and to hold you
In my arms so tight

I wouldn't hold you so tight
That you could hardly breathe
But once I had you in my arms
I wouldn't let you

Perchance To Dream

Welcome to my abode, my love
Be it at height of sunlight
Or in the darkest night.

If the need comes into my dreams,
Or create for me hallucinations,
Virtual creations of your beautiful self.
However you decide, just come,
All I need is your presence
Ethereal or physical as you like.
 
See the eventide is shrouded in mist
As swallows search their cosy

Perchance

Glorious world with sacrilegious act.
Untamed people with staled facts.
Courageous ones are dismantled for instance,
Fictional ones are too fiction to rant.
Vigorous thoughts following with stance.
Humorous ones are hard to track.
Smart ones are too much for a glance.
Cynical ones, they never last.
Forecasting weather with a chance.
Hoping for a future with an incapability to adapt.
Drafting dreams while breaking

Perchance To Dream

Do you ever look forward to falling asleep...
In hopes of escaping into sweet dreams so deep? :)

If you dread nightmares, careful what TV you watch
(My advice: E.W.T.N. is topnotch!)

Could read the Bible till your eyelids start to droop
Or read nice verses (like mine) on PoetrySoup

My mother told me, when I was a little girl:
Contemplate happy

Perchance

Cast the die, tell a lie
with stony face, just in case
you await your fate.
Perchance a circumstance
will run amok your luck
to trace perchance a triage,
to swish your wish 
aligned, belied, beguiled
a happenstance prance
a dream perchance beseem

Perchance In Dreams

no hocus pocus
                  reality feels bogus 
                dreams zap our focus
            

Perchance To Dream

A 
Harvest 
Moon
will be 
here soon
Her beauty beams
in dark night skies
magnificent ~ spectacular
her splendour fills my eyes
as I am truly mesmerised
I will 
gaze 
at her 
in awe
Her 
magic
aura
I adore
She 
truly 
takes 
my 
breath
 away
I 
wonder
 if 
one 
day
I will
be on
that spaceship
to the Moon

To Sleep-Perchance

They finished reading their bedtime story…she finished praying the Lord her soul would keep…as her mother tucked her in she asked, “Momma, why do we sleep?”

“And while we’re on the subject,” she said, her eyes now open and bright, “how did it come to be…we only sleep at night?”

Of course she knew the scientific answer…of

Fates Cousin - Perchance

what happened just now
is what I had dreamt about
it was déjà rêvé
my brain churned through memories
to predict perchance fated
