Pillows in the sky
Pillows in the sky
float in the breath of the wind
slowly moving, soft flying views
Time to rest in the clear space of mind
Pillows in the sky
waiting, shining, showing
all the special things to find
Clouds like these pillows, in the sky
are not the only reason
for rest and for dreams
It's all more than it seems

toddler's pillows
Slept with debt
Colors fading in
And about my paper
These missiles
I learn from
Lost times
Missing tables
Without a binding
Leaving signs
Coming long, overdone
My riddled ponds
Scram, loves
Every beating shirt
Out of fits i have worn, down
Down, i war every one down
To be alone, dense
As putrid grey
Clouds inside of a sand
A single sand left
Whereth my shlacked confusion
Meaningless resentable
Getting through a need
She wouldnt love
Her

Pillows of Patience
I n v i s i b l e threads,
a mystical m i r a g e,
binding the silhouette of the sky
to the
skin of cinnamon sequels
in the deep blue chakra
that sees beyond
illusive clouds,
carrying rainbow roses
and thornless buds
quenched with jasmine rain.
Yet I remain engrossed
in the rising haze from cornea rivers,
facing the sun
amidst silenced stones,
counting unwept
diamonds that

Forever by your side
Oh, my beloved,
I've been searching for you all day long.
Since the day we met,
I've been deeply in love with you.
I've been craving your presence,
Dying every day as I wait for you.
I've been utterly consumed!
I sense that you've been with me telepathically,
Sending me signs!
I feel like you're the only king of my

Pillows
I hold his pillows, wishing for his cologne, beneath my elbows
As I sit in a position as though in a meditation.
I await his return to the desires which I most yearn.

A unicorn travels through the wheat fields and lays its dreams on pillows of poppies
A unicorn travels through the wheat fields and lays its dreams on pillows of poppies,
In your fragrance of wind, as clover crowns itself in bloom,
Over the evening horizon, see, stars were falling,
And in a handkerchief, I knot the embroidery of the storm.
Under my feet, dust grows, and lightning passes through me,
The wind moves among the

A unicorn travels through the wheat and lays its dreams upon poppy pillows
A unicorn travels through the wheat and lays its dreams upon poppy pillows,
Among the echoes of time that resonate in an eternal violet dusk,
Where the sky embraces the sea in a mirror without lid,
And the moon is a silver brooch that captures vapors of untold events.
Upon its back grow flowers of light on astral paths,
Weaving

Leaving Poems On Pillows
Remember when you cried
in the morning because you
'left a poem on your pillow'
at night... It was such a big
deal and you even agonized
over it for a quarter of an
hour or so before you threw

Sea of Quilted Pillows
In a sea of quilted pillows way down below
Were stitches of love and fun that Jan's grandma did sew
In the hem there was a teensy little elf named Nimble
He had watched grandma’s magic, when she used a thimble.
Nimble kept quiet until the child was asleep.
Not coming out until their snores were loud and deep.
Remnants of

How Many Pillows Does a Giraffe Need
how many pillows does an average giraffe need?
To lay his head down without lying down in his seed?
ten would be too skimpy, twenty might be wild.
Come on, think, my friend. Use your brain, my child.
I guess maybe fifty? The child ventured a teensy guess.
I gave him a wave, but I knew it would be less.
I

Last-Thing

Let's build our castles in san again,
That makes us forget all our pains.
Sleep on her lap when nightmares haunt,
That's the last thing I want.
Let's make that paper boat float in rain,
Had nothing to lose or to gain.
Fight with pillows as the way we fought,
That's the last thing I want.
Let's listen to those fairy tales once

False Gods and Pillows Sleeping
Titanium white floats on the snow OWLS path
Large black eyes focused front and down to hunt
Rodents worship birds of prey but fear being eaten
There is more to life than living in the trees
Over the river and to the left a cathedral ends
Inside there once dwelt a tabernacle bright
Now once upon a time and than again
