No part of me wants to want 
a held heart;
Except at night when your face is all I can see 
right before I fall asleep.

A Day On the Beach

A secluded beach,
Splashing each other with love,
We claim as our own,
Peaceful, we fall asleep to
Warm sand singing lullabies

My Poet

Pissed me off
Made me scratch my head
then laugh
Caused me to cry
and say "WOW!"
Gave me a yawn
and fall asleep
With a smile

We Keep the Thermostat Too Cold

our house is on freeze
a hundred degrees outside
I need a blanket 
I got outside to warm up
Fall asleep in the sun
with the cat

I want to live in my mother's cheekbones that kiss the moon,
then climb down her braids and fall asleep in my indigenous silver spoon.

Goodnight

goodnight my love
sleep well
you’re the last voice 
that I hear
and I fall asleep
with a smile
I will find my way
to you in my dreams

When you fall asleep do you think of me?
Every night i see you in my dreams.
Do the leaves spin in circles?
Every night i pray for your love.

Flight Attendants

If women flight attendants stand with 
digits on their 
hips and 
elbows turned away the 
pilots won’t 
fall asleep.

Beauteous Moments

From "The Defiant Haiku"

I wonder in what dream one hundred
Years from now he can write Dragonflies
In meadows my little boy – who is fall asleep!

Home - 2

I shant fall asleep
'til my eyes see Dawn's Sunrise
Kissing Mountain's Peak

'til I feel the warmth
of nature surrounding me
Knowing I AM HOME

Shining Star

Shining star
Lit up my room
Tried to fall asleep
But your glow
Crept through my 
Closed eyelids
Your presence
Is too strong
I never want to
Fall asleep

Sleepless Night

Lying down in bed,
Waiting to fall asleep,
I think of poems to read and write,
But I’m running out of lead,
Listening to my watch beep,
As I lie awake at night.

Asleep

I fall asleep when I am alone.
It is my escape from reality.
I dream in a world all my own.
Here, I retain total sovereignty.
I open the door…. Will you join me?

Hamster Named Neil

There once was an old hamster named Neil
Who, when he ate too large of a meal
Would rise from the table
And say he was able
But then he’d fall asleep at the wheel

How I Feel When I Fall Asleep

Feeling over tired
unable to keep awake
I go to my bedroom
My eyes burning

I am in deep slumber
When my head meets pillow
Now my eyes are closed
I have fallen asleep

Past Poets

Past poets 

live inside our heads.

Their poems

we've listened to

 and read.

And when we 

fall asleep at night,

Inside our dreams, 

new poems they write.

Forever

I love you
can you see?
I trust in you
do you trust in me?
I hold you in my heart
I see you in my dreams
and I'll say your name forever
before I fall asleep.

Asleep

You pretended to fall asleep ,
When I sneak.
You promised to take my stand,
But you found a new hand.
I got up from my daydreaming,
Just realised it was me who was sleeping.

She Should Come

If I can’t fall asleep tonight ill puke
Because I invited sleep yesterday
And she so rudely did not show
Ill invite her again
Without her its pain
She says she’ll come but when?

Drifting

Broken
Lost
Like a ship sinking 
Darkness
Open water
Leaves me thinking
Drowning
Lungs burning
Making me scream silently
Breathless
Fading away
I fall asleep and drift endlessly

Missing You

When the sun goes down 
I think of you 
When the moon appears 
I think of you 
When I fall asleep
I think of you 
When morning wakes me
I miss you

Kids These Days

A young lad there was, couldn't fall asleep
Tossed and turned all night; he would even weep
   He cried for his mama
   Then yelled for his papa
With no computer, he couldn't count sheep

Teddy Bear

Oh to fall asleep
with my arms by your side
legs close, arms tied
keeping me warm
holding me tight
like satin,
my fingers run through your hair
I can't sleep without you
my teddy bear
