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.


Lullabies To the Stars

yellow rice crickets
sing sweet lullabies
to
make 
the  
restless stars
fall asleep
to dream
the
impossible dreams

Passion Entwined

Hold me here
And just kiss me
While I fall asleep in your arms
And live my life on
There
In this kiss’s wonderful bliss

I tend to hold them tight
So text me when you get home
And I can fall asleep tonight

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

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

So I fall asleep tonight.

When your body is not near.
I wish you were here, my dear.

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.

Premium Member have you ever heard a ceiling speak

the ceiling was in a whispering mode
Greek to me because it was in code
made it difficult to fall asleep
Have you ever heard a ceiling speak?

Flight Attendants

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

In meadows my little boy – who is fall asleep!

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
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.

Premium Member 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?

Premium Member 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

I'll never possibly fall asleep.
This mosquito is playing his tune nonstop.
Thinks he's at Metropolitan Opera.

Premium Member 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.
