Melatonin
    Telephonin’
        In a good night’s sleep

Time releasing
    Seems decreasing 
        Won’t till morning keep...

Any minute now,
It’ll be kicking in.

Counting endless sheep,
It’ll soon end.

My resistant brain,
mellowed.

It’s slow release,
puts it at ease.

At peace,
finally, 
I can sleep....

The light from the window 
danced on the wall
Projecting the branches of the tree outside
Like a painting in the dark.
My melatonin wasnt working
So I watched the light
And I thought about
California, and Idaho,
And Italy, and Egypt
Until I finally fell asleep...

Black dreams come like spiders through the sockets of an ancient skull
they crawl in, create a lull
wire black bodies pile in the empty space
overflowing from the gaps in my face
against dark night time thoughts
Melatonin counts for nought

and my eyes are open wide
as into my brain the spiders slide....

i live in contradicting realities
i wanna stop my impulsive tendencies
i wanna know what i'm seeing
'cause this is more than just a tease

you're so nice, so take this knife
and cut a pattern into my head
something i can understand
let me taste your melatonin-laced essence
so i can relax in your presence...

Floating through the air

Into your loving arms

Caressing your body with a fervor

A sickness, an endeavor

Rubbing cheek to cheek

Trying hard not to wake

From this melatonin dream

Holding my breath 

Til the moon descends into the ocean

Painting a portrait 

Of the two of us standing 

At a fork in the road

Waiting for the train

To take us to our unknown destinations....

BROWNED BEAUTIFUL BRONZE BROWN NATURAL WOMAN-

Soften tone medi
-um brown ever so her eyes 
Smiled all natural 
Skin fresh breast symmetric like-
-N grapefruits moisten lips speaks
~
 Softly tender breathe
 Arms like rubber bands chisel 
Stealth ears sweet legs as
 Turkey drumsticks firm moving
Melatonin golden brown
