I won't go to bed

Sand
How Hitler knew
The fate of all
Only our teeth
Will remain
As sand by the sea
On this death world
For the Sandman
To make the rest
Dream of life
While they sleep....

Can't sleep
Count sheep
So weary
Eyes bleary

    Relax
Sandman sacked

Get up
Make tea
Drink three
Dear me

Glance at clock
Get a shock
Sunrise
Closed eyes...

Premium Member Whispers the Sandman
    Whispers the sandman
      sleep is nigh
    Tuck away your day
      one last kiss, then bye

    Dim the lights
      breathe a deep sigh
    Now let me sing you
      a soft lullaby...

Sandman
Sandy is why
you need
to take heed
and move your guise
a lining
is in the sky
silver is the color
and the money is fly
.
honey…
it’s in the love
that I’m writing
.
to ‘you’
.
a storm 
is coming
it's true....

The Sandman
Running

                                 sneak a look back

                         heart pounding, sweat pouring

                           the hammer is about to fall

                                        I wake...

Spiritual magic 
Dancing lightly
Dream State Ballroom

Formally formal
Gliding gracefully
Waltzing and bowing

Eyes flutter 
Not quite closed
Slipping into abyss

Sandman magic
Whistling softly
To not disturb dreamer...

The Sandman's Behind
Sleep
I need
Yet evades
My night time bed
I'm too hot, too cold
Too much stress to rest mind
Lullaby sings to the moon
I count sheep but would rather sleep
Pray, maybe a nap later today
The sandman is always running behind...

My restless thoughts at last stop pestering me.
No consciousness have I when first I’m sleeping.
I long to be submerged in dreams’ deep waters.
Oh, Sandman, guide me past your sandy shoreline
to drift inside the sea of sweetest slumber....

one hundred sixty two games
knowing all the players names
follow scores best we can
west coast games bring sandman
we'll watch the standings 
keep track of innings
after all-star game it ignites a flame
winners will win and losers fall to shame...

Premium Member 'neath the Willow
Let me write a couple lines
  before I go to sleep

I promise not to burden you
  nor to make you cry or weep

Lay your face down on the pillow
  on the shoreline 'neath the willow

May you the sandman sprinkle
  with dreams of stars that twinkle...

Half Lotus
What a waste. 

This park, 
This urinal, 
This white stain. 

And I am undone. 
As always, repeating
Myself without a 
White flag in site. 

Consequences bequeth
Me and I wish 
I could pay the 
Sandman. 

But not quickly, 
no. 

A Buddhist, 
A mantra, 
A sin....

Premium Member Good Night Poets
Mr Sandman is calling my name
Blew slumber powder on my brain
What lies ahead for me in sleep
Hoping for peace and happy dreams

Good night poets one and all
Hope you dream big and tall
Or if your time to be awake is now
Hope your hearts desire is found...

Premium Member And Now To Sleep
And now to sleep
   Stars sparkle and gleam
The world's quiet; nary a peep
   My pillow is soft, ready for dreams

Stop swirling, stray thoughts
   No more reflections to ponder
By the sandman I'm caught
   Open now, portal to wonder 


 ~ Pleasant dreams, Soupers! ~...

SANDMAN
Sandman, sandman
Hold me tight
Help me go to
Sleep tonight
Saying zee, zee
Zee, zee
Zee, zee
Let me go to
Sleep dream free
Sandman, sandman
It’s alright
Help me go to
Sleep tonight
I’m fright, fright
Fright, fright
Fright, fright
Make sure you
Cut out the light
