A singular failure is the alarm
  When used to late morning sleepers disarm
     For as soon as it rings
     They turn off the damn thing
  And don't wake up 'til work's done on the farm...

when fear and doubt leave
the house ,strength proves its presence, 
sleepers wake up quick.

songs come from the walls, 
nowhere to find  singers who 
motivate the mass.

my little round sleepers
with lots of coats on, mud
huggers with a tribal bottom

perfectly lined up at the
bus stop of spring, soft
under cold loam, a miracle

despite the banality of hidden
numbers; time to drink tea
as I wait in a cooling garden...

The early Spring rain
pounded the crusty sleepers 
from the All Seeing Eye of Dawn.
Like a conductor raising percussion instruments;
the rain song joined the cacophony of wind
and the crackling sound of Spring ice 
sprung from it's earthen entrapment
rising mist like toward the heavens....

I crave your fire
your iodine tounge dipped in crystaline words
you tell me the tale of the snowdon sleepers
your eyes are coal
fuel through my vains
cresendo of my heart beat
you build song inside me
hold me, snake charmer!, story teller! lover! 
keep me in the warmth of your suspense...

Creating a novel mechanism 
Time wasted will be added to age

How wonderful it will be
Long sleepers will be older

Time wasters retire early
Salary equating time wastage

Publishing an annual list 
Earning them even a medal
Hardly worked prize for them
Oscar for ignominy...

I see it back there looking toward us
Whatever that thing that i look for is
A place where the sleepers learn to dream
I brightened up our new darkened silence
Put everything in the past behind us
Lit up the night like a match and gasoline

ANd i spelled out your name
from the bottom of my bottles
I learned to lick clean...

Awful hair is filthy
Hairy legs are terrible too
Whose body is this?
Asked the raggedy lady in blue.

Her mind laughed of course
Knowing something was amiss
Dementia coaxed her into action
She gave a stranger a kiss

It is time to bathe you 
Said her uniformed keepers
You have to catch me first! 
She ran off in her sleepers....

Jeepers creepers can’t believe your peepers
Sweepers keepers jumping josey leapers.
Gleepers fleepers dallying with sneepers.
Reapers heapers willful wonder kneepers
Sleepers greepers foremost firstly weepers
Deepers sheepers giving golden fleepers
Cheepers zeepers living with grim reapers
Jeepers creepers can’t believe your peepers...

speeding along
the old country roads
for miles the only soul

from out here
the city is a string
of fire on the horizon

my headlights wrench
a black world white
unveiling the nocturne

the moon is distinct
as grasses glisten wildly
bending under the breeze

I sometimes pity sleepers
tucked into bed
for the scene they miss...

Refreshing scent of dew upon the grass,
Warm and humid as the sun is rising,
Songbirds singing melodies of morning,
Beautiful blooms upon the garden bed.

Invigorating drafts of Folgers in the air,
Comfy covers keeping sleepers warm,
Dawn passing soft welcome through the home,
Sleepy eyes awakening once again.

To live this spring morning....

You’re gone for days, and
you always show up most 
unexpectedly.

Like the mushrooms 
that weren't there 
the night before—
a ring of pallid sculls, 
sleepers pushing through 
the dark moist earth.

I always wonder: 
are you toxic or 
are you a delicacy... 

Oh how I wish I knew 
the plan that is set before me,

and your intentions......

the best
   and worst
     of times
haunt experience,
hypnotise
     thought
        processes
day &night:
almost
      incessant
ebb ,flow and recedes-
sleepers
  of sentiment
      once so
      isolated
arise
       awake
in small 
         fragments
to become
        phrases
in the anthology
of the creative
               being...

B-ehold the silent sunrise, 
I-t wakes up the sleepers; 
N-ight is afraid of its light, 
G-leams glow without whispers.

F-eel the silent sunrise, 
A-s you gaze at the horizon; 
R-ays beam because of warmth, 
R-ight there from the beacon.
A-im at the daybreak, 
L-et dawn delight your eyes; 
E-arly fifteenth of January, 
S-avor the silent sunrise....

We waltz among moonlit clouds,
chiffon robes, a dreamy shroud.

Clasping hands we spin and twirl,
this sleepers haven, a perfect world.

Darkness lends to a soul's relief,
sparing hearts from the grief.

Trending fears of dawns new light,
shining pain upon the plight.

An evenings gift, at days long end,
a return to sleep, when we'll dance again!...

we're long grass walkers
mid-night stalkers
sleepers of many hours...
fur so soft
a soothing pet to pet.
we do so welcome
a strke or two.

so nice kitty kitty,
but not so much !
let me out
so i may hunt

morning comes
just let me in,
the head i'll bring
of what i eat.

let me in
when you awake,
i'll be there for you,
for me to pet...

CATS !!...

Salvation of hollow-burrow, spaceful for life,
hiding and appearing engaged that day.
Seven Sleepers, unwanted companions,
pardoners, neither demigod-cyborg nor god.
Peaceful in retreat of folding nocturnal-diurnal.
Contemplation bleached the sinners,
restraining lust, abstinence for circular bell tolls.

The Cavern's Sleepers,
Sophia of hibernation,
tapa Barata....
