Short Sleepwalker Poems

Carrie Meeker was a sleepwalker,
Her doctor prescribed beta blocker;
The drug acted full whack 
stopping her sleep and walk
Now she is a real chronic squawker....

In time of need,
I am the sleepwalker
of imaginative dreams;
searching everywhere, 
and not finding you anywhere.
And walking I sense
a shadow following
without the sound of footsteps...
I look back and nothing is moving;
and if imagination persists:
I'll kicks rocks instead of shedding tears
in time of need!...

gray sky swallows
  a surly surface

gritty sky smothers
  a solitary sleepwalker

i sit
i sit & wait
       & wait 
               & wait 
                       & wait
                               for

His eyes stare blankly through me 
Then he coldly turns aside
Though tenderness once drew me
Cold dispassion he can't hide.

Abandoned in the dead of night
Alone and overwrought,
Indifferently my love takes flight
As if I count for nought.

I know he will return to me
I feel no deprivation
For I've become accustomed
To my man's somnambulation.

Let be it.
The little bowl abandoning
the unreachable pink-light.
Ambrosia-
was searching a geometric center
of a smoking hub.

Flame-
of a bonefire was leaping
towards a topless tumbler.
The midriff
will spell a disaster.

A nomadic-
sleepwalker had become incandescent,
starts a prayer
for a condemned enemy.

My body was a river.
flowing-
on the impacted rocks of violence.
Was non-violence still relevant
in turbulent times ?

Give me some unreason today.
