love slept
as
rainbows wept
weeping willows
pillows tear depths
feathering clefts
landing softly
love slept
?
there once was a man who only slept
over him his family wept
he had had a great fall
now he cant move it all
in his dreams his thoughts are kept
sweet dreams of glory
sleep walker takes words at night
betrayed by the pen

Slept While Death Crept
Much of the day some people slept,
And end of their lives slowly crept;
Barely survive,
And still alive;
Now do appear at death's door step.
Jim Horn
Slept in today a rare occurrence
A morning person usually is my preference
Six thirty it is for me
Nine a.m. people worried
But here I am full of poop and exuberance
Young Rip Van Winkle
went to sleep leaning
his bicycle
against a tree,
when he woke up a hundred
years later he couldn't
get his bicycle free.

Slept When Life Swept
Slept when life was swept away with his broom;
Had been destroyed and destiny became doom;
Goes on,
Until gone,
And body they than did conceal in a dusty tomb.
Jim Horn
I Slept with a Female Mosquito – part VII
In the interim be quashed, my pangs
The process should be sore slow.
I will do it gallantly; wicked empire
I will kill her in small installments
Tick!
There she slept under the stars
By the trunk of the trees
She was not afraid
For they were with her
She did not see them
It did not matter
She slept bare
Without a care

She slept,
Snoring as women snore
- kind of like unicorns doodoo
She mumbled,
Speaking as women speak
- kind of like dwarfs debate
She tossed,
Turning as women turn
- kind of like trolls tango
Her sleeping breath
- kind of like dragons sneeze
Terror filled me ere I slept,
Horrors loomed behind closed eyes.
I recalled Your promise kept;
Darkest visions turned to peaceful sighs.

Fret not my friend for while you slept
Birds chirped and fish leapt.
Memories were made and promises kept.
People laughed and people wept.
Toward morning the sun slowly crept.
A new day is dawning so please accept.
All these things happened while you slept.
Mariposa lilies floated
cool white on the incandescent
embers of their core.
You shivered, pale as a silver
fever. 103 degrees. For days
you hallucinated Mercury.
Out here in sunshine, the world
has been spinning us dizzy.
Wake up and join the dance.
As you rested
Your weary eyes
I laid beside you
Staring at your face
Wondering if you
Dream of me
If you thought of me.
As the moonlight
Shone through your curtains
To brighten the room
It cast a shadow
On your face
I shed a tear
Then kissed your face.
.
The silhouette
her brow
her nose
her lips
her jowl
that neck
those shoulders
what peeked out of
the covers
what I watched
as she slept
in the pitch of night
I never forget the caves
within men.
The distant echoes
of their once giant voices.
Swallowed
and vomited back.
To strike you gently
in
the face.
It's cold in here
hidden from the sun
but watching it
outline
the cave mouth.
I can't taste
the warm.
It's too dark to sleep.
Love afore stept the Lord wept as He kept His oath
(This is a fictional poem)
I slept with Daffy Duck and I'm so ashamed.
Instead of making love to a woman, I made love to game.
I was drunk when we got in the sack.
He was so sexy because he was black.
When my girlfriend found out, she forgave me even though I'm a sinner.
She then shot Daffy Duck and served him for dinner.

slept over
sleep under
which'es castle
prince with queen
mothers means
whoms means
mean means
meaning
of
it all
create another sentiment
sentimental sentence silent
look into the looking in mine
eyes of eyes soul whole
cling from clung udone
get sung solo
wept clovers
slept over
sleep sleep
sleeping

?
Crept in, then disappeared without turning,
whispered directly, heard it slant.
Could it end with a mere discarded hair,
I pulled back like a cure.
Ghostly shameful perfume for
my sick self-pity, the desperate medium.
Hollowing nicks scream an invitation to possession.
Outside the electric lamp splatters sallow paint on rainy pavement,
which is utterly meaningless.

Found the abandoned misused tomb
Metallic and ancient it slept
Airstream trailer, silver bullet
I wandered the forest and wept
Found a rusted knife in the ash
Metallic and ancient it slept
A kitchen tool, left in the rain
It was just begging to be kept
Found a can of neon spray paint
Metallic and ancient it slept
I helped my siblings paint our barn
And at time’s end, away we crept
I had a dream that we had to say good-bye.
In it I kept begging for you to stay, but knew it wasn't what had to be
As I begged you to stay and cried at your feet you looked at me and I could see it's
not what you wanted
The look in you eyes as you waved good bye tore through my soul
As you moved away the pain grew to great and I awoke
You are gone my eyes are wet and I cried in my sleep
Form:
I dreamt of you as I slept last night
in the cool and quiet
of the full moon's light
I dreamt of you as we were there
young and carefree
as if dancing on air
I dreamt of how your lips kissed mine
and then once again
as our bodies entwined
I dreamt of you as it used to be
when I loved you so
and you so loved me
I dreamt of you and now you are gone
but I love you still
my love lingers on
Awaking from sleep in the still of night,
Distilled attention pure and receptive,
Bliss throb having attained zenith like height,
Our orientation meditative
Imbibes the elixir free of motive.
Doing nothing save simply allowing,
Presence devoid of resistance glowing,
Consciousness expanding spherically,
Magnetic resonance scintillating,
Blossoming thus unfolding magically.

But with a fury,
Sudden and harsh
Her loneliness seeps back in;
Reabsorbed through her cheek
that rested so tentatively upon him
Back through his chest where he had let her leave it
It turns her cheeks pale
as it settles somewhere in her lungs,
ratting around with each breath
A hollow noise
A harsh exhale, and it's out
Leaving her dizzy
The cloud of it hangs above her head
Where to put it now?
