The Man Who 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

Slept While Death Crept

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.

Slept When Life Swept

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.

I Slept With a Female Mosquito - Part Vii

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!

Premium Member She Slept

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

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

Premium Member Terror Filled Me Ere I Slept

Terror filled me ere I slept,
Horrors loomed behind closed eyes.
I recalled Your promise kept;
Darkest visions turned to peaceful sighs.

While You Slept

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.

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.

While You Slept

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.

Premium Member As She Slept

.

       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

Slept

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.

Lazarus slept

Love afore stept                                                                                                                              the Lord wept as                                                                                                                                  He kept His oath

I Slept With Daffy Duck

(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

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.

Metallic and ancient it slept

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

Wept While I Slept

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

As I Slept

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

Premium Member Who Toiled While We Slept

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.

Where Loneliness Slept

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?
