alarm clock goes off

gotta go to work...

Unstoppable flow that ease this heart of mine
It lessens the weight that I carry
It helps my heart not be drowned of pain
It calms me then through snoozing...

It is a map
It is a riddle
It is a chase
It is a compass

It is in
It is out
It is in between
It is a diagram

It is coming
It is going
It is waking
It is snoozing...

It's not amusing
But very confusing
When your muse isn't musing
Simply refusing
To muse

It's not of my choosing
My mind I am losing
I'm constantly snoozing
My brain needs infusing
To muse...

Age is just a number, in my case, a dirty big number
As a young'un, thought old people needed a plunger
To keep things moving
In spite of the snoozing
Long as we're still able to jump out of our jumper...

Grasshopper and the ants were having a laid-back day
They did what they wanted, snoozing and snoring away
The meadow was breezily uplifting, sharing her grasses.
I like being here with my friends, the lads and the lasses....

While most Soupers are snoozing
    I'll be sitting in a shaky hut, shmoozing
 
  Half-wishing that I were warm and cozy inside
    Yet mostly glad to abide

    by the precepts of Sukkoth, which require
  me to live in that hut '24/7' ~ though not expire!...

Search'ng dandelions yearns int'rmittently 
Hoping with sudden startled jealousy 
And snoozing a loudly in ecstacy
Whilst summer sleeps quietly into shine
And morning sings with symphonic splendor
The sunshine closes into purple rays 
Reflections dancing across still water...

Winter's Aftermath


Soft snowy scapes sizzle sheets
           Romance bubbles in warm arms
                  Snoozing, Snuggling and kissing
                                         Brrr! Baby boom blasts!

My cat Jeff snuggles when I hit the hay

   He's strong-minded and always has his way

      He snores as I try to doze

         His whiskers tickle my nose

            I'm sleepless while he snoozes night and day

Still alone here
you still alone there,
pleasure I found in you
my peace, lost without you

the pains from a distance
snoozing amongst the guilt
the things you do _ for instance
casting down the castle _ we 
built.

you can’t live without care
can’t be without hurt
but at least a heart to bear
and a life of trust....

A very bad dog is our Scout.
Especially if food is left out.
If it's there he don't care,
Neither what, when nor where,
It soon finds it's way to his mouth.

He waits until no one is looking.
His keen nose can tell what you're cooking.
He makes sneak attacks,
When you turn your back,
Then pretends all the while he was snoozing....

Greatness is not just for the special,
It is nothing unique,
Nothing complex.
Greatness is people with courage,
It is passion put to work, 
It is inspiration.
Greatness is motivation,
Not snoozing the alarm is great,
Giving a stranger lift is,
Great is achieving the goal,
Greatness is living through pain.
It is not destiny,
But it is extraordinary.
Be smart.
Be noble.
Be you.
Be great....

warmly protected by the Sun Goddess
I sleep in the sun on my couch 
on my porch in the middle of God’s country

my dog and cat are snoozing at my feet
pretending they are not friends, butt to butt 
we are content, feeling loved 

watched over by deities who 
argue over who will take the next shift
so well loved we are content 

the queen of the porch growls
startling the king and I...

tequila worm faces dabble in Dali.

I depart for deeper woods,
take matches
to a snoozing clown—

watch moonbeams become the vortex of a raw swarm.

I must wait for pesky dawn roulette angels
to spin into black pockets,

try to hold these blurred poses of planet plentiful
as the sound of seventh son's tambourine
drifts from the hysterical sea

where Van Gogh's ear is a conch shell....

in the afternoon in the woods of prey
slept an owl, a dragon, and a bear named Ray
A squirrel and a boy came along this way
They were soon snoozing as was a girl named Fay

A fawn could not help it, she soon closed her eyes and lay
next to the sleeping tree on that snoozy whoozy windy day
a wily rabbit stopped hopping, and decided to stay
it was the best sleeping tree in the woods of prey...

Not wanting to nap is almost impossible today 
Sophie dog is older, a black cocker, and naps most of the time.
As I sit at my computer, freezing, she lies at my feet snoozing.
Each Z she cuts reminds me that curling up under covers sounds good.
School is cancelled, for we have four fresh inches of new snow.
My feet are freezing. Either I get on another pair of socks or
I curl myself around Sophie Dog and cut my own Z’s....

Searching for pot of gold  
Yearning in wishful, somnolent
Having vision with sudden 
Startled, stargazing, jealousy 
And snoozing, a loudly, in ecstacy
Whilst, summer sleeps, quietly into shine
And morning sings, with symphonic splendor
The sunshine closes into purple rays 
My mind reflections dancing 
Being moonstruck up in clouds  
Dreaming, building castles in air
In marvel, flight, fancy
Of summer pie in the sky...

And there was the youth, the age, the reflection;
Because all to one is two-
the success
of my happiness,
and the pitfalls of the others.

I don't wish for misery,
but I'm inclined to pass
toward the end.

Snoozing as underdog,
my nail beds burning
through my rotting scalp,
cheer me on, cheer us on.

Your wrinkles will tell cruelty pleasures,
Your eyes will carve out light
wrists locked back, head bowed.
There is no hiding in plain sight....

Life as we know it
Is spiralling out of control
It’s all become so precious
What will be the end goal?

Don’t say this ,don’t say that
Offence will be taken
Please don’t mention gender
As you could be very mistaken

Life’s no longer simple
Now totally confusing
Can’t afford to rest on your laurels
Or be caught snoozing

Next ,it will be ban the banter
No more jokes to be told
So we can all become robots
Totally controlled ….....
