Short Somnolent Poems

In insular cocoons
      lie sleepy heads curled

    Can a deluge of death
      rouse a somnolent world...

IMPULSE #5


Dynamic yet static
Glimpses beyond fantastic


Fleeting times trouble toil
Secret somnolent spoils

Woke up,
Consumed
Bukowski
Collection of poems.
9: 01 AM
Somnolent wife lies 
Awakening
To my left,
Relives me her dream.
Teenage son sleeps party 
In another room.
Outside it rains,
God is in the house....

draught of somnolent disdain breath 
in dehydrated well of pain
fortified dam hides tears
wailing rains ruin all
barricades broken in flash flood 
debris of deluge everywhere .

The dawn is fragrant with a ruby rose,
the sunset smells as somnolent as blue 
night violets... In fragrance they compose
its head and tail but heart belongs to you.

soothe is an abyss I cannot seem to climb down into.

when I realize I am comfortable I feel uncomfortable .

calamity 

is all my body knows.

this little blue “calming” pill

does little but make one somnolent.

sleep deprivation is torture?

then I am my own castigator...

Moment to moment cognisant
Awareness, self-aware
Stupor would have us somnolent
Entrapped in ego snare

Desires driven away 
Stillness shows us the way
Serene, through night and day

Heightened bliss quotient  
Moment to moment

Down the dying corridor of time

 the incarnation forms,
 evil materializing...............
Monster with your hooded sight,
somnolent eyelids,
flutter feathery desire,
love writhes
in rending hands,

Sky pregnant with stars
                                           Over somnolent village
                                            Looks sick and pallid.
                                       Sun should not rise so early
                                      When mother is in deep sleep....

Lolling about, down by the lake 

Just watching the clouds scudding by.

Surrounded by fells, a vision of heaven,

There is no one as happy as I.

I hear little waves lapping the shore,

With hypnotic rhythm, they sing.

In somnolent bliss I happily drift,

Lost in the mood that they bring....

Dancing to creolizing rhythms
singing salty re-ligioned rhymes,
nature’s nurturing nutritious reasons
sexy summer follows spurting spring
before falling into winter’s restoring peace 
somnolent sultry hibernations

Dream dancing 
fertile heart-song seasons
reweaving sinfully sensational 
ecstatic freedoms....

One dispensation full of grace
As gothic as my savior’s face
A trenchant shadow of the things
That law and grace can only bring
Christ in sorrow tempted me
From sin to splendor’s twinkling
A romance of such perilous times
Yet time itself is not the crime
Somnolent souls my Savior guides
Through thralldom to the gospel light...

day releases dusk-
streaming stars settle in sonorous susurration;
the grey glazed moon bows his subtle head,
and all the somnolent constellations shine...shine for me

You could tell by her sublime attitude
That something ineffable just happened.
Her smile was incandescent.
She had just received a crystalline 
necklace.
Her face even more radiant than before
Everything around her was sonorous, 
but indide she was serene. She was very enchanted by the necklace
That she became very
somnolent and soon fell asleep...

Mind over matter,
Explore life's taverns;
Trust can engender,
A lonely cavern;
Play with full measure,
Hoist funny feelings;
Open life's treasures,
Reach borders fleeting;
Sense somnolent daze.
Sounds that now betray,
Urgent sure amaze
Ripe readings defray;
Give in to stillness:
Exit loneliness.

In its’ drinking of the rain,
Pelted epidemically, absorbed
Of heaven’s thoughts and earthworm prayer;
The colours thaw in rivulets
On slate and brutish stone wash,
Sunk into a crab grass savoir faire.

In its’ sucking of the sun,
Copper hammer beaten, reflects
On somnolent years and rainbow gleams;
A child may brush the surface,
Deposit trace genetic evidence,
Forensics of some past and future dreams…...

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...

LAZY AFTERNOON

Heady with scented freshness,
The drowsily flowing river
Glides through a sun-skimmed 
Summer's simmering day - 

As outpoured wine to be savoured,
Together with the static, fevered tones
Of a hot, unquenchable breeze,

Slow-meandering in its languid state,
Unhurried by the lazy afternoon's stillness,

Spent in the somnolent embrace
Of a weighted, swaying hammock,
Where the beat of time seems suspended....

You make me think and imagine candles.
Of beach fires and fireflies, 
Thunderstorms and lightning dancing all over the sky.
Rain pattering on cliffs nearby,
Creating somnolent echoes of days gone by.
You make me smile, you tell me-
"wet and slippery goes on inside."

Isn't it marvelous how contradictory we can be;
Something about you, something deep inside.
A flame inside you, something so alive. 
something that flickers, I see it in your eyes.

Bamboo pines sway
Cold winds slide
Rain on the way
Moist air glides


Old moon gate arc
Cold breeze blows
Wet rain drops mark
Moist air glows


The sudden rush
Shelter sought
Rainy moods brush
Wet report


Rain can now fix
A wet form
Moisture can mix
Aqueous norms


Bamboo trees wet
Cold clear squeeze
Weather now sets
Cold cold breeze


By my window
See this show
Wet afterglow
Sleepy flow

In a secluded forest glade
 the interplay of light and shade,
 as sunlight filters through the trees.
 Gives rise to pleasant fantasies.
The muted light has qualities 
which redefine realities
I’m half convinced that I must be 
submerged beneath a sunlit sea.
Here somnolent as in a trance
I watch the mermaids stately dance
 a sight which fills me with delight
I know it’s just a trick of light.
But I don’t care I’m happy there.
Reality cannot compare.

depth of scintillating eyes twitching just to see my barren soul-
your hands MELT over my body as you kiss my somnolent nape;
for my zenith has been met ~ a vestige of your  s i l h o u e t t e  ~
(embracing evocative dawn before the lithe of dusk)

-Somnolent Sun-  

As the sun sets, into
a somber crimson sky,
radiant beauty shines down
on those who cannot fly.
Inspiration gleaming at this 
moment caught in time,
creating a soothing memory,
instilled within my mind.

Filling the Earth with the 
warmth of her heart, 
while setting away, 
committed to her part.
She slowly fades behind
the horizons of the bay,
with promises of return,
for another day.
