Jove Wakes

Cold waxing crescent 
settles in the west, 
an Islamic smile 
over natal night.
Behind us Jove wakes
and rises.

Child In Mother Wakes

Rocking wooden horse
                                        flourishing guffaw of kid

Premium Member War Wakes You Up

War is misunderstood
Unless you are serving 
Then it is real

War is sad
No matter what side you are on
Anguish for many

War wakes you up
And shakes you up
Leaving you a different person

Gentle Wakes, Violent Waves

You must never disturb a woman
when she is taking her beauty rest 
while floating ashore on gentle wakes
or else she will transform
into a human hurricane
with lots of violent waves
surging right back at you

Coffee Wakes Me Up

Coffee wakes me up
to my surroundings,
wearing bunny slippers
to keep my feet warm as
caffeine provides a lifeline
to my senses internally,
notifying me to quit
yawning and be alert
to face the day with gusto.

As Morning Wakes

As morning wakes with skies of blue and breezes flowing free Still every thought I think is you and what you mean to me I witness summer twilight scenes where sunset ribbons sway Though none of these can fill my dreams the way you do each day Good morning Soupers

Till Mom Wakes Up

i messed up
and almost lost my soul
but on the verge of breakin down
i found hope
somehow
i won't be lonely when i get old
cuz i feel her warmth
in a cold day

tonight i lay my head to sleep
but in the morning
i'll make so much noise
and rise from obscurity
till mom wakes up
and sing in applause.

Premium Member Poetry Wakes Me

Poetry wakes me from my dead dreams.
I am like a woman who has been entombed.
My eyes pop open in a vampire-ish way.
My arms stretch out of my coffin bed.

What do you want? I ask Poetry.
Irritated, I look around in the dark.
Where is he? Where did he go?
Giving me only the last line again. I hate that!

Premium Member Before the World Wakes

Willows bend over a celadon lake, 
                              Like village women in dawn’s stealthy light, 
                                Rinsing their hair ere the daffodils wake, 
                             And birds crochet the air with chorus bright, 
                             ‘Neath a lone cloud turning gossamer white.

He Wakes Me Up

He wakes me up
With a kiss so cold
It makes me jump
His mind is bold

We play these games
No fun they are
Me he blames
It’s gone too far

The world spins
We’re gonna die
He who grins
Will not fly

The heavens above
Won’t let us in
We see a dove 
And fake a sin

The world we leave,
We leave behind,
Nothing to grieve,
New life to find

Premium Member Dawn Wakes Nature

Dawn wakes nature; gold sun I see.
In orange sky it rises bright
with radiance enchanting me.
Dawn wakes nature.

Peeking down, sun shimmers its light.
There is a river running free
where birds are floating – a sweet sight.

As if it heard King Sun’s decree,
one bird, wings spread, prepares for flight
to follow river to the sea.
Dawn wakes nature.

Premium Member The Ghost Writer Wakes Me

The ghost writer wakes me
From a very sound slumber
She gives me a title to write 
To write down on paper
I awake at an odd hour
To write my title down
On a sheet of paper
By my bedside table 
Then I go back to sleep

When I am ready -I look
At the title I have written 
I stare at the title 
Then an idea comes 
To form my poetry
To write my title down
I create my poetry

The Morning Wakes

The morning wakes the sound of birds
The trees are flooded with delight
The poet search his heart for words
To bid farewell to sultry night

The dew hangs fresh upon the grass
Baptising my tired fevered feet
I am come home to love at last
Hibiscus and the jasmines sweet

Go stars, go, pale in his bright light
I only need one Sun to guide
One armour for the final flight
When the moon brings the promised tide.

My Morning Coffee Wakes Me Up For Day

My morning coffee wakes me up for day

my morning coffee
wakes me up for day
as a drink my brew
thinking of my life 
and my dreams came true
ever since met my wife 
that day back in the day
when she came to life

38 years ago
she walked into life
drinking my hot brew 
she made my life go 
I fell into love  
it is all I know 
that day began life
she became my wife

She Wakes In Sunrises

When the sunrise sips on an open sky,
She is skipping by.
I've not ever heard her sweet song before but she was there when dawn birds arose, 
With a sweet lullaby.
A babies cry was never sweeter.
And even though the duet of her and the birds,
Built with notes of the most delicate memory,
May drift away with the distant clouds in the sky,
She will always be the most beautiful sunrise our hearts have come by.

What Wakes Me Everyday

the thing that wakes me everyday 
is knowing i fall in your arms
that impatient kiss wanting yours
the strong connection of bond

the thing that wakes me everyday
is knowing you'll be there again
exchanging the love we share
our everlasting love affair

the thing that wakes me everyday 
is the chance to experiment
to see if this is real 
ending us is the last thing i do
the reason i wake everyday
is because of you

Morning Wakes the Day

mornings wakes the day
Morning comes and wakes the day
to new beginnings coming
refreshed enraptured in its way
we rise to face today

Receding changing flow
over head within the sky
through soaring joys in play 

Sea clouds converging
within the twilight's sun
mists of fog retreating 
brings the light we need

Found life’s wondering's 
in spoken hearts we stood
the tests of times did speak
moved within its progress forming

Joy

Dawn sings with the birds
As we stamp the earth at our wake
No one feels amazed at never waking
Who fixes it's emptiness with food
Smoke it's sausages and enjoy it's delicacies
Joy Sparks in every mind
Sweeps every dirt away
Smoothens all edges
Blends every corner of regret
And lots the candle again
Where merriment abounds
A smiling face at dusk
Peaceful heart
Calm and sound mind
Contagious atmosphere
Filling all creature in wonder

New Dawn Wakes You Up

V-ery well as you sleep
I-n the middle of the night; 
L-ight above early at dawn 
M-akes everything
A-right.

C-old chill has disappeared, 
A-t dawn fourteenth May; 
A-wake in the morning, 
S-unshine bathes
I-ts day.

P-leasant feeling is in you
E-ach and every daybreak; 
R-elieving the nightmare, 
D-enying the hurt and ache.
I-t's a very deep slumber, 
G-iving not just a simple nap; 
O-pen your eyes now, 
N-ew dawn wakes you up.

Coffee's Intoxicating Smell Wakes Me Up

Coffee’s intoxicating smell wakes me up 

coffee’s intoxicating smell wakes me up
filling me with hope and joy
as a I drink deeply
filling my self with smell
the sent of sweat as heaven
darkly hinting of hell as well 
filling my every fiber of my being
with its intense smell and flavor
driving me mad with anticipation
as I smell the fragrance brewing
in my coffee pot 
waiting waiting waiting
for it to be ready
for me to consume my daily drug
