We Pass out Every NightDiving deep in the pond of the sub-consciousness
I die every night, you die every night too
This is our way of rejuvenating the body
This may sound crazy, eerily or even spooky,
However, this is absolutely or definitely true
Our body makes a special trip to correct the mess
Which takes place from a certain time to the other
We die...

Night Attire
Spoke to a bloke
from Blighty
whose wife
wouldn't wear a nightie
when she rolled over
he told me
her ankles were tangled
then turned back
her throat strangled
all the more
'I can't retire' she said
so instead she wore
bloomers to bed

We Die A LittleWe die a little bit
Each day and each night
As we live every minute
Gleeful or glum under the light.
We die in our sleep
And rise again if we’re lucky
And blessed. This is deep
Few people are truly canny or savvy.
Believe not in all the glitters
When it’s time to go or to depart
Gravity behaves like deadly creatures.
We die every...

0800 222 9911Have you ever been
haunted (no you have not)
by a ghost from the future not even born yet
in your paper thin realm
trolled from a time post human extinction
it could only happen to you so-called
dead in your grave still tossing and turning
& scratching like a deviant
moldering and unquiet one hundred years now
and the whispers yes whispers from

In the Silence of Night
As the last of the day’s clouds disappeared,
The moon, like a guard, boldly appears.
Shining her soft glow over everything
in a single sweep.
Tired souls miss it all, for in the
silence of the night, tired souls crave sleep.
Flickering and dancing like fireflies, thoughts unfurl,
Some into nightmares and some
into dreams,
Tired souls become entangled in a...

One Night In Venice'twas 'pon a Venice 24-hour layover, when two male members of our airline crew had quite the separate, yet different, adventure.
Flight attendant Number One, who speaks Italian, thought it would be fun to fly his drone in St. Mark's Square... it was fun at first, until he was arrested for doing so.
The drone was confiscated...

From the depths of forgotten sleep, the shadows of unknown dreams riseFrom the depths of forgotten sleep, the shadows of unknown dreams rise,
On the paths of the night, our steps are guided by nameless stars,
In the cosmic silence, the whispers of destiny that traverse us are heard,
Every hidden thought becomes a window to the inner light.
Through forests of memories, the heart seeks its way to clear...

Why Is Child Heartbroken"The pen must go where the pen wants to go. Today it went down Heartbroken Lane." By Poet
The day came in with a great start
but is going out with a broken part.
With a child's loving and young heart,
it must take a very painful dart.
today I lost my furry best friend,
in life guess some things have...

COUNTING SHEEPCOUNTING SHEEP
Mike the mouse tossed and turned in his bed
with visions of furry sheep in his head
but instead of sweet dreams
he heard their loud screams
as they chewed on his favorite bread.
So if you can’t sleep, take a cue
from Mike, his sheep, and all the ewes.
Just laugh and don’t fret,
You'll find no regret,
For dreams can be...

LightSleep, little baby Aaru,
Tonight
the sky writes your name
in light.
You will blaze.
You will scatter
joy like seeds.
You will be
the light
that makes
darkness dance....

Chasing SleepIn the midst of grief
I find myself chasing sleep
I have tried sleepy time teas
and kitty cuddles to please
help me lasso the moon
and find some sleep soon
but no, it evades
and I feel like I will fade...

The Snorthog
To date the snorthog
has only been seen
late at night in the bedroom
disturbing me and my dreams
first he hogs the bedclothes
then snorts up a storm
while I lie awake
counting sheep
trying to keep warm
but before I become
a grumbly old grouch
there is yet one solution
have him sleep on the couch
