Sleep Poems | Examples of Sleep Poetry

A picture perfect moment but at a stand still You can see and even feel a touch that isn't real Your thoughts and actions are well played out Waking up and remembering what it's all about Dreaming of past decisions and present regrets Making a big promise to someone you never met How often you see a person possessing no...

Where the pale moon's laying, Every tree flickers Her apple poison shading — Not every kiss is sweet, ~ Snow White ~ She's still chilled asleep my ties rise Where the pale moon's laying — Snow White Rise...

About scraggly eyes and itchy grass. You have to eat. I do, and the thought of food is scrunched up in my mind. Pizza, but it’s made of bubble wrap. Burgers, but it’s a...

Mama, why is it that you can't sleep well? Do you have insomnia coming on? What's keeping you up even though you're tired? Your husband who watches television half the day,  Your adult child who is packing up and moving away, Your young hyperactive child who likes to play, play, play, The ever present clutter all throughout the house, You set up...

Too small, for two of us. Wanting to run away, I was reluctant to stay here. Our pay checks did not reach far in those days, I had a place to rest my head. Needed more rent money, please rain dollars. Too small....

Anything but sleep. Fall over the steps. And invisible soup spilling everywhere. There’s a feeling of grappling. Eyes bulging. Anything but sleep. Money, crying, Mourning, Never snoring. Lying down. Can’t see much. Still awake though. Anything but sleep. Give me butterflies covered in slime. Or burning ears. Please give me… Anything but sleep. I might be immortal. And...
