You came into my bed
The texture of the doona, what delight
We smashed the patriarchy
Lived on the commune
Gaia, Theia, the moon
Why don’t people say what they mean?
Tell me anything, you said.
and so I said it.
You laughed and went to bed
I sleep with ghosts
Who stand and watch
They don’t interfere
Just stand and stare
I don’t always see them
But I know they are there
They patiently wait until the time
When I will join them
Just standing there - watching.......

What war songs will you sing?
About the war that was to end all them?
Over There, Keep the Home Fires Burning,
When Johnny Comes Marching Home?
And next
The White Cliffs of Dover, I’ll Be Seeing You,
Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree?
Danced we fast and slow,
Where did the war songs go?
While we were sobbing goodbyes
To a new lullaby.
And now, will a new generation
Find no songs of hope are being penned?
Deadly scattered wars on global plains
Will you sing a song for these?
Where is the poet’s verse in song
Of these threatening days,
Wars and rumors of war
Without melody;
Without Verse
Without End
Silent
Pins on maps, pins on maps.
Sleep with me here,
Stay by my side,
No sun or any light can hurt our eyes,
We'll be alright.
Take my hand,
Hold on to me tight.
You are my heart,
We will be warm tonight.
Pull my body close to yours.
Let me take in your scent.
I want to feel your warmth against me.
This will be a comfortable night.
Sleep in this coffin forever.
We shall always be together.
No one can bother us,
for we are apart of the dead.
Sleep with a producer, - and for sure, after,
Become a greatest actress, and no other way!
And what to do a male, who want to be an actor,
Who not a talented and he not yet a gay?
Sleep with the moon
Visit the morning star
You own the sky
Knock on heaven's door
Thank you guru bob dylan
SLEEP WITH THIS SKY
I want to make love to you underneath Aurora's dance,
beneath the vail of pink and green that flutters, not by chance.
I want to trace your supple lips while clouds boil from afar,
and while entwined by your sweet kiss and neath Capella's star.
I want to hear thunder boom while you whisper in my ear,
fall stone deaf, to lightening crash, and darling words of cheer.
I want to swim twixt sky and earth and splash in our red clay,
to taste that you will linger here and vow that you will stay.
I want Aurora's curtain light to sway upon our thighs,
and take two souls in one to sail, in wispy midnight flies.
I want the comets' shower, in a brilliant cosmic storm,
to ride us hard in splendid fall, and paint Monet in form.
I want the smear of white starlight and earth against our skins,
to trust our joyful loving in the shadow of the Twins.
If we should wake, to our own quake, but languid in a dream,
then our time here, might disappear, but hold us in its stream.

Today I will sleep with the light on
The dark in my mind doesn't want to see any more dark
Today I will sleep with the light on
I have to block my mind from thinking. ..anymore
Today I want to sleep with the light on
And not see the shadows in the dark
I don't want to feel any ants crawling on me
I want to sleep in the light and wake up in the light
I want to wake up to the beating of my heart, ready to make another record for the day
All I want is to be with you
Baby that is a fact
You know I want to sleep with you
One day we will do that
Until then I am satisfied
With fantasizing 'bout
What it's like to enjoy the ride
Before I turn you out
Incurable insomnia had perturbed my eyes
Negligence had destroyed your hopes too
You were drenched by a heavy shower of sadness.
Till My bare lustrous skin approached your hours
Your hands gradually caressing my dynamic curves
Long black curls had fallen on your shoulders
The ecstacy of my passion reached its final hours
Emotions ran down to my neck
You were drugged by a blissful kiss
Isolation was broken with this union .
Endless nights spent in your arms
Loneliness was ravaged by the kingdom of happiness
I slept in your deep tranquil eyes .
Till the moonlight disappeared in the lonely sky .
This rapturous dream was beautiful and true
Can I really sleep with you ?
As you lay your head to sleep
May you have Angels at your feet
To watch over you all night long
Singing softly Angelic songs
May they hold you in Heavenly light
When all is dark, take away all fright
From all monsters and things unseen
May you feel the brush of Angels wings
So say your prayers and go to bed
And know there is nothing here to dread
For God has sent from up above
Special Angels so full of love
Sleep with Angels, love
Flaming heat of
lust
surrounds the both
of you
Even while the
rain is falling outside
the fires still glow within
If you want to continue
You must make some
concessions
Straight or gay
it matters little
All that matters is
that two spirits have
touched
Does the mind control the
body?
Or is it vice-versa
I am betting on the latter
Well, whomever you sleep
with
I wish you peace
