Premium Member Sleeping With a Plastic Enemy
Looking back, it seems I've made a giant plastic nest. Plastic cars -plastic totes- plastic toys plastic guns- plastic utensils-plastic boats plastic bags- plastic easter eggs-plastic remotes. Plastic Jesus hanging from a plastic cross a plastic grimace on his perfect plastic face. I've fallen hard for plastics so cheap and practical no more slivers of glass in the soul It's really God like it's an...

Deeply Sleeping
Chorus I'm deeply sleeping while she's breathing; two breaths mixing, two hearts beating. Verse I The wintry night totally dark and cold embraces us, it can never make us shiver; we keep warm and feel behind delighted each heartbeat measures a minimal fear. Verse II The many secrets of past loves remain inside, we've buried all evidence, too afraid to reveal any of them that...

As You Were Sleeping
The clouds are torn down they're hers as they mist where pillow seeps; where dark, no woman sleeps for she's knotted a cruel twist in female sheets — secret fingers long where short the dreams Eyes nestle a phantom or a tree — shut closet, my innermost girl has me wafting above her keep — ...

The Clouds of Mount Everest - may you ever rest
Flapping without flying. It feels okay. Your scales of fur corrode. A foul, but sweet, but warm, but damp... Scent of something new. You're red and blue tomorrow, Yellow, pink, today. But forever, I'd say grey. You're white, dirtied, pure. Once lost, but now at home. If invaders must die, Make yourself the furniture. You can stain my doormat red, So you can see me before we part. And...

Premium Member Sleeping Beauty
I remember the days when I'd fall asleep before hitting the pillow. Ah, the joy of a sound sleep. I might not have been at my best in the morning all things considered. Day-old makeup very much past its prime. My eyelashes were caked and looking scraggly, my lipstick smeared across my cheek and pillow, eyeshadow streaked clear across my forehead. Thankfully one good...

Premium Member Consciousness Sleeping
Waking up through the night really can't sleep Mind is wondering fast, and everything is so deep Staring at the dark, your body is laying still Everything becomes silent, and the picture becomes clear The distinct level of conversation that's within yourself Is a mirror of a reflection from the mind calling for help To stare into your consciousness with...

Premium Member Waking up early steals your sleep, but sleeping too long steals your peace
Waking up early steals your sleep, but sleeping too long steals your peace, Like a morning thief leaving shadows in place of unfulfilled dreams, Movement makes you feel pain in your muscles, but stillness weakens you, Like a stone statue crumbling under the weight of time, without motion. Earning money requires time and effort, but lacking it steals your...

Premium Member As I watch you sleeping there
As I watch you sleeping there, seventy years of living etched into your silvery-gray hair, I feel my love for you as deeply and as much as I did that night when you first let me touch your exquisite beauty, here, there, and everywhere....

Premium Member Yesterday's Perfume
Gone are the rhythms of your body As you lay beside me sleeping, Hair cascading across our pillow, With your arms so soft and warm. Our cold wrinkled sheets rest half empty, Save for yesterday’s perfume. ...

The Curse of Thorns
hush, sweet child, your fate is spun the blackened threads have just begun upon your brow a crown may gleam but dark things stir beneath the dream a spindle waits, a thorn’s caress a single drop—no more, no less and when it falls, so shall you sleep where shadows coil and secrets creep no lover’s kiss, no mother’s tear no whispered prayer shall reach...

Premium Member Sleeping Without You
One of the hardest things in my life I've had to do is having to go to bed alone, learning to sleep without you. This bed of ours we shared now always feels so damn cold. I don't recall it being this way when I had you to hold. All the emptiness surrounding me refuses to let me get any sleep and causes my heart...
