Sleeps Poems - Poems about Sleeps

Hunger sleeps standing, leaning against time, Its door is ajar, wanting and waiting, for the fast to lift. Can't miss the hand-out when it comes, from one hand held-out giving, to one hand held-out receiving, both awake and aroused....

nestled in the lily of the valley leaves is baby swan He looks all cozy in the droplets of morning dew. I spied him secured there at daybreak, an April dawn What a pretty baby, his bill has a teensy touch of blue. He sleeps like all babies, content, knowing his mama’s love. He is snug and tidy in plants...

Beware the lion that walks in silence. He roars not in markets, nor chants in parades— He sharpens his claws beneath the rubble, And his vengeance waits in plain sight. O Israel, Do not live in yesterday's trumpet. David slew Goliath, yes— But not every stone shall fly again. The soil of Persia is ancient and proud, It has buried empires and baptized invaders. The...

A shadow walks where light won’t go, It knows your pace, your highs, your low. It copies truth, it mimics lies, Then slips away as daylight dies. It never sleeps, it doesn’t speak— Yet trails you close, quiet and sleek. You’ll never touch it, never quite— But still, it haunts the edge of light. ...

May loved her bedspread, vintage, fifty’s, yellow chenille Worn in many places, but it still had a magical feel She felt the presence of the former owner of the spread too An elderly lady who had lived to the ripe age of one hundred and two A guardian who advised May while she dreamed and slept Wish my own children...

[verse] My crazy sister had roamed homeless for so long. Once an intellectual, then her brain went wrong. For hospitals to keep her, she had to be a danger. A strange logic, but to reality they were a stranger. [chorus] Where does Brenda sleep tonight? On an underpass out of sight? In a doorway, or a city park? Seeing visions in the dark? [verse] One...

It was a a close call; Twas a misstep I almost fall; So call in misstep of winters night sun sleeps moonlit wakes; Despite of the rederick; I held on to the positives; Night to dawn: Shines so bright; Lightly drinks the fawn; So call in misstep of winters night sun sleeps moonlit wakes; In the dark sun sleeps; As the awaken moon soul dance; When...

What is in that mouse hole snoring away? The cat sneaked a peek and tiptoed that day Grabbed his owner’s phone and took a photo too. Of a snoring elf sleeping in a matchbook box of red and blue. The elderly elf had a scraggly beard, he was not fresh at all. He’s a teensy thing, the cat said “less...

While the world sleeps, three in the morn We’re grazed by flame of love Bliss becomes the crown we adorn God’s blessings from above Such is our claim to fame Call it by any name But we are not the same Magnetism leaps While the world sleeps...
