Premium MemberSleepwalking Through the Day

       Sleepwalking through the day
          there’s a heavy price to pay

       Tapping into feelings within her
          opportunity gone-a-glimmer

Premium MemberThe Sleepwalking Sensation


George walked by us neighbors one night.
Our husbands were shocked at the sight, 
    for this uncouth dude
    was lewd, crude, and nude.
We wives tried to hide our delight.

The angry men yelled, “Hey, you freak!" 
Oblivious, George didn't speak. 
    He stared straight ahead

Sleepwalking

I find myself becoming more and more distracted.
Taking a sheet of paper and tearing off the corner.
Then tearing off the torn part again.
I remember that time…
It’s like when…
I find myself becoming more and more distracted.
Like footprints spaced farther and farther apart.
In the corner of my eye, I’m-
Leaning against the counter and the
counter is sinking into

Sleepwalking through the void of the unknown

I can’t breathe it is killing me. It’s so I can see is this void happening below me I can’t wake up that’s a trap from the void

I can’t wake up and start this over. Wake me up and give me a reason to start again. And this isn’t adding up anymore. It’s in my

Sleepwalking

Am I aware of who I am?
Or just an animal, following after my next meal
Sleepwalking
If all I do is what I’m told
Am I really alive at all?
Sleepwalking
Guiding me in the night
Chasing after the next meaningless goal
Sleepwalking
One step at a time
Until something wakes me up
From this daytime nightmare
Sleepwalking
Until I awake
And break free from everything known

Sleepwalking

Saša Milivojev - SLEEPWALKING

Silent
The Skies are silent
The Moon awakes me
The Night gently embraces me
You are no longer on the shore
Where with salt ourselves we smeared
Dreamed and to the Sea we used to croon
Oh, my Beloved,
Unfold
For me the stairs of the Moon
Plush toys I shall scatter
Down our dunes of sand
The memories are calling me
Wait for me

Premium MemberSleepwalking Descending a Staircase

The radiant girl looks down submissive

A smile that's flirtatious, not aggressive

She suddenly lurches forward

Fell onto the floor awkward

Facedown nude waking up delusive

Sleepwalking

My brothers & sisters are sleep walking

and soon will wake up and notice

that they’ve overslept.

Rushing to put on their Sunday best

bursting through the door &

running for salvation

but by the time they reach the gate

you find that the gentiles have taken your place

Perhaps your salvation is corrupt.

They have no intent on saving us

Fools cannot feed you

Premium MemberA Sleepwalking Dream

Life seems surreal, a sleepwalking dream;
caught in an alternate reality.
And at times, you question your sanity;
sandwiched between hype and hyperbole.

Lies grind you down till you're insensitive
to the pain and suffering of others.
And you don't speak out with indignation,
for babies, pried from the arms of mothers.

The internet offers a disconnect,
where individualism gets erased.
And replacing feelings with

Premium MemberSleepwalking

Slow wave sleep stage in a state of

Low consciousness with

Eyes wide open, as if awake,

Even though make no mistake, if

Performing activites

With normal energies 

Appear with glazed expressions

Likewise make no suggestions.

Known causes unknown...

Inherited or environmental zone.

Nothing like alcoholic blackout...

Generally, eating or sexual workout

Sleepwalking Ultimatium

Dear Mary for many years a roving painter,
sadly now her memory has grown fainter.
Her top echelon family struggled to find,
someone to corral her wandering mind.
After a letter was sent  by best rest home.
Please confine your mother to bed at night,
Her neighbours have complained in fright.
of white clad midnight door knocking,
Yelling and banging on windows

Premium MemberVisions of Family While Sleepwalking

As dusk floats on  a garden strip
Time replays an unspoken dream,
Where jasmines press upon my lip 
Lens closed, these warm hands fling upstream.

With mist adrift, I prance   arise
As dusk floats on a garden strip…
Hours stay, then dash like a firefly
Leaving me to hunt for old ties.

This walk of sleep imbues moon’s tip
Enthralled

No Longer Sleepwalking Through Life

Sun rising, sent its ever enlightening rays
soft as a child's sweet kiss, sharp as a razor knife,
waking from decades of blinded and useless days
message of Light cried, "Stop your sleepwalking through life"
With newfound revelation, new spirit thus born
felt was earth shattering, as waves of power came
echoes then felled, mountains of saddest

Premium MemberHe Had Been Sleepwalking All His Life

They said he was guiltless of sin.
He’d been sleepwalking all his life!
And this was the state he was in
when he murdered his “precious” wife.

His defense with big holes seemed rife.
For instance, his spouse he’d abused.
He’d been sleepwalking all his life
was the argument they still used.

To prison he didn’t get sent
though twenty times he’d plunged that

Sleepwalking

-  When you feel like your in a trance 
baby things tend to get bad 
  The way you feel and think 
Determine you daily decisions ,drained or demise 
  You've got to understand 
That you live in the present 
  Hey , that's now my friend 
Stop acting like nothing
