Touch -me- not -plant

Oh, touch -me-not plant,                                                   

Grey Days

Somber light slants through the window.
The sun lazes behind blankets of clouds.
Grey skies are all I see.
A tranquil yet almost uneasy atmosphere
rests over everyone.
No one dares to shrug it off.

Today is a day for soft musing and true thoughts, 
it's sobering and uplifting at the same time.
There will be no more doubts by the end

Spring Hiku 9

      Spring Hiku 9

 spring sun sets down
	
           sleepy wrens dream in their   n e        t s
              

In a New York City minute

another weekday
she awakens
to the sunrise aroma of
preset coffee brewing

her eyes still closed
she thinks about her day
and slowly starts to form
thoughts in her head

so much to do
so little time
a jolt of java
revs up the engine

give her a minute
she'll come to life
another sip
and there it is

it's all systems go!

Somewhere in a Kyoto hanamachi

pretty geisha in early morning
needs motivation
to open her lovely eyes
and get on with her day

Sleepy Daydream

I have been floating these days, 
in between thoughts, 
in between words. 
I have been grateful, 
and sick to my stomach at the unfairness 
of it all. 
Constellations strung together by invisible
threads pull me back together, 
they place my bare feet gently back on 
soft grass. 
My, I have no idea of what I am

Sleepy senoritas with the eyes on fire

Cause:


my great grandma was "Hispanic" (Puerto Rican), my slight tan will put me in that cast of ugly characters, 'Crayola American's' to be  shipped across the Mexican border, but I don't mind.

Springtime Gardens

"Gardens must now go to sleep until spring comes back around." Quote By Poet

Springtime is coming with the sleepy flowers awaking.

It’s the morning of a different day—who knew there’d be another?
Lisa and I went on our harbor jog @ 5am—that’s nothing new.
It was, like 44°—we’re enjoying fall’s cold, refreshing bite.

Anyway, my mind wasn’t on it and I nearly stumbled over
a chunk of dark, uneven roadway, made invisible by its function.
Charles, jogging beside me, wordlessly managed

Always Sleepy

I am always sleepy till I lie down
than sleep is nowhere to be found
Close my eyes and lay still
clear my mind and just chill
But slowly my eyes peek open again
insomnia seems to always win
Get up and walk the floor
yawn a little than some more
Turn on the TV and let the glow
nod me off with boring

Sleepy Sunday

It is hard to be enthused when you realize your team sucks.
wasting a long evening witnessing that very fact
Next year will be better the season just started
next year never comes just the perpetual pain of losing
While everyone else improves and wins and reaches new zenith
your team stuck in the doldrums  of gut wrenching disappointment
You

sleepy time

stars keep watch over 
small critters lightly sleeping  
until morning light

Time for bed , sleepy head

Our tummy's full and plates licked clean.
Its time to put away your screens.

Bath time first. 
Brush your teeth.
Pjs on for bedtime please.

choose a book you like to read, mummy listens carefully.
snuggle in, nice and cosy, laughing at the bedtime story.

 The sun has gone, your lamp switched on,  
 ill softly sing our goodnight

My Sleepy Repose

 I was in a slumber repose,
so tired-  I wanted to rest:
then, a guitar vibrating grows,
I love the twanging of my guest;
bringing feeling that I repressed !

The tune is a dreamy cajole,
an enticement and seduction:
the music speaks love to my soul,
I sigh for my love's destruction;
recall our introduction !

I am in a place misty
