As He Slumbers

He sleeps like a koala from seven to eleven.
While I'm here simply left waiting and wondering just when
Is the specific time that I can even speak to him again.

Shy Pink Faerie Slumbers

shy pink faerie slumbers
baby badgers lying on her dress
guarded by spotted fawn and twin bunnies
puffy lavender mushroom cluster stands guard
gorgeous turquoise sky full of diamonds smiles

She Slumbers

There she slumbers, 
Under the grey skies, 
Knitting her black and whites, 
Into a tune 
or 
Call it a remedy,
Medicine for subliminal tragedies, 
She is not gentle, 
but fierce, 
Painting her masterpiece 
As she rehearse, 
Strength is the synonym, 
Risking on the surface, 
The fear of being uncontained, 
The pain endured Moment by moment, 
To hold a life inside- Too affluent.

Awakening Slumbers

AWAKENING SLUMBERS

reflect
stark constraints
  highlight
the
stillness
 a contemplation
    a synthesis
evolving
   silhouetted
 vaguely
 transcending
experience
   of reality

 a repetitive rhythm
to emphasis
   the options
      in a poetic
   dimension

scintillating 
giving
    stark relief
saturated
  & allusive
oblique in
 transition
to influence
 the ascendant

 impetuous
interplay
   devolved by the
organic
slight& aslant

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

Lights and Numbers

Lights & Numbers
David J Walker

When he said
Think ahead
I think he was 
Thinking of numbers

What I heard
(Silly nerd)
Was seamless dreams
In vivid colors of
Visions in
Slumbers

As the night 
	Lumbers 
alone
Into 
	Tomorrow
Morning

When numbers are 
Subtracted from
The meaning of dreams

And the deep sleep of
dreams is over

Elizabeth Slumbers

Jazz piano scale skip quick notes implore me
Siphon symphony verve blurred by saxophone sass
Floated lilly pad leap frog spring legged surety
Splats on brass buttoned soldiers dedicated amass


Bulbous glass swirl burgundy grape stem bitter 
Absorbs oak barrel sentiment, forested persuasion 
Ace praise expires, a swiftly swallowed splinter
Comical dive antics of cork fragmenting abrasion


Dissolving Elizabeth, shabbily written character
Simmered limply submissive, a nouveau improvisation
Vat of pursuit poured by Stu picks a passenger
Chords hover mahogany piano cascade syncopation 


Composition three minute summit misconstrue
Violins textured crescendo vibrates bow tight strings
Apron strewn, Libby leaves her rolling pin askew
Butter heart hails harmony a true companion brings





           22nd January 
     Stu calls me Jasmine

Summer Slumbers

summer slumbers on
beneath a cool gray blanket
squirrels preen their tails

When Dearest Muse Slumbers

If is posted such a popular number
  (as 'Time for a Break')
when dearest muse slumbers
  I may try something to numb her
    ~ My conscience unencumbered...

Of course, now she's fully awake
  I can no longer be a snowflake
She's back from her resort on the lake
   ~ Time for a poetic outbreak

Where My Angel Slumbers

In the ruins of a castle,

Lives a dark and dusty love,

A single white feather,

Has fallen from above.


The dawn it lights his footsteps,

Stardust across the floor,

The single white feather,

It lies there no more.


The dawn has surrendered,

And dusk has won the fight,

His angel she now slumbers,

In his arms tonight.

Snowy Slumbers

sleeping snow slumbers
frolicking forests frosting
wondrous winters white

Poesie Slumbers

poesie slumbers
quietly breathing
swathed in white noise 
deep in reverie

poesie trances
in an English garden
picture windows
take after an Anglian sky

poesie rolls over
on freshly cut grass 
hedged in by Japanese Quince
the color of wild things waking

poesie sighs deeply
someone's pestering
a spiny shrub grows taller
a pond furthermore darkens

poesie tosses and turns
throws back the covers
lavender makes its entrance
into a parasoled cottage

poesie shivers 
someone's cuddling
icy rain babbles against the leadlights
like a lot of raucous stones

poesie comforts
between loud mirth
and crushing sadness
fluffy visions inquire

poesie is awoken
drowsily recalling 
a dream of a nightmare
a downy rousing to alertness

poesie rubs her eyes
yawns an aspiration
and utters a fact
the dream's gone too fast.

Breeze Woman Slumbers

The moonlit grass was metaphorically mystic in its cool, methodical, grandiose offerings of solace to the gentle breeze-woman who could not abide the ruin of her evermore. 
Softly, silently, without any hesitation, she laid her burden down on the caring grass bosom illuminated by the entangled mono-speak of the faeries.
Butterflies surrounded her, illuminating her starlit dreams with dreams of their own. Sometimes the dream masters can fix things well beyond the realm, head nymph told head elf.
For a solid minute, in mutual respect and solitude, they formed a rescue mission, and sprinkled breeze-woman with the magic that she needed to do what only she could do.
Sandman sashayed over, surveyed the nymphs, and elves and tucks, raised one finger to his gentle mouth.
“All hush,” he said, his whisper a bare wisp. “She is finally asleep.” They surrounded her with love and joy and cheer, only silently. Everyone loved Breeze Woman.
All was well in the forest.

Reality Slumbers

Saffron sunbeams color chiffon
ribbons entangled in the clouds.
And purple lilacs scent the air;
wafting delicious aromas.

As orange tints the rim of Earth;
cinnamon skies showcase shy stars.
And when Twilight shifts into Dusk,
darkness descends, devouring day.

Cotton candy pink shields the sun
behind a bright magenta glow.
And a rising Moon's golden hue;
gilds alabaster clouds below.

Night dons a cloak of tattered black
that summons the screech of an owl.
And, soon, reality slumbers;
dreaming in muted shades of blue.

Far horizons of ebony,
ink shrubs, and trees in silhouette.
And Venus summons tomorrow;
anticipating today's death.

Humanity Slumbers

I live for blue foggy days
Where the birds sleep in numbers
When the world's in a haze
And humanity slumbers

Evening Slumbers

evening slumbers -
 muted by the falling snow,
 dusted in quietude,
 trees slip peacefully into
 the night, blanketed by snow
