SOMNOLENT SLUMBER

I slumbered, half-dead, lost in oblivion's night
Unaware of my surroundings, a fleeting, fragile light
Sleep, a battleground where life and death entwine
A struggle to survive, a war to reclaim the divine

But when I wake, the night's dark battle's won
I've emerged victorious, the morning's golden sun
And when I sleep, unbroken by the day's fierce strife
I've conquered the

Somnolent Eyes Awaken

with somnolent eyes
i fixate on these droplets
streaming down
my windshield
like lost tears
trying to find a path
to my lips
as i thirst for warmth

unanchored thoughts
adrift in my mind
falling harder
than this rain
of ashen skies
leave my lips
athirst in ardent desire
as they search
for the press
of yours

i linger
as i embrace desires
unfulfilled 

peering
through downcast eyes
at the tears
raining down
as they touch
my awaiting lips
less passionately

Somnolent

Go to sleep now
No need to fear old fears
Keep sweet dreams company
Void those harsh pains again

Roll over on your bed
Rest on soft pillow trance
Relax in fast getaway
Let thoughts cease to bite

Forsake this glorious madness
Slip away into slumber 
Somnolent moods conspire
To leach out bitter gall

Upon a path beyond this
Make mystic magic moments move
Drowsy dreamy delights dance

Somnolent

Sleepy hours drift with breezy air,
Oblige stray rest that floats in lull;
Meet slow sure sift of lazy flair,
Note dizzy fest in drowsy cull;
Outline the quest to find new lot,
Live in the light of calm that stays;
Embrace the fest as ideas plot,
Niche a fond sight in dreamy sway;
Touch a good feel in moments sure.
Heed then the

Somnolent

Bamboo pines sway
Cold winds slide
Rain on the way
Moist air glides


Old moon gate arc
Cold breeze blows
Wet rain drops mark
Moist air glows


The sudden rush
Shelter sought
Rainy moods brush
Wet report


Rain can now fix
A wet form
Moisture can mix
Aqueous norms


Bamboo trees wet
Cold clear squeeze
Weather now sets
Cold cold breeze


By my window
See this show
Wet afterglow
Sleepy flow

Somnolent

Heavy eyelids
Drooping daze;
Blur fatigue


Hot weather
Sleepy eyes punctuate;
Somnolence


Well-fed bout
Too much food;
Sleepy convulsions


Eyelids heavy
Drowsy excursions;
Dreamy ESP


Chatter in slow motion
Awareness in decline;
Afternoon nap


Rapid express
Snoring sensations;
Roomy context


One by one
Figures tumble;
Sleepy exposure


Painful waiting time
Dental appointment;
Fatal extraction!


So many things
Left unsaid;
Good conversation


Drowsy listening
After lunch break;
Learners half asleep


Crowded space
Edgy moods prowl;
Silent rage sparks


Extra dry drought
Wild fires burn;
Smoke and ashes


Take a walk
Make some small

-Somnolent Sun-  

As the sun sets, into
a somber crimson sky,
radiant beauty shines down
on those who cannot fly.
Inspiration gleaming at this 
moment caught in time,
creating a soothing memory,
instilled within my mind.

Filling the Earth with the 
warmth of her heart, 
while setting away, 
committed to her part.
She slowly fades behind
the horizons of the bay,
with promises of return,

Somnolent Days and Restless Nights

Somnolent days then restless nights sleeping on the floor.
Eccentricity is custom, conventional thinking an allegation. 
Should each sunrise shine dimmer than the morning before?

A photograph of wickedness captures the allure.  
Creation falsely proven, all eyes suspicious of truth.
Somnolent days then restless nights sleeping on the floor.

Smooth are the wrinkles of the aged like pebbles
