Best Sandman Poems

 I am the tide      a ceaseless tide
drifting afar from sheltered shores
From solaced paths of wide-spread sands
where all my waters  have become yours

I am the tide        a ceaseless tide
rising up high beyond...

When the Sandman’s near
I can almost hear
his soft footsteps breaking ground.
With his tender touch
my eyes feel so much
as he sprinkles sand around.

I don’t want to sleep
but I want to keep
all the dreams he has for me.
So I welcome sand
from his gentle hand
and I drift off...

Hush, his toes creep,

          Dusting sleep, those

     Lost deep in dreams ...



His stardust strewn -

          Riding moonbeams

     To swoon...

Sleepy head, it's time for bed
For it is late indeed,
Time to meet the Sandman
And ride your favourite steed.

Your dreams can take you anywhere
As they weave their magic spell,
Tucked up nice and snug in bed
You can ride your carousel.

How wondrous the adventures
As you ride him through...

Daughter of the Sandman 

War-story woman stands astride 
the country now,
book-store tour bleary now,
author hands aching 
from signing the $20.99
paperback professing her father’s 
Marne Corps Desert Storm glory now.
Book-tour daughter 
lays inside the hotel room now,
calling her shattered dad 
across the gulf,
calling the shaking-hands dad...

Hush now, all little children by the shadows of night,
Don’t resist, beware let the sleep take you, be at an uneasy peace,
For resistance is futile against this dream stalker,
Whom travels on the brain waves, of the unconscious mind?
Apparitions Spector, a vaporous wraith living on our...

He comes, a seaside golem,
walking like Frankenstein’s monster
because sand has filled the crack in his
behind, and his feet are shod in at least
two pounds of beach.
He carries his pail and shovel.

“Mommy, I have fun!” he chirps.

And I love him in spite of his sandy behind,
in...

Mr. Sandman

He's all I want 
He's all I need
You’re the sandman
In my dreams
Only you understand 
What to do in a nightmare
You hold my hand
So I won't shout or scream
You’re the sandman
In my dreams
In love is how it seems 
In love with you by day
Sleeping with...

Sandy the Sandman.
Was a super duper dude.
With a surfboard pack and a seashell nose
and two eyes made out of food.

Sandy the Sandman.
Would always love to play.
He was made of sand,
but the lifeguards know
how he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic
in those...

Sandy is why
you need
to take heed
and move your guise
a lining
is in the sky
silver is the color
and the money is fly
.
honey…
it’s in the love
that I’m writing
.
to ‘you’
.
a storm 
is coming
it's true....

Can't sleep.
 can't eat.
  write words.
    repeat.
     until I fall...

Time is ticking by faster

And the clock hangs off the edge

But my mind doesn't move as quickly

It's blocked by a deadened hedge

You say that time is precious

And I believe it all too well

I wish I could make things more certain

But some things God will never...

Tonight as you close your eyes
You will feel the thrills of childhood rise
Things you thought you’ve left behind
Will come back to fill your mind

The beauty in very simple things
The wonder that innocent joy brings
The magnificence of the first day of spring
Like a magical ride on...

Hey Mr Sandman can you help me sleep
I’ve lost the love of my life; all I do is weep

Sprinkle your magic into my eye
Help me forget him so I won’t cry

My head hits the pillow; I have a heavy heart
Never dreamed it would be so...

as the Sandman hovers above us
arm around you, bodies relaxed
electrical pulses from the brain surge 
my body slips into a paralysis 
everything is where it belongs
in the security of next to you
lies more than a reward for the day
i am far beyond mere satisfaction
i am...
