Sleepless Slumber
The moon, a silent voyeur in the pane, Watches my stillness yet I writhe in vain. A paradox unfolds, a weary plight, Engaged in slumber yet devoid of night. My body lies, a landscape soft and deep, Where breath still stirs and secrets softly sleep. But in the skull, a restless buzzing hive, Where thoughts like frantic insects stay alive. I chase the...

A few will suffice
"A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world." - Leo Buscaglia I need not many friends in this my life~ A few will suffice, if they do wonders, As caring and kind as a loyal wife, Their presence resounds like distant thunders. More beauty is found in a single rose Than in weeds that overrun a garden. Their...

feel the quiet, pouring over my thoughts the lingering dream, filling me up with a sense of peace and silence, flowing erasing the day with all its shadows all the pains of the past melt away, gentling the ache, the voice of twilight stirring in my spirit – a melancholic drifting telling me that this moment is the time before and after, this...

Within Slumber Time
Within Slumber Time Once again awake at night Peaceful sleep, out of sight Monkey mind, such a fight Faded memoirs lost in flight Queries race within my mind Seeking answers hard to find Feelings and thoughts combined Fantasy and reality intertwined Fearing scenarios not yet to be A certain future you cannot see Or from a past you cannot flee Certain words you don’t agree Lost...

Final - Act5 - Slumber Cold frozen fortress poetic in it's slumber I count the days And trace the memories Awaiting my springtime flower Of feathered down Without a sound From my window I peer This town lie empty Reeling dreams are empty This bitter fortress Has frozen my tear I scribe a memoir To and fro In remembrance And gather my dreams Into existence Tomorrow awaits...

Slumber's Grace
Softly she slumbers, a vision to see, A smile on her face, serenity. No worries or cares, no troubles in sight, Just peaceful repose, a gentle delight. Her snores, a gentle hum, a sweet serenade, Cute and girlish, a symphony to aid, My heart beats faster, my love grows anew, In this moment, my heart belongs to you. Though I may be nothing...

Premium Member Before Merry Christmas Slumber
Smelling Woody, sweet, aroma Christmas pine tree, Weaved with Bright blinking lights, Topped with a starlit top. Feeling The Brrr ... chill of the night air Brrr ... freezing cold of the North Pole. Listening To the sounds of the wind For the Ring a ling, jingling, Ringing of the sleigh bells. Watching Moonlight shadows dancing On the walls as they take Different fantasy shapes Waiting Jolly, rolly, “Ho, Ho, Ho” White...

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...

Dreams Within Dreams
I walked on stage. Singing one of Cyndi Lauper's songs. I sang a sweet melody, and everyone sang along. My voice sounded sweet and strong. I woke up from my slumber. Realizing that it was just a dream. I didn't hear my mother call me. Telling me that it was time to go to school. I decided to sleep a bit more. Falling into...

Slumber
In the dead of night I weep , hoping I can go Back to sleep . Lying awake for goodness sake What can I do to calm myself. A idea pops in my head, I shall read in my bed Pages go by but what do they say , My eyes get heavy Back down I start to...

In this endless false fall, a summer sun fell down Off the flattest edge of the planet, outside of town Ice grew slowly over every part of this lumber The world at full unrest; winter chose to slumber...
