24 Poems ~ 24 Hours
Who needs sleep
when adrenaline is pumping through your veins
Why sleep
when so much can be attained while awake
Sleep, overrated, measured wrongly
Sleep is
when nightmares haunt you
Stay awake
and nothing will hurt you
Sleep – Gah!
Who needs sleep?
what sweet victory do my eyes behold?
the sweetest story ever told;
how strangers came from every hand-
and wrote themselves a promised land;
and tainted not one single sound
but did indeed make love abound.
then in the final hour, spent-
gave their souls to words without repent;
and as their eyes did sleep pursue-
their brains turned off, just to renew-
to come back strong some other day-
to the poetry marathon and have their say.
Let me sleep beside you.
After all the work is done.
And the day has come to a close.
I think you want my company too.
Howling children are now sedate.
Our stomach full of good cooking.
Worn out from the day.
Longing for that sweet embrace.
I want drown in a thousand pillows.
The ones covering your bed.
Feel your heat radiating into me.
As I lay next to my hero.
Finally when our eyes close.
Our dreams are just waking moments.
I picture us together where-ever we are.
As I place kisses under your nose.
My head is heavy truly
from sacrificing words
The spewing made me dizzy
Feeling untowards
I need a day, nay two
to find a new perspective
I’m presently inclined
toward horizontal restive
A pillow and my CPAP
are all that I require
Good night to all I say, I do
I’m ready to retire…
Aloha!

fleas in heaven
i hope there’s fleas
in heaven
cos all dogs
have fleas
& if heaven
has no dogs
then heaven
is no place
i want to be
Well, thank dawg!
That last one was easy (careful, it’s deeper than it looks!) ((It’s not, it’s just an end point, huzzah!!))
The card above got the most number of hits, but no bingos sadly. I got 3 x 3 in a rows overall. A pretty sorry performance by many bingo-ers expectations. But I’m pleased enough. & so to bed … :P.
The most wonderful moment
Relax and forget about everything
No doubt about
The most important part of my day
Happy Dreams!!!
(Free Verse 2015)
Sleep…
the great escape
for the mind,
body,
soul.
I dream of
faraway places,
people I love,
darkness, light,
words in my heart.
I dream the ultimate dream:
to be loved
wholly, completely.
Sleep one day
will be eternal.
But now it is
fleeting,
the dream state
the story board
for my heart,
my soul.

Known by so many names
Netflix queue of conundrums
Netflix choice purgatory
Netflix spiral of despair
The queue grows and grows
Then there comes a day
So many choices
Genres, actors, directors,
Reviews and synopses
Stories to be explored
Dialogues to be experienced
So much time spent scrolling assessing reading reflecting
4 stars 3 stars half stars
Well reviewed, well received
Known actors, known directors
Most popular trending tasty treat of a film
My finger hovers over the select option, but
Next to it, another film
Unassuming, similar in genre, style
Possibly concept
Yet less reviewed, barely viewed
Almost forgotten
Let’s see what happens
Press play
The queue will remain
but I will change
Each choice leads to another.
A long day’s journey
A long day’s night
My pillow awaits
Fluffed just right
A dream or two
Is calling my name
I imagine my writing
Won’t be the same
My head to mattress
My light snaps to dark
I am over this day
To dreams I embark
Goodnight you fair poets
You geniuses too
The ride has been gnarly
The poems have been too
Good night sweetest evening
I really had a ball
But someone will die
If my phone rings a call.
Spinning down in frailty
slowly spinning drain
or melting.
No time control
finger swirl
mind blown.
Gripping onto anything
quickly to the end
or fading.
