The sound of the sea
leaving the window open
The sea calls me home
a Struggle to find sound sleep
The longing to remain close

Dark Mischief
No heat on at night
the cold crisp covers caress you.
Positioned for sleep
the cat positions herself near your leg.
Waking at three am
the pain of a numb leg and the great urge.
Wobbling in the dark
almost falling into the toilet darkness.
Coming back to bed
The mischief begins
Sleep
Winter landscape deep
we sleep within dreams and love
holding on to sleep
A Long Year
I hover between sleep and awake, feeling the effects of waking dreams and a death-like calm.
The music presses me on through feelings of exhaustion and stressed-out commitments.
When the song stops, I find myself falling towards the keyboard.
I hover, then give in to my dreams.
Anti-Work
Take me from this place
where work is all-consuming
sleeping until noon
Haiku: Phosphorescent Sea
phosphorescent sea
watching from the dark shore
jolted from sleep
Discord & Sleep
Neverending days.
The workdays never stop, and
the news churns out the worst of us.
Sleep won’t come.
You listen to music in bed;
when the discord starts, sleep takes you.
You sink into chaos.
The madness of the music
accompanies your terrifying dreams.
Between Nightmares
Perspiration and a feeling of heat take hold within the stifling sheets.
Sleep comes slow, yet when it comes, events progress, and I’m standing in front of a light green house with gold-laced windows in a forest at the top of a hill at the end of a cul-de-sac.
Nothing makes sense, as a random stranger dances up with multiple women and says he’s been waiting for me to arrive.
Events progress, then I’m awake from one nightmare only to see something in the bathroom mirror. A heart can only miss so many beats as the sheets become a greenhouse.
Between the nightmares, your side of the bed is empty. You sit in another room playing a game at 2 am, while sleep is inevitable.
Coral Dreams
If sleep came knocking
I would still sit by the sea
Lost in coral dreams
