Poem: Winter Sleepers

sleepers hang frozen
on icicle dreams melting
to snowy slumber

Poem: Only in Dreams

Only hoping in dreams
Where sleep obscures
The disappointment of reality
In Morpheus loving arms
Wrapped up in willing surrender

Poem: No Sleep Coming

Looking for sleep when it can’t be found
Thirsting for slumber like a nomad
Out in the desert that would trade
My last thought for some sleep

Poem: Aubade Zwei Máni

Máni’s sweet kisses seal
the slumber’s eyelids
with dreams of buxom Valkyries
serving ale in longhouses filled
with the uproarious songs
of bloody victory, noble death

Poem: Ripples

It’s her breathing
In late night hours
The in and out
Of silence masking
The slumber of a dreamer

Poem: Morpheus

Still moments in the dawn
When blankets still cover
Dreams not yet stolen
By Morpheus into his realm
Soft breath slowing
The wakening heart
