#snore
We all get there sometimes When the world is a fun house mirror that is only slightly off And my head is pinched until there is no room for complete thoughts So the words bounce around in my head like hyperactive toddlers Or 3 little girls who have been in the car too long My parents called it being squirrelly An appended description for the utter chaos scampering out of my mouth Then the little worms come out, too, like the earthworms in a rainstorm except the rain in a barrage of obscure cartoon references or the repeated sound of the squeaky door Then we try to be serious No more funny business, I am a mature adult with a J.O.B. Jellyfish Obsession and Boundaries, which are minimally helpful So now I either have unhealthy co-dependent behaviors (probably) or a sense of brutal honesty and a tendency to overshare Now, a quick haiku That leafy sea dragon is not a piece of kelp Yes, I like the ocean For all intensive purposes, this should not make sense If it does, then that is a sign of deep burrowing by earworms or the desperate last beat of Circadian Rhythm Good Night

Why is everything funny when Im tired?
He saw her when he opened the door, motionless, spread-eagled on the floor. For a second, he lost his head and thought she lay there dead only to chuckle when he heard a snore.

False Alarm
I can still hear your loud sleeping noise through the door, if I was being abrupt I'd say it's a snore. But it isn't that obtrusive to me, it's part of your calling card as far as I can see; a breathless wonder found easy in the dark, always hooting every gurgle; my love, my brightest spark.

Your breath Fills my heart With happiness I'm just lying here listening To it enter and leave your chest Fantasizing about the days we have The days we have to look forward to The future that I want to build with you You inspire me in so many ways To love you better, harder, fuller To rise to my potential every day With every snore my heart flutters You're a twitcher, too Which makes me giggle I often wonder what you're dreaming about If we are hiking and you have tripped If Bones has crawled under your legs If Tucker has jumped on you again If your brother has tackled you to wrestle If you just dropped the weights at the gym And I'm writing this now as you sleep My arm tingling, about to join you But I can't snooze Thinking about the luck I have come upon To be buried under the weight of your arm As you're hogging the bed Not realizing, just trying to get close to me Lucky to have someone so in love

And I'm Writing This Now, As You Sleep
Your snore does not allure it's clattering cronk drives me mad, every molecule of it forces me to sad, I hate it when I think you've stopped and there's a lull in the house of pain but then it spluters back into life and invades my space again; it's obtrusive to my slumber, it disturbs my beauty sleep, I try to hold back tears but I can't help but wheep, I have no recourse but to nudge you to try and stop the daemon howl, I need to quell misery's guttural and halt this Hellish growl, you startle and sit up but soon settle back into the cries of doom: the minions of Belzubub chanting about gloom. But despite the fact that when you rest you chudder as a foghorn lacking charms I am glad when my eyes open I'm near to your arms, because although you gurgle with terror and blast a Witchfinder General coo I'm always pretty happy when I awake with you.

Snore
A log cabin, I'd built for myself, A make shift swing waiting to engulf, I would like to wake up to my snore, Only to snuggle deeper under my pillow... Steaming mug of Coffee in hand, Favourite books at the side stand, A barbecue grill by the banks of the river, With only few birds to share the pleasure... Though time is frozen in this land, It should be racing at the land of despair... I wake up to the sound of alarm, In a clumsy hole called my home.

I would like to wake up to my snore
My feet are so cold to lay on yours Your hands busy chasing my curves Paddled in cuddles, pebbles carved Doodles dwindles all over my body Tinkering hands as they reach a ****** Ripples twisting blossoming bosoms Rage the sleeping animated power Break your wings as the rod erects Alas! The touch disappears in thin air Feet warmed in the damning chamber The perpendicular collapses in angle Sailed to dally in uncensored snores
