He is every thought before bed,
Imagining his warm skin press against mine,
His arms cradling me to sleep,
Our thoughts drifting away,
Feeling like the only two people in the room,
Watching him is like he's in slow motion,
Focusing on small details,
Falling deeper and deeper,
In the moment it's bliss,
It's all I could ever want,
Until I realize he's not with me,
He's not here to here to hold,
To be asked or told,
That he is every one of these
Bedtime thoughts
As I fall
Deeper,
And deeper.....
Aslee-
Fall asleep thinking about someone
Olga Valerevna Jan 2016
I think about tomorrow through the people I have met
And testify of greater things that haven't happened yet
So what if all the consciousness continues to return
We'll only ever greet it when we move in what it's earned
A father of the quiet and a mother of the old
Protecting what was hidden in a parabolic code  
To whom will it be given when the final word is writ
For all will fall asleep when darkness comes to swallow it
Remember who you've carried if you wake before it ends
Forsake not even one of those you served and called a friend
“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

dripping into a timeless dark
quietly
silently
slipping into a mindless dark
breathing heavily can't breath
Haven’t written in a while
I’ve been stuck inside a hole 🕳️
One I didn’t know I needed
But it soon took its hold
From cause and effect
Applauding each other
Showing signs of respect
The word respect
I have dealt with
In certain aspects
Carved it into my arm once
Fighting my demons
Battling my own self neglect
Been through hell in a hand basket
But that’s neither here nor there
They’ve gathered to rally
They live and they share
With always a focus
A steady same thread
They know what they’re there for
What we can all comprehend
That we’re witnessing stardom
Gifted and elite
Every release is a banger
And not just new, but unique
Rinse and repeat
Dance rap or cut deep
It all sounds magnificent
As I’m falling asleep
No, seriously, I’m falling aslee
Sleep Aug 2019
a valley, a valley
for my sleep, inward embracing
a holy moment of silence before
ascents, questions, anxious wing
of a moth, an animal in famine,
the goat that travels the brink
Fall. Rise. Whatever comes first
his brother follows, the sister frowns
behind the veil, aslee,
Asleep.
