"dozed" poems
It was only the other day you fell asleep in your old chair The one that was in your front room decades ago You didn't see Andy Murray lose but you didn't care You’d eaten well and heavy eyed you dozed I’m sorry but when I lost the house it had to go I know throwing it out was a bit wrong But if chairs go to heaven though At least you’ll have something there to sit on I wish I’d never told you off for smoking by the pump You looked so sad that I’d made you feel a fool But imagine how you would have made those people jump As they were all engulfed by a massive fireball Enjoy your new lungs and try keeping them clean for a few hours Enjoy your time with Granddad it’s been thirty years too long Enjoy strolling through those heavenly gardens with all your favourite flowers But in heaven, please don’t bag cuttings; I’m sure up there it’s wrong!

Enjoy the Trip Nan!
A mock pack of sea dogs Lay on the hot, white shore; Their wrinkles said They'd been too long In the sea. Next to them dozed a tyrian crab Whose sleep in a foot-trace deep Commenced to crumble In the green rumble Of a lecherous tide. Then a dark, awkward sound   (Not too far from the drowsing crab) Was heard. He came forth from the mountain To sun himself on the shore And send the frightened rocks   Back to the deep.

The Rocks
The sky cried frozen dreams That Friday afternoon I dozed in the crisp winter air That Friday afternoon Mind dancing higher than the sun Enjoying that magical midday moment The sky was alive with a serene chaos A sweet pain That Friday afternoon I wandered through the gentle folds of imagination A feeble attempt to escape To forget the world That Friday afternoon Skimming oceans Grazing clouds searching for a place to stop A place to watch them That Friday afternoon I will skip through the months leap through leap years to find you That Friday afternoon If we meet Cold breath and warm smiles That Friday afternoon Will you see me there? That Friday afternoon Will you see me? The ebony twirls and spins Through the crimson water That Friday afternoon I sit on the end of the world We sat here That Friday afternoon Do you remember?

That Friday Afternoon
It was nightfall, I felt very sleepy, And I dozed-off To the stud in my Dreams-Dreams. Oh how strong he was! All muscle unlike my body, Stiffer, stronger & ***** he was! She gave a bath, And a massage too, To the stud in my Dreams-Dreams. She caresses it sweetly, And she kisses it too, Yes, the stud in my Dreams-Dreams. She kissed my stud, A bit too much and, The stud spewed its stomach Out on her face, In my most wild Dreams-Dreams. The girl's eyes were, Teeming with tears, To the stud in my Dreams-Dreams. As she was happy, Tears were of joy, To the stud in my Dreams-Dreams.

The Stud In My Dream (36-Lined Nelson)
The cemetery was my circus I found After outgrowing fantasy and the playground. Golden afternoons in the country after school, My blood having no resemblance, no ancestors, To all the Sutton's and Smotherman's and Suddeth's Who here resided with Tennessee pride. Inside and outside. The still silence of my childhood cemetery carried an eerie air. I wanted to be here. The peaceful calm, it called me back, The king cawing crow, attending in black. As for any of the lost, perhaps content, Confederate souls, Who have yet to cross over, lamenting or dozed. I suspect now, that it was I who startled those ghosts. My blood, my frequency, my scent of the coast, Sent from a Union ancestry my vibration still boasts... How unexpected was I to those Tennessee ghosts.

As I dozed
I want to grow a pair of wings -Sharp, beautiful, majestic ones- To hold you in and press you tight inside them, Like the tender silken roses you sent, That dozed deep in the pages Of our favourite book, So I can keep you For ever. ~

Come into the garden, Maud, For the black bat, Night, has flown, Come into the garden, Maud, I am here at the gate alone; And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad, And the musk of the roses blown. For a breeze of morning moves, And the planet of Love is on high, Beginning to faint in the light that she loves On a bed of daffodil sky, To faint in the light of the sun she loves, To faint in his light, and to die. All night have the roses heard The flute, violin, bassoon; All night has the casement jessamine stirr'd To the dancers dancing in tune; Till a silence fell with the waking bird, And a hush with the setting moon. I said to the lily, 'There is but one With whom she has heart to be gay. When will the dancers leave her alone? She is weary of dance and play.' Now half to the setting moon are gone, And half to the rising day; Low on the sand and loud on the stone The last wheel echoes away. I said to the rose, 'The brief night goes In babble and revel and wine. O young lord-lover, what sighs are those For one that will never be thine? But mine, but mine,' so I sware to the rose, 'For ever and ever, mine.' And the soul of the rose went into my blood, As the music clash'd in the hall; And long by the garden lake I stood, For I heard your rivulet fall From the lake to the meadow and on to the wood, Our wood, that is dearer than all; From the meadow your walks have left so sweet That whenever a March-wind sighs He sets the jewel-print of your feet In violets blue as your eyes, To the woody hollows in which we meet And the valleys of Paradise. The slender acacia would not shake One long milk-bloom on the tree; The white lake-blossom fell into the lake, As the pimpernel dozed on the lea; But the rose was awake all night for your sake, Knowing your promise to me; The lilies and roses were all awake, They sigh'd for the dawn and thee. Queen rose of the rosebud garden of girls, Come hither, the dances are done, In gloss of satin and glimmer of pearls, Queen lily and rose in one; Shine out, little head, sunning over with curls. To the flowers, and be their sun. There has fallen a splendid tear From the passion-flower at the gate. She is coming, my dove, my dear; She is coming, my life, my fate; The red rose cries, 'She is near, she is near;' And the white rose weeps, 'She is late;' The larkspur listens, 'I hear, I hear;' And the lily whispers, 'I wait.' She is coming, my own, my sweet; Were it ever so airy a tread, My heart would hear her and beat, Were it earth in an earthy bed; My dust would hear her and beat, Had I lain for a century dead; Would start and tremble under her feet, And blossom in purple and red.

On my way from DC to Manhattan, the sky an odd indigo. Got some donuts from the local bakery, which I'm munching on. Some girl sits next to me. After a couple hours she dozed off, and I whisper to her: "You might be stardust, but you're no nebula." She can't see the window through my silhouette. I hate that inky nothing, I hate that shadow, I hate that silhouette.

Winter Break
I The winter evening settles down With smell of steaks in passageways. Six o’clock. The burnt-out ends of smoky days. And now a gusty shower wraps The grimy scraps Of withered leaves about your feet And newspapers from vacant lots; The showers beat On broken blinds and chimney-pots, And at the corner of the street A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps. And then the lighting of the lamps. II The morning comes to consciousness Of faint stale smells of beer From the sawdust-trampled street With all its muddy feet that press To early coffee-stands. With the other masquerades That time resumes, One thinks of all the hands That are raising dingy shades In a thousand furnished rooms. III You tossed a blanket from the bed, You lay upon your back, and waited; You dozed, and watched the night revealing The thousand sordid images Of which your soul was constituted; They flickered against the ceiling. And when all the world came back And the light crept up between the shutters, And you heard the sparrows in the gutters, You had such a vision of the street As the street hardly understands; Sitting along the bed’s edge, where You curled the papers from your hair, Or clasped the yellow soles of feet In the palms of both soiled hands. IV His soul stretched tight across the skies That fade behind a city block, Or trampled by insistent feet At four and five and six o’clock; And short square fingers stuffing pipes, And evening newspapers, and eyes Assured of certain certainties, The conscience of a blackened street Impatient to assume the world. I am moved by fancies that are curled Around these images, and cling: The notion of some infinitely gentle Infinitely suffering thing. Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh; The worlds revolve like ancient women Gathering fuel in vacant lots.

Upon the arboreal dozed and limb, Extended coccyx serpentine loose, Throne of inspection, tenet and dumb Stillness hunts akin stealthy Mongoose; Except for the natal locomotive Soft deep sufficiently immense purr Emanating from some industry; effective In the cover of the thick supple fur. The lord of his unconquered empire, Thrives on flesh and quenches on milk, Wintering unperturbed reading the fire That flickers, gleaming his bed of silk. Ever landing on appendage quadruple Acrobatic athlete not soiling once his back Consummating in strict concealment marble Couch of perpetual indulgence buried black.

THE CAT
In the narrowest of lanes I found the sweet shop. Behind dusty crumbling glasses dozed the old keeper smelling of sugar, milk and sweat over fossils of Paleolithic sweets on a time machine from the century he never was to a millennium he doesn't bother about clinging onto clay by pottery not succumbing to synthetic counting not on android but accounting on parchment with the art of finger's arithmetic most intricately scribbled with pencil announcing progress is a trouble not designed for the simple and contentment has no more nitty-gritty than price and quantity. Over his head spiders worked and reworked from the ceiling to the glass as have been doing since Carboniferous.

Evolution
Slumbering on and off I must have dozed into a side street My memory on a go slow Having vacated the premises Beads rolled and filled the gaps Settling into the spaces in my head Overflowing into folds of the pillow Their circular bodies probing my cheeks Pulling faces at me in disturbance The light switch to my brain remained off The beads multiplied, the pillow Like a giant bead bean bag Impacted its air bag mode Wham....I was awake Not knowing for a moment quite what day it was

Day
You stepped foot out of the car and sauntered over I was sure I could watch you come home to me everyday But we only had 94 hours together Although, I craved for you to stay We watched through the tale of The Boy Who Lived (And you dozed through all my favorite parts) We relived another seven years in the castle and hallows While it was really only nineteen hours on the couch Still, time was of the essence It had been far too long since your hand was in mine So, I strived to make the most of it Before you drove back across the state line It was during those 94 hours When you whispered all your affection to me The glow across your face from the television When you told me you were falling in love with me Those 94 hours came to an end and you packed up all your things You placed my hand on your beating heart, sorting out every feeling Your car then left the driveway just as easily as it came All of our time spent apart made me realize one commodity Absence does make the heart grow fonder

Hogwarts, Hearts, and 94 Hours
She sat there plucking bits out of the long grass in her hand The wind ruffled her hair, lifting her eyelashes to the majestic view of the sunflower meadow The sun setting had made a dark scarlet and purple hue in the sky The birds retreating back to their nests Over with their daily hunt for food, and singing their melodies She sang her own song and whistled to the tune of the birds Her eyes sparkling from the last rays of sun, she closed her eyes Laying her head on the soft grass, she dozed into the night of stars

The Sunset
The bar was deserted But for The Captain and me I was tending the bar He was watching the sea The North Wind was 'a howlin' As the door opened wide It was The North Wind just checkin' To see who's inside The Captain, was quiet looking out at the sea He said on days like today, that is no place to be She'll swallow you whole Take your ship in one gulp Crush all your riggings And make the rest into pulp When she opens her maw The Sea don't care who Is there for the taking It's just what she do I ventured on over A fresh glass, with some ice He said "what took you?" I said ..."now, be nice" "With weather like this" "There's leaks front and back" "And if I don't mop them up" "Then I will get the sack" He smiled as he drank up One gulp and all done He used to come here With his grandson and son But, that story is longer And a good one to know But, today, t'was just him And he was rarin' to go "The Sea is a monster, you can be sure of that" "That's a fact I am saying, as sure as I'm sat" "She'll swat you down hard, like a little old gnat" "And to her it'll be nothing more than a pat" "To Davy Jones Locker, she'll take you today" "And once you are down there, in the locker you'll stay" "A witch like the Ocean, she doesn't half play" "When the water starts talking....you hear what she say!!!" He swirled round the cubes Made a noise, looked my way I was already pouring His fifth of the day "Barkeep, be wary" "The wind is the start" "It's the voice of the water" "It'll sure break your heart" "She'll take what you give her" "And she'll return you squat" "Like a big old hard game" "Of 'x's and noughts" "She's a powerful mistress" "And fickle as well" "But, be on her today" "And she'll take you to hell" We sat watching closely As the storm rattled glass We both were quite nervous And we hoped it would pass The storm  came in early Two weeks 'fore the season And we knew out today That the water'd be freezin' The Captain dozed off Facing out to the sea There was now just the storm A sleeping Captain....and me.

Seven days spent lost in the rogue North Octagonal windows framed a snowed in view. In the kitchen, sun soaking in like honey, The kids sat eating oranges. Two cats humming and a sheepdog dozed Under a thick maple table, flavoured as last nights fresh game Lullabies deep as eyes were heavy Fire stoked and a Mickey Mouse Christmas shining brightly, playing cards, I laughed that it was just November. Two sets of ice blue eyes, no blood in between. And six sets, shades of green-blue-brown, Each the nicest pair you'd ever seen. I fell in love with the eight, Always their eyes first I'll admit. And now my heart lay in A long house, teepee on the dock. The purest cold blue I'd ever know To crash upon iced rock. All the trees you would ever need, A conglomerate of green; Until the day I die, the holiest place I've been

THE CAT
I sat by the window side at the bus And ate some chocolate cake with gusto Headaches from last night's partying And suddenly I dozed off while eating How strange... Someone tapped me on the shoulder I ****** and opened up my eyes And saw you with your gentle smile My face with smudges of chocolate How embarrassing... You asked if the seat beside me was vacant I nodded unable to speak for shame and fear Of opening my mouth full with chocolate cake Too conscious how my teeth would look like How pathetic... Side by side, hip to hip, shoulder to shoulder Instantly felt the warmth of your smooth skin You glanced at me and smiled again very slowly My cheeks were blushing of my indecent thoughts How pitiful... You asked softly if where my destination was I answered politely afraid of looking directly Too distracted by the musky scent you have in you I wanted to ask what perfume you were wearing How awkward... The journey was tediously long and I had hangover We sat there for five hours in companionable silence But my insides were screaming with excitement By your mere presence, I felt I was safe and sound How weird... "Excuse me sir, may I pass?" I nudged you respectfully Your eyes widened a little bit and nodded in silence I got off the bus and stared as it continued on the road Regretted that I never even dared to ask for your name How hopeless...

Beautiful Stranger
Where were you, you little ******* Where were you hiding As I turned out the lights last night? Were you in the closet as I came into the bedroom? Did you seep like a flood Across the floor in the darkness Rising up the leg of the bed And into my ears like liquid toxic waste? Were you under the pillow And as my fingers slid under there Between the crisp, smooth layers of white cotton? Did you coil about my fingers And up my arm To spread over my scalp All fuming-acid corrosive? Were you in under the folds Of the welcoming, white-striped comforter As we turned in after a perfectly pleasant day? Waiting, still, in the dark As I pulled the blankets up taught? And just below my chin As the cold sheets around me warmed To stop the just-into-bed shivers? Did you crawl up then as I dozed And twist around my throat To tighten slowly until I awoke in your grip? Where ever you were hiding, You got the drop on me. You turned the tiny dim lights That peek into the room at night Into piercing lasers. You amplified the tiniest odours Into dizzying, eye-watering stenches. You traded the rising-sun's rays As they finally pierced the curtains After my hours of sleepless discomfort For a blasts of neutron-bomb radiation. Worst of all You stole the cool, soothing side of the pillow Every time I managed to find it Giving me instead a sickly, warm bundle of gorse. Where were you, you little ******* Where were you hiding?

Migraine
I woke up cold back on the slab in my tiny cell. My head was pounding. The last thing I remember before I dozed off was Mister Suit asking me baseline questions. Then it was a series of flashing memories. Sparks flying, Screams. Voices. A thrashing body. Bright blood splattered against the pale yellow walls, a face without eyes. I guess the pink pill worked, what are those ******* control boys going to do now? Nothing's traceable. Me 1. Them 0. It should be a wake-up call for them. Long live Moonstone! I know it's not over yet.

Busted In B-Sector (Part Five) "Wake-Up Call"
eyes bloodshot and burning red like two swollen bags full of acid tears staining my cheeks with hot red blotches of fiery guilt clouding my head like dense fog settling into the room between us is a thousand miles. my eyes feel like bee-stings, my heart a stone. with my dead-tree body, withering and wilting, i lay my heavy head and plead for sleep to carry me away. you already dozed off hours ago like a sleeping child worn out from throwing his toys 'round the sandbox. your side of the bed is warm, soft and dry, while the cold rain still pours over mine. i guess tonight i'm sleeping in a storm.

going to bed angry
What is it about this drunken town where the snow falls like cement that made it so easy to fall in love with the delirious nightlife that never sleeps? It seems like when I’m with you at night I never sleep. We’re dancing around the cemetery like we threw a ball for souls. No one believes you when you say you see something from the corner of your eye but we all feel the chill and agree that tonight we will never sleep. Do you remember the night you told me to never hold back? ******* I wanted to cry but I forced a smile through my lips and eyes. I laid next to you with a blank mind for hours knowing that you think I‘m a mystery. I learned that the train yard never sleeps. The piece of **** microwave is broken again when you come home drunk. You called me a **** and punched another hole in the wall and I’m scared enough to know that tonight I’ll never sleep. That bag of ice clutched tight won’t leave his hand jammed in his pocket. When he gets home he feeds the crystals into the glass and heats it up. Tweaked out and wandering the streets at three. A woman mutters, **** addicts never sleep.” Have you ever dozed off in warm grass while watching clouds passing lazily by? My god I swear there’s nothing better than a nap in the sun for someone who never sleeps. Glass rips my forehead clean open and exposes my frontal skull bone while strange men hold me down and taunt me with knives and chain saws. Reoccurring nightmares are why many insomniacs never sleep. A sensual shower at midnight, that fat hit at two did nothing. Lavender and candles aren’t working. I’m staring at the ceiling. You roll over and pull me close. “Leah, please, go to bed. It kills me that you never sleep.”

Come into the garden, Maud, For the black bat, Night, has flown, Come into the garden, Maud, I am here at the gate alone; And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad, And the musk of the roses blown. For a breeze of morning moves, And the planet of Love is on high, Beginning to faint in the light that she loves On a bed of daffodil sky, To faint in the light of the sun she loves, To faint in his light, and to die. All night have the roses heard The flute, violin, bassoon; All night has the casement jessamine stirr'd To the dancers dancing in tune: Till a silence fell with the waking bird, And a hush with the setting moon. I said to the lily, "There is but one With whom she has heart to be gay. When will the dancers leave her alone? She is weary of dance and play." Now half to the setting moon are gone, And half to the rising day; Low on the sand and loud on the stone The last wheel echoes away. I said to the rose, "The brief night goes In babble and revel and wine. O young lordlover, what sighs are those For one that will never be thine? But mine, but mine," so I sware to the rose, "For ever and ever, mine." And the soul of the rose went into my blood, As the music clash'd in the hall; And long by the garden lake I stood, For I heard your rivulet fall From the lake to the meadow and on to the wood, Our wood, that is dearer than all; From the meadow your walks have left so sweet That whenever a March-wind sighs He sets the jewelprint of your feet In violets blue as your eyes, To the woody hollows in which we meet And the valleys of Paradise. The slender acacia would not shake One long milk-bloom on the tree; The white lake-blossom fell into the lake, As the pimpernel dozed on the lea; But the rose was awake all night for your sake, Knowing your promise to me; The lilies and roses were all awake, They sigh'd for the dawn and thee. Queen rose of the rosebud garden of girls, Come hither, the dances are done, In gloss of satin and glimmer of pearls, Queen lily and rose in one; Shine out, little head, sunning over with curls, To the flowers, and be their sun. There has fallen a splendid tear From the passion-flower at the gate. She is coming, my dove, my dear; She is coming, my life, my fate; The red rose cries, "She is near, she is near;" And the white rose weeps, "She is late;" The larkspur listens, "I hear, I hear;" And the lily whispers, "I wait." She is coming, my own, my sweet; Were it ever so airy a tread, My heart would hear her and beat, Were it earth in an earthy bed; My dust would hear her and beat, Had I lain for a century dead; Would start and tremble under her feet, And blossom in purple and red.

Come Into The Garden, Maud
Come into the garden, Maud, For the black bat, Night, has flown, Come into the garden, Maud, I am here at the gate alone; And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad, And the musk of the roses blown. For a breeze of morning moves, And the planet of Love is on high, Beginning to faint in the light that she loves On a bed of daffodil sky, To faint in the light of the sun she loves, To faint in his light, and to die. All night have the roses heard The flute, violin, bassoon; All night has the casement jessamine stirr'd To the dancers dancing in tune: Till a silence fell with the waking bird, And a hush with the setting moon. I said to the lily, "There is but one With whom she has heart to be gay. When will the dancers leave her alone? She is weary of dance and play." Now half to the setting moon are gone, And half to the rising day; Low on the sand and loud on the stone The last wheel echoes away. I said to the rose, "The brief night goes In babble and revel and wine. O young lordlover, what sighs are those For one that will never be thine? But mine, but mine," so I sware to the rose, "For ever and ever, mine." And the soul of the rose went into my blood, As the music clash'd in the hall; And long by the garden lake I stood, For I heard your rivulet fall From the lake to the meadow and on to the wood, Our wood, that is dearer than all; From the meadow your walks have left so sweet That whenever a March-wind sighs He sets the jewelprint of your feet In violets blue as your eyes, To the woody hollows in which we meet And the valleys of Paradise. The slender acacia would not shake One long milk-bloom on the tree; The white lake-blossom fell into the lake, As the pimpernel dozed on the lea; But the rose was awake all night for your sake, Knowing your promise to me; The lilies and roses were all awake, They sigh'd for the dawn and thee. Queen rose of the rosebud garden of girls, Come hither, the dances are done, In gloss of satin and glimmer of pearls, Queen lily and rose in one; Shine out, little head, sunning over with curls, To the flowers, and be their sun. There has fallen a splendid tear From the passion-flower at the gate. She is coming, my dove, my dear; She is coming, my life, my fate; The red rose cries, "She is near, she is near;" And the white rose weeps, "She is late;" The larkspur listens, "I hear, I hear;" And the lily whispers, "I wait."
