"rem" poems
Netted on the outside Dreams pass through the inside. The good dreams seep the center, The bad dreams are caught: DO NOT ENTER! The sleeper with eyes shut, Protected by the dreamcatcher And selected by the buy-snatcher, Slumbers in peace When all is at ease Around the dreamcatcher police. Reality is still But the mind is awake And sleep is at stake. Eyes cannot detect What the dreamcatcher does, It only sways in the midst of a glance. But the dreams that pass the glass dividing atmospheric gas Cannot be seen, touched, heard. Dreamcatchers have a radar That no being does. The dreams charge at once! WOOOOSH. Not a dream is heard Caught in the dreamcatcher grid, But the good ones Keep clean the REM zones. Native-American tradition I will surely petition.

Dreamcatcher Rap
My dear friends Go on and enjoy yourselves Slumber the morn away! It seems early on Saturdays I've always far to much to attempt to convey While my few kind heart-ed followers Tend to sleep their mornings hours Peacefully in and out of REM While I'm at the computer rhyming again... It's late You passed your chance for early waking Hell you miss out on a great early baking! And now it's far past time for eggs and bacon The munches, as you can guess Have all been forsaken And what did you achieve With extra sleep Morning dreams of distorted thoughts Poetic themes now subconsciously lost? I know, I know You made wonderful love the night before And you need your beauty rest I read your writing, I get it you are so blessed!!!! I went to bed alone and played With the thoughts of someone wanting me I wish my poems could reflect But all they do is bleed How I envy all my followers If I offend Give me a holler You've been hanging out late With a habits to itch We all have a role to play Unfortunately   By the time you get around to reading this I'll either be asleep Or on my way! .....

In Dragon-language
As I go to sleep Dreams come knocking My subconscious mind In a rendezvous with me Am I asleep? The REM phase kicks in What do I want to view? I do not have a choice I am just a spectator For another movie Do I know the cast or crew? Is it a blockbuster or horror movie? The conclusion is inconclusive I may not be a protagonist Maybe a figment of my imagination Or, a vivid description of my days events It requires psychoanalysis My subconscious mind is in control Why can’t I have control? It’s not within my control I am asleep and my mind is awake Freud wrote extensively about it- In the ‘Interpretation of Dreams’ But still, outside our realm of understanding The symbols and motifs can give clue Ancient cultures have recorded on clay tablets But we may not be ever sure Or maybe the soul is guided somewhere Or it could be our inner desires Maybe it’s an unknown world Where we go out to venture Let there be beautiful dreams And dreams that inspire

Dreams
My bf works in Geneva, Switzerland. I go to school in New Haven. We Facetime a lot - but it’s not ideal. “I wanted to tell you, that it’s been nice.” I told him somberly. “What do you mean?” He asked after a moment. “Well,” I began, “You know how I like to go down to the harbor and watch the ocean?” “Yeah,” he answered. “Well, I was down there this evening and the sun plunged into the sea and it got dark. I think we’re all going to die.” “Anais, you’re on the east coast,” he reported. “That’s true,” I confirmed (New York’s on the east coast and it’s 60 miles away). “The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.” He explained. “ocean sunsets only happen on the west coast.” “Really?’ I said, flabbergasted, “I never noticed that.” “Yeah,” he reiterated. “I have a confession,” I admitted, sighing. “What’s that?” He enquired. “I made it up, the sun and sea thing,” I admitted. “For real?” He followed up. “Yeah,” I said. “Why?” he asked. “Nothing happens, when you’re not here,” I disclosed, “It’s SO dull, I’m dull, I’m afraid of underwhelming you.” “We’re going to die someday,” he assured me, consolingly. . . songs for this: I Can’t Remember Love by Anna Hauss So In Love by k.d. lang It’s the End of the world as we know it by REM The end of the world by Skeeter Davis

then the sun plunged into the sea
I see great ***** every day in the subway and, suddenly, my favorite Hitchcock movie changes from Rear Window to Vertigo. The movement of the train calms me down and I fall asleep quickly, dreaming that I'm in Kerouac's car, quietly hitting the road like ******* hit his canvas. I see great ******* every day on the bus that takes me home, but not one single ***** for me to lay my ear on. The dream comes to a crossroad where me and Jack have to part ways. He'll go down in history like a great writer and I'll quietly go down on memory lane in oblivion. Memory disappointed me and left a bad taste in my mouth - literary *********** ain't what it used to be.

#REM
I know it's out there somewhere the elusive balm of sleep. I've tried an evening toddy and I'm running out of sheep. Prescriptions drugs and sedatives placebos, they must be. Because my eyelids won't stay shut there's far to much to see. The REM my body craves is like a hidden itch. I know I need to scratch it but can't FIND that son of a ***** And so I lie in darkness and stare up at the fan. I try to count rotations while making up a plan. The Sandman's on vacation. I guess i'll read a book. I listen to some sound effects a breeze and babbling brook. I may just have the answer.   A hammer is the cure. But such a headache I would get! That has no real allure. Desperation beckons.   I'm teetering on the brink. I'd give a lot for just a bit ( ten dollars for a wink?) My eyes are red and swollen.   My jaw is sore and raw. The yawns are coming faster now there oughta be a law. I'll see you in the morning.   Sweet dreams if sleep you can. For me...I'll just go meditate and watch that ceiling fan.

Elusive
The Gentle Pads Of My Finger Tips Are Frigid, The Skin Under The Lip Of My Shoe Is Raw And Worn, From All The Cautious Steps I've Taken, The Leafy Green Of My Tired Eyes Is Dulled, From Hours Of The Presence Of Vision, The Fraile Glass Windows Are Frosted Over, Crystallized Molecules Whisper To The Half Moon, My Heart In A REM State Of Mind, From All Of It's Beatings, And The Color Which I Portray Is Black, Because It Is The Absortion Of The Artist's Pallette

Crystallized Molecules
I lost faith, hope and sleep. My soul has awakened my REM (RAPID EYE MOVEMENT), Where everything becomes a lucid dream This is where the terror begins. Aware, Inhuman visions begin, The shadows come close to me Whispering my name, I see a figure, He tries to steal my soul, My body unable to move, Panic begins to set in, Unable to breathe, I try focusing in my getaway. "Wake up" I try to wriggle my toes. In last despair, I try to use the trump to my only salvation. The phrase that kills all evil presences. "Jesus blood has power" That's when he screamed like there was no tomorrow, A scary loud shout, I've never heard anything like it. It seemed like it was falling apart. I just woke up. Since that day I began to believe in Jesus and his power.

† The great power of the phrase †
if you care to know what life was like for a teenage girl, in Buffalo, NY i would have to tell you, that indeed, stonewash jeans were HOT and even more so, if they were rolled up, folded, and p i n n e d. it was the tail end of punks, with the rise of grunge, pearl jam s o u n d g a r d e n and REM michael jackson and p r i n c e. SNL, chicken wings, and the phantom of the opera the world was sad the middle east was sad and the president was a pervert. what more is there to say? other than the driveway and porch parties and of course, computers pagers and andy warhol. there really wan't much to it. camping, stars in the country and crisp fall air and winters that never ended. brutal sun, freezie pops and dance routines. i was a girl. what more can i say?

a girl, circa 1995
As you lay next to me I can’t help but think of you. You lay sleeping, and I close my eyes and envision you taking me. To the place that only the weight of your body on mine can bring. Your hands moving across mine, light as feathers Your breath on my neck, slowly become more rapid. The look of love in your eyes, A look you couldn’t hide with all the will power of your being. I want to spin with you, lose control, devour the moment. I crave to make you writhe, twitch, grasp the sheets, To arc your head back and gasp for air. Have you lose all barriers and be truly free. As you lay sleeping, I envision reckless motion Feelings words can not personify. Anytime I look in the mirror I see the reality of myself A reality once only could manifest, yet now is actuality. My own image brings up feelings of imperfection, A figure that I am not comfortable with, Self-esteem that I can not seem to find with out you. You are my world, my sun, my universe. My every thought orbits around you My mind races at the thought of you Despite all the time that has elapsed I long for you, I beg of you to wake up To say balderdash to rest, REM, and energy And expel it all unto me. I want you to take all that I am; consume me. Fore when we connect I am completed As you lay sleeping, you toss and turn Growing ever closer too me Were your eyes open I could tell you Tell you to take me in any way imaginable. Not out of primeval hormones, But for a cluster of fireworks in a darkened sky. A lustrous swaying of beings that few experience in a lifetime, But with you it is constant, predictable in a joyous sense. I am broken, though the patches I’ve created hold to me well, My mind can not help but regress to old patterns and vices. At times I wonder if the feeling is mutual If when we intertwine my experience is the same as yours. Are there fireworks, or just the "great value" ****** any girl could give you. Your love is undeniable, however, your anatomy has a satisfaction guaranteed Though still I wonder about the fireworks When your inside me do you feel flesh or do you feel alive - the most alive you’ve ever felt. Does your mind forget, just for that moment, that anything else in the world exists Just for that moment, are their fireworks? Because my world changes in those heated moments It is the only time I feel beautiful. I worry that because I have changed I can not satisfy you.   Your former mates eclipse me, You’ve been with those who are beautiful by textbook standards. You’ve been intertwined with those who I feel I do not compare. I want to make you feel the way you make me feel I don’t want you to just *** I want you to have an ****** To feel that explosion of love and satisfaction. I want to know that the fireworks are not duds. Because, I would do anything to make you feel beautiful.

Maturity is knowing what your limitations are…(my daily chore) <> “Maturity is knowing what your limitations are. Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything.” Kurt Vonnegut <> maturity comes when you cannot, even try, to fool oneself, indeed, you preposterousness, make you laugh hardest at your very, fully owned, selfhood preening mirror disguise Is this a poem, a lamentation, a pithy regurgitation of Vonnegut, and you say: “Don’t care, it’s words that gotta come out, be released to empty the heart” a daily excess removal of that daily overflow of the days first words when new day light and nighttime’s REM sleep overlap, and the music starts of a life time of favorites, and like a pleasant thorn direct into your temples brain, the leaking, then the spilling spirals unstoppable onto the pages, and the first true relieving exhalation comes with the excited exorcism of the stones of your life, come outside your body and there is a freshly born stripe upon your face, not yet a scar for it is yet to ripen by healing, but it is your creature for loving…and it is good company with so many prior guests who have checked in, stayed for a moment’s observation, departed after getting an extended checkout time, joining the many who came and went, disappearing in to the internet’s ether, where we one will join them eventually, though you smile at that thought, cause you’re mature enough, baby, an all growled up dude, to know that when you reached that stage, you will be, non-stop laughing at *** serious you imagined you were, and wondering out loud why it took so long to recognize that mirrored visage as one big ole fool with a smile upon his face… p.s so much for that promise to take a break from beating yourself up, but you know what, it is pleasing, in that way when upon the grand occasion of waking up to another unexpected day of living deserves a deep, but rueful, laugh out loud and others’ look at your self and argue to only mischievously agree, you are indeed, still crazy after all these years

She told me to "Imagine a safe place", a quiet place, somewhere to go when the fog is at my feet. But everywhere I went was crowded with doubt and a lingering loitering presence on my shoulder, come out from the fog to hurl accusations and taunt. I can only assume it's a he on my shoulder, an enigma, my father's doppelganger come to dredge my mind of all the **** he dished out when I was a child, and feed it back to me again. I tell her I'll need more tools and stronger ideas. So she gives me a seat at the head of the table where my ****** committee meets, and a gavel to establish order or bash in their brains. She arms my dreams with weapons and courage, gives me REM when I'm wide awake. We fashion a furnace of love, hot enough to vaporize the cold darkness pouring into my gut, customized with levers and pulleys to push and to pull in the fight. We tally Alpha and Beta waves, trained and retrained, hard coded messages sanded smooth by repetition.        *Through it all I give too,        and what I give is all I can give,        it is the warmth of what enslaves me,        and the thought of letting it go….          Well.... lets not go there right now.* In the long run I'm not sure that any of it will be enough, I am weakened by the war. But occasionally there are shiny spots that simmer, You see, I may have found that place, the place she first told me to find way back at the beginning, the place to feel safe, although it isn't really a place per se. If it were true I could finally ascend to where no fog can go. Where my father's voice cannot be heard, nor the ghosts I grew up with. A place of love and honesty, where my furnace would sit idle in awe. There is a picture of us on our bedroom wall. It is the perfect depiction of all that is safe for me. I look at your smile and I see peace. Nothing can penetrate your radiance, you are everything I've never had, double layered and impenetrable by all of it. By all of the **** I am learning to go there when the fog is at my feet, and the ghosts are in my ear. When the accusations come I can escape there with you, and together we can drown them out if only for a little while.

it's five o clock yes in the morning birdsong has woken me an hour and a half before my alarm was supposed to even after another terrible night's sleep to-ing and fro-ing with tossings and turnings staring into the blank of ceiling and wall not enough comfort or perhaps too much on this slumped mattress to slip deep enough beyond those initial stages of slumber down into REM i'm surprised to find i'm not as angry nor as drained as i thought i would be at such premature awakening i can lie still untroubled for now contentedly listening to the chattering of these feathered neighbours an avian symphony of movements manifold

her words snap me back to reality, away from supposition and hypotheticals, into her arms where I feel safe. blue eyes that pierce whatever darkness i thought i had and lied to myself about, eyes that see me for a who I am and who I want to be. imagine walking down a darkened path, content in the streetlights that guided you home, and spotting something small and kind. whatever it is you imagine, it beckons you to hold it and when you do, you smile, truly and impulsively. that essence is a woman, and one i admire. someone beatiful, kind, and funny, including her incessant snoring on already sleepless nights because a cat is begging for food but you feeling comfort in their REM cycle. too little space to be your own, but enough heart to bridge the gap. imagine, then, that someone places your hand on their lap when you drive, but are equally willing to do the same, in what feels like an equivalent exchange of heart and sheer goofiness. and tell yourself it doesn't feel right that you were able to find home in them, effortlessly and happily. you won't and can't, and neither can i. words can't express that she has been friend, confidant, and a visual marvel, and someone i envision as a pillar of my bright existence.

Pestered and pursued by unknown foes A topsyturvy land where snakes can have horns and cows can have fangs. Night'mares' where the day's stallions make mountains out of molehills A chance to witness greek mythology-like creatures for real For dreamland tis a place for the unreal and surreal. Those hair-raising scary scary dreams beset with horrified silent screams! We do try to interrupt nightmares, pinching ourselves With relief wake up to see there aren't any horrid elves. We also try to interpret dreams filled with mystery But gifted dream interpreters like prophet Joseph Are now part of biblical human history All in all, dreamland's fascination for extra-ordinary exaggeration and tall-tale imagination Where myth and legend come to life An amalgam of fiction or real strife Where assorted monsters of the mind reign supreme in that REM sleep of our kind. Yet on the other hand the wishful, wistful sweet sweet dreams where fantasies form mirages bordered by fanciful seams. Where castles in the air that humans build, float gently down to earth only to shoot back up unto nowhere from the awakened one's berth. In dreamland a pauper girl can be a princess or fairy fair for daydreams extend into the night and linger on there. A quote I took to heart and it to console all and sundry 'that if your sweet dreams don't come true, don't you fret for atleast your nightmares didn't come true either, so just heave a sigh, by and by. Every night let us all just fly away and escape And lo behold the extraordinary world of Dreamscape

Shhh. Tell no-one. The dragons are sleeping like baby lizards in their caves. Breathless from a day of pillage. Restful after a time of destruction. Somewhere, on the other side of the hill, a boy is playing in the woods. Caressing his manhood, he becomes a symbol of self appreciation. Be quiet. Don't disturb the boy in his game. It is his only means of achieving satisfaction. A reaction would disturb the molecules from their expected conclusion. The boy does not realize how close he is to potential danger. If he awakens the dragons, he awakens his death. Shhh. Tell no-one. The dragons are dreaming of future conquests. Illusionary REM's of human body parts dancing in their heads. Helpless after a day of mass frustration. Hopeless after a time of complete desolation. The boy is finished his game. He smiles to himself at his clever disguises. Yesterday he was a soldier in the war of indifference. Today he is a hero, a legend in his own mind. He screams in abandoned pleasure. He yells because he can. Racing through the woods until he comes upon the entrance to a cave. Takes a breath, than slowly enters in. The dragons are no longer sleeping. They are preening their scales in preparation. Their red soul-less eyes look at the boy. The boy, with his brown empty eyes looks at the dragons. None of them make a move. Each of them recognize the emptiness of the other.

A Boy And The Dragons
When it seems as though The human coil is unravelling And we have peaked Our REM of creativity And we seem awash In half-baked positive negativity And the whole world seems To be drowning in self-induced sleep While even the watchers Seem to have both eyes closed... Turn this thing around And open bloodshot eyes. Stop your own unravelling And delve deeper into creativity. Strengthen the bonds Of your own exclusive and non-exclusive spheres. Allow your peaceful world to dawn Even though the outside world drowns In its own exclusive and non-exclusive pool of fears.

Human Coil Unravelling
The years of playing sleepover in the parents' house are ending rapidly I must now grow up. I am no longer a young child, but an aging kid, growing older and older until water gun fights and Hello Kitty are no longer acceptable but creepy, immature, and unseemly for the candidate of an office position. The rules of hallways, bell schedules, bathroom passes are obsolete in T-minus how long? Too long? Too soon? Somewhere in the in-between, if I had to make a publicly educated guess. What happens when I step off the magic carpet and into the lecture halls with faceless classmates, bespeckled, bearded professors who do not care if success is granted? Will I fall down those steps? Will my mind become quick drying cement rather than glue and trap all ability to think in the concrete with imprinted initials and cracks with grass growing? I do not know my own future, and it is terrifying panic-attacking stealing my REM and disturbing my circadium rhythm. All to do now is sit, and wait for fate to catch up with my worries.

sleep is nothing more than pressing pause on netflix; our minds are put on hold, our worries forgotten for the duration of a few REM cycles. the events of the past day, week, even our whole lives - all of it is suspended, frozen in the clutches of time - lurking in the back. Grendel in the shadows, only woken by glaring sunlight and the sound of joy. the beast slinks inside and it interrupts the tranquility of transgression with splintering, mind numbing, earth quavering reality. and consequently, reality is nothing more than an empty space in a too cold bed. it is nothing but a series of unsaid goodbyes and pleas for you to return; but only in the mind, because the words are burning holes through my lying tongue. the only reality left is sometimes, i catch an icy blue glare in the mirror, haunting and devastatingly familiar. sleep is escape if only to a universe where we were not; if only to a land where what is done can be undone, as easily as pressing undo while typing. at least there, where i dream of you once, again, you cannot leave nor hurt me. and we always have happy endings, because i always pictured that that was all you could bring me. i never dreamed i couldn't dream, or that the monsters lurked not in the shadowy alleys, but instead, inside of me. and i never imagined them seeping into reality. i never knew losing you could **** me.

~ *Bergamot morning the astronauts are sleeping and she dreams like a mannequin ceiling stars abound like hummingbirds in celestial flight about the nectar of young bodies, young machines we drew a map together from burst to bloom from fever to neckline from scale to mirror pretty scar, a thing of awe when the curious girl realized she was under glass raining in time lapse she traversed me ad rem with might and main I didn't have the heart to wake us from her brainchild's motif* ~

Her Space Holiday
Stomach full of liquid. Black eyed peas And obsession with relish Finally paying off. Trees Collages Dancing Seductress. Knowledge Healing Three small boys dressed as their fathers Playing checkers Giggling Marimba chops Echoing Twice stolen earphones Volume control Old south 1933 Shallow grave Shallow sleep Fresh cars First to drive Survive. Sonic Pescetarianism. Cherry Lime-ade Walking on the Green grass REM interrupted Curious hands Laced between Fingers Three sizes smaller Sinking unbiased truth peeking an ugly face around her corner. Talk of mustaches and ****** orientation The price of documentation. Embrace certainty within confusion. Tuesday.

Medley
Every night in rem sleep my neuron signals , And brain waves to her heart, And electrodes carry us to a moonlit secret forest. A forest that echoes love to get more intimate. The silver beam melting my Iove to her rose bud lips, The stars are falling down closet to earth, The trees alone were exquisite, They tangled to divine. I walk with my mid night fairy ,my lost soulmate , I dive in her eyes and treasure my endless passion . She Whisper with a warm breathe saying my Love, I breath in , And my heart keeps beating with her eternal love I feel to canvas her with all sheds, and live in , Coz I am the God's lonely man .....

*Hypnogagia
And the show is never over! I don't even remember purchasing the tickets. Welcome to a runny nose, and welcome to a style of up and down. Because that's all up and down are; styles for the miles of crowded planet. Drink your tired music like a bowl of wonton soup Chunks will surprise you. Swipe your debit, credit, hallmark card to purchase them All of them. Every inch of their REM. I woke up to the winter concealed in valleys Filled with fortune and ethernet cables. What's your wifi password? "Thanks, love." Alright, thanks, love. What a beautiful way to say "careful." Carefree. Curvature of some invisible decimal point. I love you.
