"Mama, I can't sleep. There are monsters," I would say.
Mother shook her head and chuckled.
"Don't worry. It's all in your head, sweetie."
She tucked me in, kissed my forehead and laid beside me until I fell asleep.
I was four.
"Mama, I can't sleep. There are monsters," I would say.
Mother shook her head and sighed.
"There aren't any monsters. It's all in your head."
She tucked me in, kissed my forehead then went to bed.
I was ten.
"I can't sleep. There are monsters," I would say.
Mother would leave the room without saying a word.
I never saw her much after that.
I was fourteen.
"I can't sleep. There are monsters," I would say.
No one would listen.
"It's your head," the doctors would say.
Nurses gave me pills to help me fall asleep.
I was seventeen.
"I can't slee-" They wouldn't let me finish my sentence.
Nurses rushed in to strap me into the bed.
They injected something into my arm to make me fall asleep.
I never made it to eighteen.

Sleep
Is that you I see?
Why do you tempt me
With your beauty
Rest
Why do you massage my shoulders
Your touch soothes me
at the worst possible time
Relax
Your sweet words dance
Around my heavy head
Why are you lulling me into a
Deep
Deep
Slee-
WAKE UP
Class is still in session

I lay here in my bed watching tv. My mind is wandering aimlessly.
What am I going to wear for work? Man....I'm going to have to wake up extra early to iron. My dog comes and sits next to my bed.....takes his head and moves my hand .....so it rests on his head. He wants some attention from me.....a little love and I don't have to pay a fee.
I have work I need to finish...but I hate doing it at home. I guess I'll stay late at work tomorrow......don't want the upcoming week to start with sorrow. Hopefully ....I will be ahead and not behind .....I'm not a follower or standing in line.
My friend called and said her trip was fine. I sent her a text because she was on my mind. She called me a few hours later to say her day was fine. She sounded very happy .....but her only bad news.....she attended an affair and brought the wrong shoes.
The people didn't care because of the light she provided.....her presence had them excited and delighted. That's what she expressed to me...so I decided to write it. God allowed her to make it just in time.....and her experience made it into my rhyme.
Life happenings made into a creative piece.....a tailor... carefully measuring his work. This is custom made.....so that means it's one of a kind. I should be sleep.....but I have too much on my mind.
Maybe I can text the sandman and have him send me a dose of sleeping sand.....it's hard to hold and seeps out of your hand.
You are getting sleepy.......very sleepy....vee...slee...py.

Nitrous oxide injection;

Wheels spinning directionally
Nowhere, driving my desk around
Curves and straightaways, skidding;
Waking the ADD child inside me
Dilated pupils and superhero
Fingers pirouetting, dancing
Across ASDF keyboards

slee ep. . .
though
you
are
awake
i am alive in you;
(in thy body–
and amongst thy leaves
i am naked and fragrant )
i am touching the cool spine
and the cambered wrist;
lightly mute, **** and bruised
with dark veins.
your cheeks are pale;
your eyes are soft–
hugely brimming
with neat darkness.
you come over the mouth.
you hold the breath
between delicate fingers.
you are nearly kissing,
each nearly moment of body.
you move with quick slowness:
never rushing,
never uncarefully treading.
((s l ee p.. .
though
you are alive;
i am awake in you.

she craved the type of passion
that could bring the devil to his knee.
but what on this ungodly earth,
could that even be?
She sits and she’d plea
forever getting closer,
but somehow. success would always flee.
Until she grew so slee-py,
She couldn’t stand or chance.
She fell asleep at his feet
Halfway through her lovely dance!
And as she lay dead
And peacefully asleep as could be.
The devil couldn’t help himself,
But go down to her on one knee.
He didn’t even know it
It wasn’t recognized.
He was so enamored
By the look within her fallen angels’ eyes.
With such a face full of expression.
So much calm, so much dream.
He accepted the love of this girl
And shared an ever ember between.
