No More Sleep

Bewilderment of a sleep sequel
waning of some diva forgotten nightmare
ascendant fame and popularity attacked
regretful emotions embellish wickedly
secret letters but false plagiarism
the careful calibration of a deceiver
seeking to eviscerate your life
With a savagely rude force of will
you awaken with hardihood battered
tears thick like Vaseline phlegm
tearing open a sachet of tissues
as you seek to cleanse wicked dreams
with a detergent of positive thoughts
no more sleep will come tonight

Filtering Dreams

Messages, voices, visions unite
my dark conscious come to life
etching fires behind my eyes
a living legend told through lies

A mark upon a person’s past
haunting for an unknown future
a good deed rewarded twice fold
through all the years we are told

A lovers kiss in a swollen seed
a gentle tree blooming fruit
a secret holding a candle light
kept in the darkness of the night

Today’s poem is about stealing a nap in the late afternoon, only to be plagued by nightmares and wishing you hadn’t taken a nap after all. This poem is inspired by the 14 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers:

@Zorlone (narcoleptic), @ScamStopper (dilemma), @RemBeatZ (Loyalty), @solitarypanda (miscegenation), @shemah (translator), @thedoomeduk (Choler), @anefallarme (whiny), @KathrynVercillo (dreamy), @AnnEvanston (Serendipity), @MarionChapsal (Butterfly), @nicolaquinn (sesquipedalian), @losabrigados (winkingly), @devil_in_jail (pedophile), @Peter_Nehem (nitroglycerin)

Late Afternoon Nightmare

Stuck in a narcoleptic dilemma
relaxation sought in dreamy sleep
patience wanes into whiny choler
only loyalty sworn to your pillow

You lay there winkingly, drifting with thought
sesquipedalian dreams that need a translator
flow into your mind on butterfly wings
miscegenation of memories and creativity

Losing yourself between day and night
a refresh for the mind and soul
if only for a few moments
a quiet late afternoon nap

Serendipity would not be found, however
nitroglycerin charged pedophile nightmares
dream plagues that scar your psyche
awaking more fatigued than ever before

Was it punishment for stealing some sleep
or a curse for ignoring some work
now you rise out of your bed
wishing you would have stayed working instead
