And In My Dreams
My Copper Canyon Dreams beckon me
As if, Morpheus, himself has come to call
Leading me me into the depths of sweet slumber
Taking me long past a lazy afternoons loll;
Swirling and twirling -ever, i go
Through the Gold and Silver views of past time
To a semi-languid land of sheer fantasy
Where there 'tis no reason nor any rhyme;
Cuddled in a cozy cocoon of pure joy
'Neath a Bronze Angels loving wing
Caressed by a Doves feathered tenderness
Comforted and serene in all the peace this brings;
Deeper and deeper, i slumber on
As my Copper Canyon continues to lead me
Refreshing my mind and souls disrupted issues
Bringing forth truth, in wakefuness, i could not see;
Gradually my eyes begin a more rapid movement
Realizing my sweet slumber 'tis about to end
I cling to the fluffy white clouds of: ' Hope'
And awake, ever grateful, of where i had just been;

Goddess~
She comes to you in the ether-
With a come hither look light as the breeze
Awakening you from blessed slumber
She, the Goddess, brings you to your knees;
Oh so helpless you cry..
Your tears as rain drops fall
In utter worship you sing her praises
Utterly taken in by her siren call;
She comes to you as but a gentle whisper
Upon the nights darkened wings
Is she, indeed, a real Goddess?
Or the result of what sweet destiny brings?
'Hark, my beloved, my lady'
'Comest thou from ethers afar'
To dream of you again in sweet slumber
'Tis my ardent hope, my Venus, my star;

To Dream
'Neath these hallowed halls of dreams
Came a stirring blush of aware
Deeply felt-too soon to melt
The warmth of 'truly care';
Truly care grew into love
Where dreams make their way
In tender arms of loves embrace
My dream came true this day;
Slumber, oh sweet slumber, sublime
I thank you from my core
For showing me, loves divinity
With the promise of forevermore;

Time Travelers of Darkness
Outside the court house there is a photo
A picture of three only it isn't three
Outside there wakens one in the canyon
Who sees the sun in the light of your eyes
Standing in your tower you return
century after century
Time traveler from the depths of terror
Your legacy is yours alone
And when they walk to the road and see
There can't be another so beautiful
But the planned and the deemed are free
And the smirks on the faces of the wise
Will give their hollow hearts away every time
Don't tell too much or else you will be walking
Back down that devils canyon into the abyss
And that long road to nowhere is a road well traveled
For the souls of darkness of the father of the son
Of the father of the son Of the father of the son …..
The clock it is broken and so is one so lovely
Time is all wrong and can't speak for itself.
Only those who sleep will ever see how time flies
And when you have escaped the limits of time
Your soul also shall walk down that lonely canyon
Just walking, no talking, of the father and of the son…
Sleeping now their anger is no longer free to walk the earth
The girls are finally free, the girls are finally safe.
Fly free little doves of darkness, and little doves of light….
Never to return to the canyon of darkness, the canyon of light..
This verse is a bizarre one indeed
And the words of the message
are finally freed.
But the one who would revel
At the message it tells
Is wandering in the darkness of
His own personal hell..
And forever shall be...

One Day
The deeper and deeper I fall, deeper and deeper I seek,
Deeper and deeper I try and deeper and deeper I need
Forgive me
4x
And all I see is your face
2x
The deeper and deeper I fall, deeper and deeper I seek
Deeper and deeper I try, the deeper and deeper I need
The deeper and deeper I fail, deeper and deeper I read
Deeper and deeper I cry, the deeper and deeper I feed
Caught up in this game of life, me against you
Not doing what I should, just the things that I want to
So wrapped up, terrified of what I become
Outside Im laughing, inside Im numb
I cant see the light because it blinds me
Try to forget but my past always remidns me
Exposed, looked on by eyes of grace
Im so ashamed, dont look at my face
All I see is your face
4x
Get up by your strength, I rise up to thee
But Ill stay on my face if you will of me
Shape and mold me til your though
Humble myself, life laid down before you
I need your wisdom, so the truth I keep on living
And your love will always be a part of me
Cant do a thing, if I aint living for the kind
So dont ever leave or take your eyes off me
Its not who you are its who youre living for
Trials and tribulations will come

0037 Ode to the Patience of a Yawning Audience
O come sweet sleep, and close my eyes with verse!
with drowsy metre, meet a deeper sleep;
to sleep, to dream, I never am averse -
to slumber numbed by poet's numbers deep;
so, here's a verse that's very brief - a sonnet:
just fourteen lines to challenge your attention:
please rest your weary ears, I pray, upon it;
head up; back straight; let go of any tension;
count the passing seconds to that time
-I'll indicate it with a final couplet -
when glorious English in immortal rhyme
blesses you with torpor's blissful duvet...
and after tribute paid to Orpheus' charms,
with stifled yawn, depart to Morpheus' arms...

Comatose
The doors are closed and the walls are white
Someone calls but i don't want to talk tonight
Stay away you all want to.......stay away
I'm going to be all right......all right
Chorus:
Within the arms of slumber
Going to leave it all behind
Comatose gone under
Like all the other times
With pride and disdain i'm going to ignore this pain
When someone falls you're supposed to get up again
I try to oblige but i can't tonight
I'm going to be all right......all right
Chorus
Comfort of my dreams
I resign myself to you
Dream as i might
I'm sleeping when i'm blue
Such a pleasure when i feel myself go under
So stay away....stay away
While i'm in the arms of slumber
And i'm leaving it all behind
The magic of sweet morpheus you're doing it once again
You saved me from my sadness you saved me from my pain
Protect me from depression protect me one more night
And i'll be all right......all right
Chorus
Comfort of my dreams
I resign myself to you
Dream as i might
I'm sleeping when i'm blue
Such a pleasure when i feel myself go under
So stay away....stay away
While i'm in the arms of slumber

Soul Mate In Slumber
How often in my existence
I did dream of you!
No face a label
To name you by,
Yet still my sweet companion,
My soul mate in slumber.
I knew you in those dreams,
Your heart full of hope,
Your hero soul
Reaching skywards.
You looked after me
And gently showed me
The way to you.
And so our souls connected
So very long before
Our eyes did.
You are my destiny.
My faith, my joy is
An eternal declaration
To the love I have for you.
We have become one...
And so I begin.

Im Only Looking
I hear voices
Inside my head
Can I deceive
Can I believe
My whispering friends
What do I hear
About war and peace
What do I hear
About love and sex
Im delirious
For an answer
Im delirious
For an answer
Taking me deeper
And deeper in mind
Taking me deeper
And deeper in mind
Fascination for
Limits of love
Should I aim higher
And higher and higher
Will I break you
Like some possession
To leave my lesson
Taking me deeper
And deeper in mind
Taking me deeper
And deeper in mind
Im only looking
Taking me deeper
And deeper in mind

A Childs Dream
I use to watch my boy
When he was just one
As he slept the night away
In a dreamlike slumber land
He use to gurgle and smile
In his cute little way
Always made me wonder
What do children dream of?
Is it fluffy white clouds?
That drifts in a summer morn
Or is it twinkle little star
In the moonlight beam
Do they play with their loved ones?
In a candy land of dreams
Oh won't that be grand
Living life in candy land
Then he would just gurgle
His sweet little baby sound
Then softly I would tuck
In his cot so warm
And watch him once again
Drift off to never land
He is my insperation
He is my shining light
He was given to me in faith
So I cherish him for life

Eagles in a Canyon
soaring past the canyon walls
the babies hear their familiar calls
The parents are returning, synchronizing a stunt
to supply their babies with food from a hunt
This time the food was easy to fetch
for the goats were pushed, off the canyon's edge
To the rocks below, they fell to their death
now the pair zoomed in with no shortness of breath
bringing back to their babies, this elaborate catch
two baby goats for their chicks, a perfect match
Now they soar again, through the canyon walls
passing cascades of watery falls
To reach the tree, they call their own
and the beautiful home, they've always known.

Slumber Land
Take me off to slumber land,
the pleasantest place I know.
Let me talk with angels
for surely they do know
how to soothe my being,
how to soothe my mind,
how to make me understand
what's happening to mankind?
For my eyes when I'm awake
are weeping silently
while viewing sights unGodly
among humanity.
Do the angels in my dreams
see what I do see?
Or do they shy away from it
for it's not heavenly?
I know my angels wait for me
to fall asleep at night
so they can replace my daily scene
with serenity in my sight.

Playground of a Childs Mind
PlayGround Of A Mind
You might wake up to a morning of a silent thought
To a memory of distant friends you had tastefully sought
With remembrance of wasteful wars and things of past
And moan the expense of many splendor that did not last
You may hear the traces of footsteps in the canyon of your mind
It maybe some precious friend who thinks of you all the time
Like the foamy waves that keeps rushing to the sandy shore,
Gently restore your memory to your dear friends, once more.
When sunset face the west and in slumber you do retire,
Let the ruins of the long abandoned dreams speedily hire.
The joyous days that were nourished with love so strong.
With those so faraway and the friendships that did dawn!

March Of The Gherkins
Its been sometime since the smile
Upon my face
Had a sneak preview in town
Its been a while since I gave chase
Its been sometime since the girl
>from round my way
Came and took me by the hand
Its been a long time since I came around
I can remember when i
Stood on my head
And walking straight across the ground
I still picture the laughing faces
Catch me, Im falling into my past
Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh
I was told to grow up soon
Face my consequences
Being told it was high time
High time to come to my senses
Climbing up to the top floor
Stood the look of pleasure
Such a silly aged man
With an attic full of treasure
Catch me, Im falling into my past
Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh
I remember when I was ten
Things were somewhat better then
Time went by so easily
Is this the way lifes supposed to be, but
Looking back I wonder why
It seems to pass so quickly by
Memories can make you cry
I close my eyes, my tears I try to hide
I was thinking about
Tammo land
Of all the funny places
I was thinking a short time ago
Catch me, Im falling into my past
Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh
Catch me, Im falling into my past
Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh

The Sister's Lullaby
You would not slumber
If laid at my breast:
You would not slumber.
The river-flood beats
The swan from her nest:
You would not slumber.
And like that quick flood
My blood goes unguessed:
You would not slumber.
Times without number
Has called the wood quest:
Times without number.
As oft as she called
To me you were pressed:
Times without number.
Now you'd not slumber
If laid at my breast
Times without number.
O starling reed-resting,
I’ll rock you to rest:
So you will slumber.

Sleep Well
Sleep well my dear
And may you find the morning bright
And may your dreams of fond delight
Entrance you while you slumber.
Sleep well my dear
And may angels dance in fairytales
And ships float by with magic sails
To delight you while you slumber.
Sleep well my dear
And may your cares float clear away
And may you hear me softly say
I love you while you slumber.

Awakening
in the deep slumber, the echo of the night lives,
wondering the sweet experience of the past,
the lasting bastion of existence of the soul
a milk in the lips of the child, hold on the
breath of each day to survive, like lime of the
sweeten tongue of every lip quest its thirst
awake every deep sleep
sow then the fertile land of wheat, for
nothing would be hungry in the each stomach
that is full, uproot and lead every sweet
strengthen sweat that touches the ground nay,
lay not the hands to toil the land for death waits
no one in the grave
leave not to hold the closing eye the vision to
walk in the valley of tears, for only the presence
of the heart will tell where the night is falling
apart, in the dream that your eyes is open to close
just be there and hold me tight, the star is there
waiting to grasp the falling rainbow in your
eyes......

People who waits their beloved one in their
Deep sleep “

The Sms Piles of Sorrow
sms sms piles
all for attention
while I, who noticed
you try to think
it all revolves around coin
the jingle, gold, silver and copper
each has different weights
including that which ye
gold, silver or copper
dying souls
attached to the wishes
world, the cause of suffering
you try to think
why every weekend
they went to the mountains,
the lonely places
they want to let go of the pain of it
However, in the wrong way
not wrong, if tears
a sorrow flowers
