Sleep Issues | G. S. Katz

Drank a pint of Smithwicks around 7pm
Split a plate of nachos with a friend
Drank 2 fingers of Wild Turkey 101 at 9:30pm
Ate Chicken and pasta around 10pm
Small arugula salad too
Hard some coconut sorbet at 10:30
Fell asleep watching political rhetoric at 11pm
Went to official bed

Dreamed about Mister Ed
The talking horse TV show
Told my wife about it at 3am
She was partially asleep
Had never heard of Mister Ed
She’s a UK product
Told me I was crazy

Tossed and turned after that
Took melatonin at 4am
Finally fell asleep at 6am
Up at 8
The moral of the story ?

Duh
Beats me

Dream | Liquid Gold

A great man once said demonstration speaks louder than conversation.
So instead of talking about travelling the world with you,
how about I just take you for a vacation?
A trip into the depths of my mind.
I think like no other person does,
I’m one of a kind.

Kind of you to even consider loving me knowing the amount of people you must have left behind.
The certainty in your actions make me believe that if time offered you a chance to rewind,
you would still choose to be mine.

A woman like you is a rarity,
losing you would scare me.
The missing piece to my puzzle,
you fit in my life perfectly.
Your attributes are admirable,
your achievements are legendary.

You’ve got the intelligence of a scientist,
just as well we got chemistry.
The way you inspire me to be better,
only you could bring that out of me.
Transmuting a man from copper to gold,
that’s your definition of alchemy.

As you stare out over the balcony seeing falcons and eagles,
hearing seagulls and beagles,
the animal kingdom appreciates you’re the queen of the jungle.
There’s no reason to mumble,
be loud and proud about it.
You have a bright future and there’s no doubt about it.

Alleviate my stress.
Let me levitate on your compliments. Complementary like condiments.
We don’t have time for arguments,
we break down issues and build up tents of security. Your vocal tone is filled with purity.

Soothe me with your lexicon,
your vast range of vocabulary.
Communication in a relationship is necessary.
Let me introduce you to my dictionary.
The emotions you elicit from me are beyond extraordinary.
I can feel the love in the air like its the middle of February.

Can’t call you my better half because you’re more than whole to me.
I know what you’re capable of and it’s time for the whole world to see.
Thoughts coming through my head right this second telling me to let you go.
But how could I ever do that when you’re the person that helps me grow?
I know it’s forbidden love but rules are made to be broken.
If I dream that we get married, I pray that I’m never woken.

Be Who You Are | Ann Christine Tabaka - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Be Who You Are | Ann Christine Tabaka

“Be who you are” they say.
But who I am
is not who I
want to be …
dream to be …
need to be …
I desire to be so much more.
To soar above the drab and mundane
that fills my days.
To shine brighter than now.
To grow beyond safe.
My voice to lift above the throng,
and be heard throughout the echo of time
To not be limited by
“who you are.”
