NODS, NAPS AND NIGHT-TIMES:



Why do those nods, naps & night-times go by so fast?
Those siesta afternoons, so rapid & then over & past,
The after dinner eyes closed & mouth-gaping snores,
While outside the wind howls & down the rain pours.

In the arms of Morpheus, where the only peace reigns,
Moments snatched, in amble down sleepy lidded lanes,
Ensconced within rocker, upon hot summer day porch,
Serenaded by fat bees, droning, far too lazy to scorch.

In the drippings, droolings & those soft sultry dreamings,
Curtains drawn, against the screeching, cruel screamings,
Mouths open, eyes closed, against all reality´s dawnings,
Nods, naps, night-times, forty winks in soft rueful yawnings.
