Waking Up is Hard to Do - by Joyce Angelica Verdad

Drifting to sleep, my eyelids comply and they close. Eyes shut but my mind is running like crazy, weaving my dreams for tonight. Not surprisingly I see you there. You never leave my thoughts during the day, why would it be any different at night?

Once in a While - by Joyce Angelica Verdad

Whisper my name as you touch my cheek
and after you pull it back 
I can still feel its warmth
gaze into my eyes as you continue to talk

Seeing Nonsense - by Joyce Angelica Verdad

When around you
I see ants dancing in circles
doing the tango around a bright yellow mango.

Poem 20 - by Pablo Neruda

Tonight I Can Write 
Tonight I can write the saddest lines. 
Write, for example, "The night is starry 
and the stars are blue and shiver in the distance."
