& a conversation
i want nothing
to do with [dream here]
could just be 2 people
talking to 2 more people
talking while [dream here]
I wonder when they stopped
playing music [dream here]
in these spaces, how loud
it is to now [dream here]
Hunger and #hiraeth for Mother's cooking spur me to reproduce several varieties of Arandan meat pies. Although no match for the homemade versions, eating so many, so fast produces a #soporific effect. That's fine. Only in my dreams can I enjoy my mother's sweet caress.

Our youth sat in rows of desks at the town hall for the national exam, which could qualify them for university - and a one-way ticket to the city. A #soporific smoke filled the testing room and they passed out, tests unfinished. We needed hands for the harvest: we couldn't take any chances.

Heavy heart
Empty art
Shallow gifts
Narrow lives
Fear on the spectrum
Feeling moronic
Not that smart
Just melting in a windy sun
Falling in bathed soporific acid
Make it so i dream
Forget to wake up
Feel what’s love
Just experience what it is
To live
#vss365 #Soporific
Self induced heartbreak
Seldom high
Too low
Toxic medicine
Harmless love
Only hate hurts me well
Dizzy from exhaustion
Soporific state of life
Anticlimactic express
Hit by the worry bus
Busted by misery
Due to expectational happiness
I never seem to learn
#vss365 #Soporific
So terrific
This damning feeling
Collapsing heart
Soporific art
Black mold
Darker shades of iris
Blinding darkness
Wanting to give in
Fearing to give up
Like i have a choice

#Hiraeth arise
#Eclipse my mind
Suspend me in a #soporific state
Sanitized, incised and #sutured
Each stitch expected
To #dissolve without a #trace
And yet
I still feel the #scar
See the #pallor of your face

You watched me splinter,
my grief a storm you named,
and as the howling winds lost breath,
as the torrent of rain dried up,
it was not comfort —
but #soporific defeat
that took my hand
and laid me to rest.
"What do you think of her latest book?"
" #Soporific."
"Really? Too bad."
"Oh no! Haven't slept better in months! I don't wanna finish it!"

Dear #vss365 ers
funny
how a word meant for sleep
woke something in us;
opiums, whispers,
desire dressed as rest.
we dreamt aloud
and called it poetry.
Thanks for making this most unexpected prompt #soporific a hit..
Regards,
Anish
Next prompt live in about 90 minutes.
A soporific kiss
Sweeter than a dream I'll have
Unless that dream is you
Hiding under linen sheets
A silhouette of goddess hood
Still my favorite view
Undulating twists and turns
Our spines a tangled mess
I could stay forever here
My cheek upon thy breast
#poetry #micropoetry #soporific
#Soporific silk —
The sound of your voice
Draping my thoughts
Soft decibels entwining
This secret love
Of course, I’ll never tell you
How many butterflies
You stirred to life;
Even your breathing
Flickers warm candlelight
Slowly illuminating
The dark corridors
Of my most shameless desires
#vss365
dissolve slowly
bittersweet memories
into soporific summer afternoons
whence you were born
and promise me
from there
you shall never return
#vss365 #soporific #poetry
#soporific scents
perfumes of dusk and showers
cloud every secret

The Proof is in the Poutine didn't normally advocate coups (that was more of a Peach Schnapps & the Poltergeists deal), but the sea creatures of Oceanius XII needed a wake up call from their #soporific slumber and the tyranny they lived with. A tidal shift in thinking, if you will.
#vss365
The #soporific strains of Penny Poutine's bass lines fade away as Peach Poutine screams into the mike:
KICK OUT THE CLAMS MOTHERFUCKER!
On Oceanius XII, the proletariat phytoplankton glow in response. Revolution foments.
The bourgeois bivalvians were in the soup now.

"I see. What if there was a visible address on it for misdirection?"
She rolled her eyes and said dryly, "Gee, why didn't I think of that? They're blanks, they haven't been printed yet." A moment later she added, "This is getting #soporific. Do you need anything else?" #vss365
plump cicada’s whir
steady, soporific, slow
thick dripping honey

Slouched low in a back row seat of the lecture hall, his head rested on the top of the seatback. The cozy, warm room combined with the #soporific lecturer pulled the student to dreamland, and he was no longer resisting. #vss365

The faucet-drip echoed without help.
She hadn’t slept in peace—ever.
She knew “zero water” meant
genocide's violent flag colors.
She rose, bone-tired, opened her laptop,
and wrote to Algeria’s UN chair, now.
Sleep could wait. Life couldn’t;
so it didn't. #vss365

“What’s not to love?!” He said, voice raised. “Want great tv with a great story? Boom! Feeling #soporific and want to fall asleep, yet not feel like you missed something? It’s got that too!”
There weren’t many things he vehemently defended, but COLUMBO was definitely one of them.

Each night,
the soporific
hush of dark
ushers in the
shape of you;
not quite memory,
not quite ghost,
but something
tender that lingers.
Your eyes bloom
behind mine,
a silent flicker
beneath closed lids.
I never ask
you to stay,
yet you return,
always,
without question.
#vss365 #poetry #soporific
Are we writing
The last human words
The world
Will ever read…
As machines rise up
Replacing every
Mortal urge
And deed?
In our
#Soporific shuffle
Will we miss
World’s shift to speed?
Will machines
Choose to ignore us
Once our world to them
We cede?
#vss365
My remedies were never wasted on the night
Saved for the days.
The #soporific nature of salvation
Too delicious to waste on sleep.
I turned my daylight hours
Into a dreamscape.
Denying the harsh reality,
In the haze of the hope that came
in the unburdening of my consciousness.
