Silent slumber and undisturbed peace
With music whirling about through the thickened air
The grace of unconscious fallen on an angel
The wonderful metronome keeping time…
Tick tock, tick tock…
As the dancers wind across a speckled floor
Tick tock, tick tock…
As velvet wings lift their burden high among the clouds,
It ticks on…
Tick
Tock
A constant beat…
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep…
Why is it so harsh and loud?
Alarm clock intoning again…
Damn.
Beep, beep, beep, beep.
Dreams do last, deep within your mind
At least until 5:30 am
Beep, beep, beep, beep.
{"...until the day I die..."}
You think it would end already?

The fourth stanza was the best. Somehow, I associate velvet with the color violet, so that was awesome.
There was a rather dry humor to it that made me laugh. I see my picture of "Jackie in the Morning" except and anger Jackie. 
I'm sure I told you about the dream where I was singing and I got stuck on this one note, and I woke up and it was the same tone as my alarm clock.

round these parts we call a song stuck in the head "radio-head",
i am glad to see radio head inspired such a cool write. glad i stopped by!
peace, justine -
I just hate it when I am having a good dream and I lose it because I am waking up. Oh well, I have a rich fantasy life. I thought your poem had and interesting perspective and relayed it well. Good poem. I am saving points, so I will deprive you of your applause, but you deserve it.
