Sleep(less)
There’s a perfect dissonance in the chords,
Without words,
Off rhythm and off tempo…
It’s going to be a sleepless night.
And yet in what seems like a dream,
I hear voices amidst harmonies,
Mixing and interweaving through my head as I lay in bed thinking about the loneliest hours.
I have no view of the moon through my window,
But I’m absorbed by the sounds of the dark,
Waiting for the restful slumber,
My soul is lost in the specifics of nothing,
But I hear the chords again,
A slight chorus and then
Trailing off...
Without words,
Off rhythm and off tempo…
It’s going to be a sleepless night.
And yet in what seems like a dream,
I hear voices amidst harmonies,
Mixing and interweaving through my head as I lay in bed thinking about the loneliest hours.
I have no view of the moon through my window,
But I’m absorbed by the sounds of the dark,
Waiting for the restful slumber,
My soul is lost in the specifics of nothing,
But I hear the chords again,
A slight chorus and then
Trailing off...

Subservient
The only time
I am free
is when sitting
in the dark
You think I’m sleeping
or maybe reading
but I lie awake here
every night
I shroud myself
in daytime
lay bidding to
your master plans
I’ll lose sleep
to escape this nightmare
and I’ll be free of you
in the end
I am free
is when sitting
in the dark
You think I’m sleeping
or maybe reading
but I lie awake here
every night
I shroud myself
in daytime
lay bidding to
your master plans
I’ll lose sleep
to escape this nightmare
and I’ll be free of you
in the end

Sheepless In Seattle
Restless, I could not sleep
didn't really give a sheep
So ... I brewed some coffee
attempted to write a poem
In my sleepless, sheepless head
consciousnessly streaming
a shallow creeky bed, I
waded through the night
daydreaming of you
more precisely
us, instead
oblivious to the silence
and creep of moonlight
in our home
didn't really give a sheep
So ... I brewed some coffee
attempted to write a poem
In my sleepless, sheepless head
consciousnessly streaming
a shallow creeky bed, I
waded through the night
daydreaming of you
more precisely
us, instead
oblivious to the silence
and creep of moonlight
in our home

4 am Again
Has sleep ran
From me?
Or my thinking
Chased it away?
Is it the quietness
That makes the
Clock tick loud?
Or could it be
My worrys on
My mind?
I can not recall
How long it's been
I've actually
Slept sound
Has it been
A week ago?
Perhaps a month?
Here lately
I'm uncertain
Of anything anymore
Here it is
Again 4am
I've got to
Sleep tonight
My crazy thoughts
I plea to cease
Hoping to remember
The poetry
I've written
In the pages
of my mind ...
From me?
Or my thinking
Chased it away?
Is it the quietness
That makes the
Clock tick loud?
Or could it be
My worrys on
My mind?
I can not recall
How long it's been
I've actually
Slept sound
Has it been
A week ago?
Perhaps a month?
Here lately
I'm uncertain
Of anything anymore
Here it is
Again 4am
I've got to
Sleep tonight
My crazy thoughts
I plea to cease
Hoping to remember
The poetry
I've written
In the pages
of my mind ...

Depression
Here I am apathetic
Again drawn to comfort in nothing
Insomnia drags on like a pull on a cigarette
Unable to sleep unable to breathe
The world crushing down on me
Suffering my existence
It's a crisis
Eyelids heavy but they never seem to close
Blankly staring at the ceiling
Where shadows dance and my
Hemophiliac mind tells me
"Schizophrenia"
"Cancer"
"Anxiety"
Somethings wrong with me
I just can't put my finger on it
Unwilling to face the day in confidence
I just want to fucking sleep
Again drawn to comfort in nothing
Insomnia drags on like a pull on a cigarette
Unable to sleep unable to breathe
The world crushing down on me
Suffering my existence
It's a crisis
Eyelids heavy but they never seem to close
Blankly staring at the ceiling
Where shadows dance and my
Hemophiliac mind tells me
"Schizophrenia"
"Cancer"
"Anxiety"
Somethings wrong with me
I just can't put my finger on it
Unwilling to face the day in confidence
I just want to fucking sleep

Sleep eludes me
The midnight hour entraps me
No sleep will I find
Tossing askew and turning
I attempt to unwind
Eluding is the slumber
Dark and deep divine
Nights left to outnumber
Too many to define
Guide me to peaceful respite
Oh my God my light
Help me with my plight
Bless my sleep tonight
No sleep will I find
Tossing askew and turning
I attempt to unwind
Eluding is the slumber
Dark and deep divine
Nights left to outnumber
Too many to define
Guide me to peaceful respite
Oh my God my light
Help me with my plight
Bless my sleep tonight

Late Night Thoughts About my Upcoming Trip
Late at night, when I can't sleep, I find,
That you've taken hold of my mind,
You haunt me like a ghost,
In my dreams of what I wish most...
A life, a love, with you....
Just to hold your hand,
Every obstacle, together, we could withstand...
Just leaning my head on your shoulder, arms around you, saying nothing,
Yet with one look into your eyes, saying everything....
Just to curl up beside you,
And chitchat the whole night through,
Talking about our hopes and dreams for the future,
Our love so pure....
I live...
That you've taken hold of my mind,
You haunt me like a ghost,
In my dreams of what I wish most...
A life, a love, with you....
Just to hold your hand,
Every obstacle, together, we could withstand...
Just leaning my head on your shoulder, arms around you, saying nothing,
Yet with one look into your eyes, saying everything....
Just to curl up beside you,
And chitchat the whole night through,
Talking about our hopes and dreams for the future,
Our love so pure....
I live...

A Most Pained, Dull Absence
When she went, (died),
a major portion
of my heart/soul went
with her.
I do not believe
there is sufficient time left
for me to hope
for any retrieval of any of it.
Each day, every day the flow of tears holds sway
over all that is seen, felt, and thought.
And that's All, (folks), all that can ...
a major portion
of my heart/soul went

there is sufficient time left
for me to hope

Each day, every day the flow of tears holds sway
over all that is seen, felt, and thought.
