Exhaustion
I feel like I’m perpetually exhausted
Like no day geos by that I actually have energy
Days turn into weeks that turn into months
I can’t remember the last time I didn’t feel tired
The exhaustion is overwhelming sometimes
And some days I just want to sleep right through
Yet I still have trouble falling asleep
I need it but I can’t get it
It’s a vicious cycle that I can’t seem to break
Like no day geos by that I actually have energy
Days turn into weeks that turn into months
I can’t remember the last time I didn’t feel tired
The exhaustion is overwhelming sometimes
And some days I just want to sleep right through
Yet I still have trouble falling asleep
I need it but I can’t get it
It’s a vicious cycle that I can’t seem to break

Afternoon Nap
embracing her warmth
cool damp pacific breezes
peaceful deep slumber

THREE SHIFTS IN
three shifts in
and my heart is a sparrow
beating wing against bone
and the brain almost full on
reptilian
and i swear i could crawl
up this wall
and burrow out
through the ceiling
(the floor being concrete
but, hell, I could claw
through wood and shingle)
but i'm too tired anyway
and so i'm just here
doing my bit
another two, maybe three hours
then the drive home
and, finally,
sleep
and my heart is a sparrow
beating wing against bone
and the brain almost full on
reptilian
and i swear i could crawl
up this wall
and burrow out
through the ceiling
(the floor being concrete
but, hell, I could claw
through wood and shingle)
but i'm too tired anyway
and so i'm just here
doing my bit
another two, maybe three hours
then the drive home
and, finally,
sleep

Transfigured
Staring at the sky,
Lamenting for want of love
A loner questions light
And life itself. A shooting
Star rejects his misery.

ONE OF THE THIRD
I'm one of 'the third'
who go to bed nuuhd,
not donning PJ's
at the end of days
but hit the sack peeled,
as survey revealed.
Go into the night
with bits out of sight
under the covers
(lone or with lovers),
tasting the freedom
from clothes. (Who needs 'em?)

Obfuscated
My heart races with each passing moment
in the grim darkness of my bedroom,
in the corner of my ear I can hear someone walking
while crispy leaves scrape along my window.
The trees groan at the beck and call of the wind,
in-tune with the subtle shifting of the walls around me.
A mumble barely creeps into earshot over the ceiling fan,
while still the leaves blow in the cold night wind.
The tension of eternal night grips me firmly.
in the grim darkness of my bedroom,
in the corner of my ear I can hear someone walking
while crispy leaves scrape along my window.
The trees groan at the beck and call of the wind,
in-tune with the subtle shifting of the walls around me.
A mumble barely creeps into earshot over the ceiling fan,
while still the leaves blow in the cold night wind.
The tension of eternal night grips me firmly.

Insomnia
Insomnia you wretched whore
These long sleepless nights are such a bore
This reeling mind
Keeps watching time
How long has it been
Will I ever sleep again
I toss and I turn
Will I ever learn
To understand my mind
Counting seconds, minutes, hours I find
I’m powerless against your hold
Will you still be here as I get old
My whole life you’ve taunted me
Why can’t you just let me be
Insomnia you wretched whore
These long sleepless nights are such a bore
This reeling mind
Keeps watching time
How long has it been
Will I ever sleep again
I toss and I turn
Will I ever learn
To understand my mind
Counting seconds, minutes, hours I find
I’m powerless against your hold
Will you still be here as I get old
My whole life you’ve taunted me
Why can’t you just let me be
Insomnia you wretched whore

Can't sleep
Can't sleep
Frowning , so tired but in these thoughts
Drowning In memories , I can't pass the middle of this hour glass but the sands of time past through me .
Can't sleep
Having feelings of guilt from the stupid stuff I did to myself and the selfishness sells like discounted clothes with only slight defects .
Reflects burning and image in me , LCD screen left on over night settings too bright leaving the lines .
Can't sleep
I'm wide awake , for fuck sakes I got to be up in three hours , taking a shower , iron my shirt to...
