Poem
I lay sleeping with eyes wide open, I lay sleeping with dreams that have no meaning, I lay sleeping with nothing to dream about. I lay sleeping with no care and sleep with eyes blind, I lay sleeping, there with my eyes wide open. Seeing the dark change from dark to black. There is no moon, there is no sky just purple strokes of paint in the sky. Take that morning dew smell and close your blind eyes. Smell the morning, that smell that clicks in your mind. The smell of childhood dreams, that as an adult never came true. Sleeping bare in the nude with your eyes wide open. Thinking of her, as she is five thousand miles away from you. Wanting to love and hold her, but no use in crying. Sleeping their with blind eyes in the dark that dances in the light. Your lamplight turned down low, as life trickeles down in its nightgown and yawns for sweet slumber. Tired from longs days, and sometimes long nights, wanting to curel in bed and close its blind eyes. Dusk will soon peek its head through the blinds and awake life to a new dawn. She sleeps in the morning, and walks at night. When he sleeps at night, and walks with a bare nude heart in the morning. Life climbs over yellow mountains, and meets her fellow compainion a handsome fellow with broud shoulders and blessed with an ego as I sleep there with my eyes wide open. As I sleep with my eyes blind to what life has intented for me, and as I raise to walk the lone streets at the break of the dew covered lawn at the first sweet smells of dawn, I can see life go on with the handsome man and I blind and wanting to go to bed. I dream of dreams that have no meaning Gardens of cluelessness and raging emotions tare me down and I am confused on which way to go. Do I stay here and dream away, blind and half awake as life slaps me across my broad cheek? Or shall I walk on with life hand and hand and regain my vision of the world, Start to sleep with dreams that make sense and dreams that are made of gold and have no end? Dream of fancy dreams that show love and happy endings I would love that, and I would love to walk with life, but she is out of my leauge. And my bed is so cozy and I feel like sleeping. So I shall sleep on more restless night chashing life down. I lay sleeping with my eyes wide open. I lay sleeping with dreams that have no meaning. I lay sleeping waiting for life to come back from the mountains and lay beside me. I lay sleeping with hope of regaining hope and salvage what is left of my spirit at hand.
