Restless Nights

As the sun descends For its evening rest My eyes refuse to comply They constantly search for the light Keeping me awake deep into the night Poems of nonfiction and fiction Are quickly typed away My mind well beyond drain My eyes covet my more light My body is mysteriously awake But ready to crash as well The flood gates of uncertainty Are unfortunately opened Random thoughts of darkness Surreptitiously creep into my vulnerable mind Scared to death I hope this isn’t my last breathe A romantic tragedy Playing out in my mind I beg for sleep Suddenly I am awake But when I did I fall asleep I guess it was Just another Restless Night You can find more of my poems and writings at jorgesouthkorea.com
