Sleepless Nights

Tireless thoughts flowing aimlessly Unceasing in their constant bombardment Against my militia of dreams Retreating back, they are as fast as they are sweet   Senses unfatigued Resilient to wear and Sleep's silent onslaught Merciless against Slumber's war Winning every battle with the slight brush of a fingertip   Dewey-eyed lust. like mist, evaporates with a blink of an eye Unanswering;  with motives unknown, it keeps you guessing Progressing unspoken love. Restlessly defeated with every flash of ivory   Sleep- unwanted but very much needed I disown for you. By Nicholas A. Bello
