Defining Sleep
Sleep: An act done by oneself.
Almost seems silly to ask for assistance when it is the act of channeling ones
individually unique
center-stage by centering ones consciousness.
To be here by myself,
all alone I perceive a problem.
Despite more than enough peace and quiet,
I am driven to an insanely hypnopompic state by my own pleas,
to no longer be tortured and pained and kept from slumber by simple separation
from the only remedy I require to reach a relieving saccadic stage,
found effortlessly when lying next to you.
No matter what air, region, or pallet benevolence is formed upon,
I swear it true that you bring with a distinguished state of slumber
that can not be revamped, copied, or stolen.
So I lie here redefining this “Sleep” and state that it must be preformed,
if wished to be done so properly and propitiously,
with you by side.
Right or left matters not,
I give you the choice,
for both sides of the fence have been lusciously green.
I leave on a note of thanks that has been jotted wholeheartedly
stating that your helping-hand is greatly adored.
I often find it a difficult task to ask for assistance and can not quite recall requesting
your’s, slightly stunned I standby then ask pretentiously
“How did you know I needed you there?”
