Insomnia

The nights are dark.. The nights are long Full moon glowing.. Many sleepless nights .. Tossing and turning Eyes are wide opened.. Insomniac events explodes.. Desperation sets in.. An invasion of fear.. Body is fatigued Deep dark thoughts multiplies.. Delerium is my friend.. As distortions occur through the night.. A never ending night.. An eternity it seems.. A battle with insomnia Hoping and praying for shut eye.. The sleep state awaits me.. It has been over due... The dream state awaits me .. Followed by the various sleep cycles.. A tranquil, peaceful, calming sleep.. Awaits.. Tranquility soon shall dominate insomnia.. A battle with insomnia shall end Defeating insomnia along with sleepless nights.. A beautiful vision of sweet dreams awaits..

Insomnia is horrible and I've suffered dreadfully since my hubby had his cancer surgery in 2013 but his surgery kick started me writing so I can be active and use the time wisely and write when i can't sleep. i often wake with a complete limerick in my head!:-) hugs jan xx
