Robertina B. Poet Free verse

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..
