Just One of Them Sleepless Night

Somehow you found yourself wide awake Not lonely but unsure of what to do Your other half is sound asleep and dreaming away You yourself is far from sleepy Your body is too energize from all the caffeines You’re far from famish Exercising isn’t your thing Facebook became boring Sudoku got tiresome Nothing is good on TV but obnoxious fake news Read all your books Did all you house chores Completed your last puzzle Spent hours on poetry soup And now... you’re laying on the recliner chair rocking away and staring up at the ceiling Staring but unvisualized Yes your mind is jam packed with thoughts But what are they Your legs are restless Wiggling them toes Pulling on your hair Then switching to bite your nails Seriously ~ gross Sighing Looking at the clock It’s well after midnight Oh yeah your mind blink and say oh time to sleep Your eyes shut your mind down to NOT yet and blinking madly Your mind sped off in black and white And you continue to rock yourself on the recliner And so the night goes on Wiggling them toes Pulling on the hair Staring up away Unnoticed of the approaching dawn Somehow you managed to remember to turn the lights off And everything went blank ————— Goodnight my soupers
