Restless Nights
As the sun descends
For its evening rest
My eyes refuse to comply
They constantly search for the light
Keeping me awake deep into the night
Poems of nonfiction and fiction
Are quickly typed away
My mind well beyond drain
My eyes covet my more light
My body is mysteriously awake
But ready to crash as well
The flood gates of uncertainty
Are unfortunately opened
Random thoughts of darkness
Surreptitiously creep into my vulnerable mind
Scared to death
I hope this isn’t my last breathe
A romantic tragedy
Playing out in my mind
I beg for sleep
Suddenly I am awake
But when I did I fall asleep
I guess it was
Just another
Restless Night
