Sleep Talk

I was awakened by the words she spoke
 As she lay in slumber deep
 In her dreams her silence broke
 Her secrets now were mine to keep

 Then a name she did invoke
 As she lay there fast asleep
 Unloading guilt from off her yoke
 Truth was all that she could reap

 When morning came and she awoke
 My anger then began to show
 And once again her words provoked
 She called me Bob, my name is Joe!

Daniel Turner Date: 1/14/2017 5:25:00 PM Bummer! Great poem, Joseph:) Every time I try to write one for this contest, all I can come up with is that song by the Romantics. "I hear the secrets that you keep, at night when you're talking in you sleep" Login to Reply Joseph May Date: 1/14/2017 6:51:00 PM Thanks Daniel, I had trouble trying to come up with it as well...keep working on it ...
