Sleepless Night
It’s 1:25 why oh why
Am I up at this hour
Did the phone ring
Or was it a denim dream
Planted in mind like green flower
Earlier today was only half awake
Was fatigued and really annoyed
Not even piano could I play
To fill the blue thrilless void
Oh poetry come rescue me
Give breath to dormant thoughts
Green like my snake plant leaves
Or red like bedroom lover hearts
Take me to your room poetic muse
And strip me of my clothes
Let our kinetic kisses burgundy bloom
Placed from head to brown toes
Rid me of this waste of night
Where fireflies dance upon moonlight
Give me inspiration for life
Devour me like blackberry pie.
