Just That Archaic Poet Poet Rhyme

Sleepy, Tired, Hungry, Thirsty

Drown me deep in Seas of Sleep,
And never would I want to wake
To Lies of Life that make me weep
(By slumbered Dreams of me as Sheep)
I hunger for a "normal" life,
Weary for a willing "Wife",
And though I thirst, drink very worst-
The Darkened Days just filled with Strife!

Richard Lamoureux August 20, 2013 at 7:21 PM That does not sound like a good combination. I hope all your needs are met. Awake, Energized, Content, Refreshed Richard Lamoureux August 22, 2013 at 7:40 PM My pleasure. Just That Archaic Poet August 21, 2013 at 9:01 AM lol It's a terrible combination, and it's also an expression (or lament) I've heard my mother say a million times in jest. I think this poem has a "desperate" feel to it, so I wanted a title that reflected some kind of universal desperation. I appreciate you stopping by for a read, Richard :)
