Wide Awake Ii

Insomnia isn't what this is...body feels the antithesis
   too many synapses tap dancing late
A recital of thoughts that wont disapate
  Body idle despite the cranium cartwheels--The heart feels ..
     much like a gerbil wheel spinning
              tireless night, patience is thinning
                   I
In the dark, there's no repression for forced out thought
Losing ten counts in bruising mind bouts 
   No preoccupation to mask this.... basque this in brighter shine
                        this is the jail-cell of night...
         With my past trangressions in sight,  I lay here reflecting
                  REM rejecting...as if everything's not alright

Lunar-revelation is my one-on-none time....
   Nights like these 
        make me spiteful 
              to morning birds that wake me
