Best Wide Awake Poems

Seeing the world fall 
the people failing one another 
I find solace in knowing
that even through life 
we are more than chemical reactions. 

Screaming through 3/8 inches 
of the human skull, 
longing for the rains- 
over the empty manor, 
Followed only by a sickening tapping....

They are called windows into the soul 
        Open them wide and notice
                 How you shine

Alone, isolated in the dark,
In fear and tears she was led.

To a place of night, so stark,
Her innocence taken, she bled.

She'd set out so independent,
So stubborn, to make it on her own.

A trust broken, a love bent,
The love that was never shown.

Now, alone, she cries...

Clattering coins 
forcefully flung 
inside a fragmented glass jar,

doleful howls full of misery, woe
nocturnal creatures arise,

rapid rotations, 
continual tornados

tedious echos beneath 
a derelict railway tunnel,

nefarious lightning 
strikes the thunder,

rolling immensely enraged
she roars fighter jets in fury,

disturbed bees, swarming their hive
stalking, terrorising, pestering

a solo stone plunges
down...

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

She called out in a loud voice in what was long since then 
Remembering back to that choice, what would have been
For now she was all alone with no place to hide that pain
Once the Light had shone, well, feelings are hard to feign

Falling down...

wide awake, wide alive 
 but i feel so dead inside
 cant shake this feeling
 i did alright, i did ok 
 breezed through the 
 rest of my day 

 all i have is night 
 all night
 darkness squeezed tight 
 every night...

It isn’t a dream when you feel wide awake
There’s only so much of this world I can take
It pulses through my veins, I’m starting to shake
Like a dream and a nightmare, but I’m wide awake
Not a dream nor a nightmare, cause I’m wide awake

Wide Awake (A Hero's Departure)


I awoke from a dream, a childlike slumber
Perfectly still, as to not let the vision 
slip
Within the eyes of a child, a hero was
born
Safe, soft, a beautiful gift
But in moments of deepest despair,
No hero remained, or had existed 
at all
(it would...

Wide Awake At Two Plus Hours After Midnight...
(actually, now at present time juiced 
well nigh high noon same day)

On this January nineteenth
tooth thousand and nineteen
dogged by an earlier notion
searching soul to glean,
(while at Collegeville Diner)
above place previously wrought 
poem hammered from this peon
expounded possibly seen,

Time does not
Have to pass through the hands
But through absorbent eyes
Extending hours
With their gaze
Would the hands, the eyes,
The gaze exist
If it weren't for
The beholder?
I am real as I can take
I'm sleeping wide awake...

I woke from a dream the other day
To find the memories that had run
To faded images and distorted sounds
Of what was the lingering sensation
Of a blissful oblivion

I woke from a dream the other day
The monotone greys that filled the air
And notes that sounded flat as...

We haven’t got long the daylight is coming
Creeping through the curtains disturbing this sleep
The morning has broken this dream turns to ashes
You smile it fades like an old photograph
But worry not lover for ill be back soon
When night has fallen by the light of the...

Dreaming wide awake
.by Heather Jacobs on Monday, 27 June 2011 at 12:24.Dreaming Wide Awake

 

She was dreaming wide awake and she had broken through the barriers to her soul,

She was walking on a tightrope and there were no nets around to break her fall,

She was...

Drip, snore, drip, snore, drip...
