Insomnia Poems - Poems about Insomnia

Insomnia By Evelyn Aimarie Sleep eludes me A winding serpent Iridescent and alluring In murky water. I grasp for her but her crow feather sheen black Scales glide through my fingers Like rough, cold, beautiful ink. Greased in memory- she slips. My mind is constructed, Carved by her teeth To mimic. Repeat Repeat Repeat. My mind is now of the same cloudy material, Broken pen...

Midnight, Hoots and despondent howls From crevasses of puking earth prompt weakness at slumber Webs! They encircle the pin-line threads of silence, viciously muted, Drawing porous patterns of maladroitness Dawn, Loose drops of old water, cusp-sized, blend with the rays of the Rising sun, smelting our principles. Images, Lachrymose consternations congeal the blood in our brows, Stifling the grace of blinking lashes And we lose patience. There’s a...

Have you ever been haunted (no you have not) by a ghost from the future not even born yet in your paper thin realm trolled from a time post human extinction it could only happen to you so-called dead in your grave still tossing and turning & scratching like a deviant moldering and unquiet one hundred years now and the whispers yes whispers from the...

Slept throughout the day, Feels like I’ve slept through my life. Wide awake I lay— It’s just that kind of night. I've become a spectator of my own life, Not a wink, even though I’ve turned off the light. Switching postures, counting sheep, Tried every last bit— I guess...

Here I am again Hours past midnight Listening to the thoughts in my head Will I sleep tonight?

I can't get no sleep. It's driving me mad, I'm going insane, Feeling delirious, inside my brain. Swivel-eyed, but it's not my end game, Babbling incoherently, telling fables, lies, Maybe one, maybe two. Some say I'm unhinged, Others think I'm crazed, Certainly not sane, I'm lost in a daze. My mind's a warped maze, No way in, no way out, What's that all about? Distorted from reality, Demented and...

It's almost 1 a.m., and I, shipwrecked in insomnia, lie with my eyes lost on the ceiling that silently tells its story, listening to the monotonous murmur of a world that never stops, even though within me, all the wheels have halted with a muffled grind, like a forgotten machine. I've wandered here before, haven't I? In this suspended space,...

Sleepless every night, My mind's deprived of the light. Even in midnight, I can't sleep tight. Sleep's always in delay, It feels like a replay. Can't rest even for a day, I feel like my body starts to decay. My eyes are heavy, But I can't rest idly. Every time my eyes shut, it's clingy, It feels like a demonic entity. When my eyes are open, I...
