Insomniacs Poems - Poems about Insomniacs

Trash Trucks

...
Chirpy birds disturb my deep sleep.
Sky pastels reflect in a somber ashen tinge.
Sun seems to be lost in a floating mist,
cloaking wet slates and chimney smoke.

As lamp lights reflect...

Circling the Square

...Can nothing extend 
beyond something…

Can never be
possibly where…

Can dreamers awaken
the insomniacs sleep…

Can no place
ever be there…

The Good Ship Dreamtime

...This is the good ship Dreamtime
And she sets sail every night
Weighing anchor for her cruise
With the fading of the light.
Her passengers are all dreaming
That they are all still awake
Sufferin...

It's a Play Dough

...Time warped, perception bleak. Clay bodies falling apart.

The shift of stance in reality motions the notion, that inherits a vast chasm of possible retribution.

Cracked mood shifts met with ins...

Nip At the Cauldron

...-Nip At The Cauldron-

My mind full, like the moon outside. My brethren say; '’Sleep well, worthy adversary.’’ As he ventured forth unto his domain, for a final nip of the cauldron before hitting t...

Escape From Chestnut's Edge

...The split level blinks
	at Chestnut End under 
	twilight's tremble, ripping me, 
	the oily menhaden bait,
	from the under boot

The Chestnut dwellers bold
interrogative flushes him down 
then...

Perspectives

...I might have seen,
(not on a movie or television screen),
but had looked where the mind flickers
when I am not there 
      to block the view.

In that place, where my dreams
see through a dar...

To Sleep

...Sleep's suspended awareness as nothingness reigns.
It's when bedding is mussed and disheveled is hair.
It's a welcome escape, anesthetic for pains,
And a physical must--time for rest and repair...

Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep

...When you play fifty or sixty 
scrabble games day
you get incessant beeps 
on your cell phone


day and night, 
weekends, and week days.
It is a comfort 
knowing other insomniacs are up,
not...

Count Your Blessings, Fellow Insomniacs

...How easily we nod off at dawn
                      
                       ~ though we can't a wink sleep all night...

Over Exhausted

...This exhaustions overwhelming 
It's draining and it's grueling 
Day in and day out 
This exhaustion it is ruling 

The exhaustion shows on time 
From lack of sleep I get 
Night on top of night...

All I's On Me

...Ideas instantly infest imaginations
& it  could lead to inqueries
From imbusiles with iffy intelligence
There indecision will never get em
In position to be anything more
Than inconsistent, if t...

Exhaustion

...
A savior slain by restlessness
In a land without solace
The sun never sets
Illuminating everything
Descend into madness
A craven fool
Who are you to seek asylum
In the Underworld
Yo...

Raving and Misbehavior

...I can dream for us both
Time and time again 
Beneath Strobe Light's 
And dance clubs 
Orchestrating strings of ecstatic joy
In smoke pulsed 
Insomniacs blanket's 
Of desire raving steps 
Fast...
