Should consist of one last wish
Dreams and not nightmares...

My tears keep flowing

Never wanting to stop

Flowing because of a depression

Flowing, longing for an eternal sleep...

If curiosity killed the cat
But satisfaction indeed brought them back
Then you must have been slain by joy complete
For you to go to eternal sleep, resting now in perfect peace....

(The Baby Machine)

Beautiful Selene, goddess of the moon
With her lover Endymion she did spoon
So prolific was she
Fifty daughters from he
Gave him eternal sleep in a cocoon

I hurt so badly
The pain is deep
I cry at night
I cant sleep
my stomachs knotted
I cant eat
my chest feels heavy
I cant breath
I feel desperation
I feel despair
I feel im slipping
No one cares
I take this blade
the cut is deep
I rest my eyes
eternal sleep...

honor those that went too young
uniforms soiled with blood and debris
youth left on a battlefield
learning at what cost the price

resting in eternal sleep
flags lined up in a row
headstones whitewashed in the sun
flowers and memory mark your place...

Having a little dark fun
A scary night
Little children dressed up as monsters
Lets dance in the moonlight
Oh no someones following me
Will this night ever come to an end
Everyone knows the crazies come out
Eternal sleep comes to an end
Now the vampires and werewolves are sated...

The Journey
Written: by Tom Wright
10-11-2011

Twas not his ultimate destination
causing him to weigh deep
laying supine upon his bed at night.

But rather mind’s journey fixation
That would transport him to eternal sleep.
This alone, caused sleep’s flight.

(The Vietnam Memorial)

Here is a wall, in which
to weep
For, My Loved One's memory,
it does keep
The soldiers, for whom, My
feelings run deep
Who, this awful fate, had come
to reap
Although, the price of being an
AMERICAN, doesn't come cheap
With honors, did they succumb to
Eternal Sleep...

Not often do we see
    A whisk of softness
    In the air
As we journey along in life
    And come full circle
    With our Eternal sleep
Nor does time always allow
    Us to remember
The softer moments
    And reflect 
   Or count our blessings
For we know not
How small or large
    The circle will be....

In my dream last night, Prophesied,
if I let him shut his eye for a second
He would fall into an eternal sleep
My brother on his bed was lying
tired and wary wanting some rest
I move on to his king size bed
lying beside with my hands wrapping him
for a minute he closed his eyes
and I was engulfed in my own loud cries

Eternal Sleep of mine
Wish could come at a better time
The work still unknown
but sleep seems grown
The bitter pillar that I consumed
but truth still doomed
Perfect path I took
I was on tenter hook
Though the hopes were high
for the fog still loomed
The hoary glasses
look is unknown
I rub my eyes
Could I see the sky
But the moon seems unknown...

Last Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep
Medication Russian Roulette
Praying to the lord my soul he shall keep
Please God don’t let me awake
I yearn to embark on this slumber
A slumber which knows no end
Closing my eyes; never to open again
The one thing I ask dear Lord
May my loved ones never weep
For embarking on my eternal sleep

By: Tim Lundmark...

I will close my eyes
and a last more sigh
now no more dreams
just the truth will gleam
you will be with me
and I will be with you
till the nights are dark 
and oceans are blue
let my heart shout
and my lips be sealed
let my emotions burn
and my body freeze
this mystic journey of mine
will go deep and deep
for all that i plead
is THE ETERNAL SLEEP...

Hands,
Holding snow,
Bloom into flowers.
Petals fall in bliss,
Time alone tends our shrine.
Fireflies pierce through the summer's darkness,
Painting gold, our tears of ephemeral youth.
Peace descends. Spring approaches us with wreaths, lanterns,
The silver grass is colored by our family portrait.
With love, a kaleidoscope endures an eternal sleep with spring....

Worn out – with no more fight –  
and Shredded on the sharp edges of the struggle  
is my existence.

If I have one more chance to change
I would let that chance go by,
'cause this the day I chose to die.

Let me not feel this nothingness.
Feed me to the gulf of sweet eternal sleep; 
expire me swiftly.
Take away this numbness, 
let me go quietly
into the peace perfect peace....

Cancer of My Soul
By: M. Morton

A cigarette sits and turns to ash
As the disease of memory grows
I twist and turn as I feel each lash
It feasts upon my suffering
That voice, a constant muttering
Staining the me that no one else knows

No cure to this
That I can find
Just a bleeding wrist
And a slumber so deep
The promise of eternal sleep
Freedom for the first and only time...

Though quickstep I,
O'er the miry field.
Where thousands alike,
Have trod before.
There's one who discerns,
The tracks I yield.
And for each soul,
Those tracks that remain in store.

On 9-11 past, tracks ceased,
As many succumbed to eternal sleep.
Carnage, came as brimstone,
From early morning's falling sky.
Through wetted eye,
Man weighs the deep.
Incapable of comprehending,
The reason why?...

if you stop my heart from beating, 
will you breath me back to life, 
kiss the tears from my cheeks, 
one day call me your wife, 
if you steal my breath from my chest, 
and i fall into eternal sleep, 
promise me that youll kiss me, 
and that our love will always breath, 
burn it with the fire, 
so that it never ends, 
and even when my lifes breath is gone, 
we'll be more then friends...
