And wipes his grey paws all over my eyes.
Insomnia dances around in my sheets,
And kicks the old dog till the showing of skies....

Anguish and exhaustion painted on her face
If I had it within my power
Her discomfort I would erase
As she gives birth to our son...

Embers from the sun,
Exhaustion wearing him down;
Intensity in his eyes,
Collapsed on the ground,
Relaxing in the cool wind;
Yellow mane flowing freely....

Dying from exhaustion, pain, anguish,
hype, anxiety, depression,
death and more

and there you see a corpse....

eyes barely keep open
I gardened all day
so exhaustion would set in
It worked too, but fast....
Do I have time to post my poems on a website?
I doubt that I have the capability.
My eyes are barely keeping open.

Float
in exhaustion
I dont care that I"m not sleeping
I'm happy for dark silence
lying still
no voices
no music
I don't care that theres no sleep yet
I'm too tired
to sleep
I need to float my thoughts...

The head of the table,
but nothing has changed
Consensus of endorsement,

Whose tracks have long faded
—regret in the wind

exhaustion
scratches at the back of my dry eyes
images of subconscious float into reality
confusing conversation
my skin is hypersensitive
brain aches with overuse
even music hurts

a soft cool pillow

Bubble of Illusion
Bubble
of illusion
is whatever we see
in the manifest world around,
having arisen from our heart’s desire,
which upon exhaustion, recedes
in the void of silence,
there bursting the
bubble.
