These sleepless nights
Are only of my mind

Attracted

She was attracted
by a humble tortoise
the beautiful designs
made her sleepless
but hidden realities
she did not know

Yesterday lingers, 
still a not-yet-memory,
today waits to start. 
I’m sleepless at 3 a.m.,
adrift in the cracks of time.

Moonless Beach

holding what the twilight brings
sleepless nights, empty dreams
close my eyes, visions creep
passion ebbed, moonless beach

Premium Member resilience of inner strength

sleepless nights
brilliant stars fight 

poetic soul fortitude, forced into servitude

views fade away
quintessence gives way

Shadows

shadows drip from darkened walls
a cold, bright moon enhances all
many a sleepless night is caused
a love that waits at beck and call

right and wrong 
always strong

we stride to be right 
without any fright

when wrongs become rights
there'll be sleepless nights

Discord

Everything you said,
Was conjuring up the dead.
The countless sleepless nights; 
Scenes running through my head,
Haunted by the dead.

We Won'T So Just Don'T

We wont, so just dont.

Pain's approaching,
but never thought I could met.
Sleepless nights were just a font,
we wont, so just dont.

I ponder the world’s problems in the twilight of my sleepless hours
By morning my own troubles rise once again to reclaim their powers

Clouded sky in tears
Sorrowful sunrise
Midday monotony
Blues at sunset
Sleepless slumber
Midnight madness
Nightmare alley
Rude awakening

Sleepless Nights SK

She snores so loudly that the walls
are shaking as she calmly sleeps,
her husband's fingers in his ears,
'Another sleepless night,' he weeps.

Dawncall

The cock sounds its trumpet
inviting azuri maids to a duet
darkness slips away,
stealthily-silently 
provoking the anger 
of a sleepless sun.

Sleeplessness

A walking zomie
A fear at night
A loss of mind
A crazy life

A monged out mind
Afear at night
drives herself crazy
theses sleepless nights.

Lost inside various deep reflections
yesterdays are awakened
another sleepless night

The Best

Best is best work output,
Best is sleepless nights' output, 
Best is passion in action,
Best is honour for hardwork! 

BEST is best of the BEST.

First Time

First time 
sleepless nights 
deep feelings 
I'm on top of the world.
Again, first time
sleepless nights
shattered feelings 
I'm heart broken.

Catastrophic Dreams

sinister thoughts
total bizarre
alarming 
where to go ?
if the night's rude
dreams are all mean
sleepless nights, no peace.

Drencho POET Loads

Faith(Less)

Faith. I had it. Once.
Long ago. Now it's gone.
Lost in the sleepless nights.
The broken hearts.
The fractured dreams.
Will it return?
Who knows.

Threnody For Baghdad

Sleepless in my room,
The sound of constant thunder
And a ceaseless wind;
Even the stars are weeping
As vengeance consumes the sky.
