Insomnia is  nothing
Of good gain a silent  strain
Sleeplessness chronic the pain
A problem,  one solution 
Sleeplessness resolution...

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....

Everything from the sleeplessness of the the speechless nights, to the uselessness of the clueless days
and in between Meloncoly of serenity; 
Sincerely, Solemnly, nothing but vanity...

The touch of 
sleeplessness arrives,
its just my restless,
wondering mind
making fun with me.
Its so silent,
all sounds seem
amplified
and loneliness is 
poking at me
thru the darkness
of the night....

Whether it insomnia,
often I cannot sleep !
When it happens
sometimes I am afraid of sleep
thinking it like dead
for some hours.
Yet as I suffer 
I spoke in my mind,
be it like dead
let me sleep
for sleeplessness so torturous....

Fever, Pain, Uncertainty....Sleeplessness....Unresolved Anger....
Another Fun Night

Ceiling tiles etched into memory
Another Fun Night

Waiting for my Alien Brothers,
To pick me up,
Another Fun Night

Fun, fun, fun....
Another Fun Night...

Lipstick stained, empty Jug
Her flock, her friends dispersed
This attitude, could not care less
A pretend she'd well rehearsed
Into the dark, blind advance 
Unto a sticky end
Hemming seams of sleeplessness
Where true love ne'er crept, my friend...

Lulled into Sleep



caught in a night of

unending sleeplessness



and with thoughts of unforgiveness,

surely causing no peace to truly come...



but God is gracious to send His mercy

in the form of sweet lulling angels

Life gets faster every day,
No time to think, no time to play.
Hurry, chaos, lots of stress,
Tension leads to sleeplessness.

When will all this madness cease?
Where is free time? Where is peace?
I'm running, doing, till I drop.
Give me buttons: Pause, Mute, STOP!...

Alas my life is like a bed of thorn
If I had a choice I would not be born

Oh my love is like a bad heartache
It reminds me always what I lack

Oh my eyes are like thirsty sand
No one gives me her tender hand

Oh my nights are full of sleeplessness
Cause my everything is in a mess...

I ncredibly tired, can't close my eyes.
N eeds to count sheep, or bottles of beer.
S lave to the grind of sleeplessness. 
O utstretched and uncomfortable.
M aking myself crazy counting backwards and forward.
N eed some "Sleepy Time" tea!!!!
I may never sleep again.
A lways grumpy the next day....

sleeplessness appears

to increase stress
short-term, chronic
inflame the worsening

overstimulation in mindfulness
or
laughter
the emotional factor

wound healing
optimists

selves as our
physical
bodies rigorous in trial
contrast principles  but seeking
circulation
impairs the wise choice...

Love is a mess
Sleeplessness is a friend 
Food tasting like regret 
Continued to suffer from distress 

Angered by my decisions
Listened not to my intuition 
Bitter to the past
Still stuck in situations 

Darkness plans to leave
The heart beats recklessly 
The mind is softening
Now that I see thee...

-lost and can not find 
something too far out of reach 
just need a little 

migraine pains they creep
 black dog images appear 
dry eyes blurred vision 

no motivation
tossing turning twisted sheets 
two dogs that can sleep

 if only I could
 for now I will close my eyes 
 pretending to sleep

This night that helplessly run
On the palm of sleeplessness and boredom
By your presence came to an halt
An angel you are, may I say
Or by me you be called, 
The dulcet tune of passion's flute
For in the open field of your words
I find mellow breeze that blows me into another world
Serene, pleasant, undeniably from Elysium fields....

Night brings misery…
                             adrift in midnight scowl
                       I strike a match,     blinking light
                           With lanterns glowing soul
                     Release to shadows,     my darkness

phantoms perform comedies 
the moon and stars display lights ---
bluish-white night sky 

owls play wry witches
black cats and bats bring crisis ---
glow worms scripts in catharsis

winds and weather rebelling
dark clouds tale-bearing
the night sways in sleeplessness

How many words at night just like 
bees in a hive buzz in my head!
“No pulse.. failed the brain test.. apneic,
pronounced dead”, somebody said.

Oh, life and death, you look so much
alike and equal that I seem
to do not care who grants me such
a long-awaited dreamless dream.

A short sleep of the dead and then
it will repeat itself: a bee,
another one, a pad, a pen,
a night, a sleeplessness, a me....

Sometimes the wholeness of the universe
Comes along like a black widow spider
On a thin thread and stops in front of one’s face

From fear and dread
All time stops
As the eight-legged spider
With eighty-eight eyes stare directly

Consumed with death and obituaries
Sleeplessness nights and tragic endings
The black widow spider a symbol of eternity and 
life cycles like the center of the universe pauses...

At three in the morning, I lie
awake staring out my window. 

Hundreds of fireflies illuminate
the sapphire darkness of night.

Tiny blinking beacons, they 
guide my thoughts outward,

away from the turbulence of
sleeplessness.

I marvel at God's ingenuity
and picture Edison (inspired

by nature) perfecting the first
practical light bulb.

Having not the inner workings
of genius, I drift off to sleep....

As i retired home from hunting
I stood before my shrine,
Forgive me for murdering nature
It was the gun that killed not me
I toil in tears just for my love, at least the bush meat will win her heart...
Hunting has being my grandpa's cult
Tonight, sleeplessness capsize my dreams
I split its blood as tears dropped from its eyes
Saying, 'merci, merci'
But the greed in my hands squash its plead
It was the innocent Gazelle

I cannot sleep
I can't find dreams
Though tired as my body seems
My mind adrift
Thoughts everywhere
I wish I could fly away up there
Let go of the future
Forget the past
Because none of this is made to last
But my brain won't stop
It won't slow down
In pointless thoughts I continually drown
So here I am
Writing away
Trying to pass the time of day
Until into sleep
I finally fall
Hopefully dream of nothing at all....

I am Depression.

Despair,negativity,trauma,
give birth to me in the mind.
Race of thoughts create chaos
in the mind.Insecurity rushes
the feelings.Mind runs helter skelter.
Anxiety forcibly pops in my
stark dark cave.Sleeplessness,
restlessness,weakness is all I breed.
Fear in me tricks.
I am invisible,more felt than seen.

Stewards of time,
Hear me well:
The old year is gone
And I cannot tell
What depth, or height
Or farthest breadth
Of earth's dimension
I can find it again

O let it go
And with it too
The sighs and tears
And sleeplessness
That measured our frustrations
The pounding heart,
The sweating hands,
Relent to hope
Must carve new joys
Out of this first fragment
Of time
Something to show
When the decade ends
As just returns
On talents spent....
