Last Night I Toss and Turn

could sleep
my mind was deep
thinking about you
it was passion too
i was hot to trot
my soul was love burning

I WAS TOSSING AND TURNING

My Heart

Can't sleep keep tossing and turning
Always thinking I'm living and learning
  I just can't figure out
  What is it about
My heart it won't stop yearning

I always have the stangest dreams when I am sick
It's not like I have the choice to pick
Tossing and turning
with my fever burning
I wake feeling like a pile of ick

Counting Missing Sheep

That night once again tossing and turning,
having very badly a sleepy yearning,
like little Bo Peep,
missing some sheep,
sheep hiding thinking its time for a shearing.

Two snakes


Night in the night
Darkness in darkness
We are in the pith.
Hunting each other is approved .
We suffer, two trapped snakes!
Tossing and turning in the core 
In search of love.

When I Turn Over

When I turn over
And you’re not there
I hate the thought of it
You and me
Separate tonight
I search for your scent
But I’ve washed it away
Tossing and turning
While looking for your hold

Far into twilight, restless
   Ceaseless tossing and turning
Anxious mind wandering, sleepless
            I am insomnia

Premium Member Finding Blessings

I rose early this morning
with many troubles on my mind
Instead of tossing and turning, I chose
to see how many blessings I could find
While searching for blessings,
it seems my troubles fell behind

B ecame uncomfortable when the sleep number slumbered,
E nding the comfortable cushion under my neck, back and tush.
D ecidedly, my pillow is also dead to me, with all its tossing and turning.

Premium Member Texture

The texture of those black out curtains,
a whistle that ruffles your hair.
Tickling all of your senses
with a shoulder massage. 
Tossing and turning 
rolling with the
cotton ghosts 
through the
night.

Sleepless and cursing the powers that be,
Tossing and turning in wee hours, me.
But what's the use in trying to fight it?
One might as well be trying to write it.
Mayhap morning Muses will oversee.

Tossing and Turning

tossing and turning
                                             the night seems endless and dark
                                                  light hides behind dreams

Premium Member Evil

Evil surrounds our everyday lives
Like a comforter on a hot summer night.
Smothering
Tossing and turning
Trying to decide
Debating and wondering
Uncomfortable
Until
Finally kicking free
Heaving a sigh of relief
The right choice is made.

Go Back To Sleep

Go back to sleep, sweetheart. 
Get rest, roll over, close your eyes and 
Be still, my love. 
Your tossing and turning
Your restless night wanderings
They disturb my dreams. 
Don't forget we share this same bed
Though thousands of miles apart.

Premium Member Sailing Home

Three in the morning and again I dream
of waves and windblown sails, driving us on.
A petulant ocean, its mood would seem 
somehow to echo mine, awaiting dawn.
Tossing and turning, creaking and groaning,
it’s an old man’s bones I hear, bemoaning.

The Time Has Arrived

The Time Has Arrived

The time has arrived
There’s nowhere to hide.
Tossing and Turning
Must tame the yearning.
Feet planted firmly in midair
Facing the horizon with a stare.
Desperate to stay
Yet, wanting to run away.

Premium Member Short Poem On Sleep

Short Poem On Sleep Miracle Man 2/17/2025 I’m only an acquaintance of peaceful sleep, nocturnal thoughts are awash throughout the night. Clock time for restfulness I no longer keep, I’m tossing and turning until morning light.

Trapped

The weeks pass on as I lie in bed
Too weak to even move my head
But here I lie trapped in my sorrow 
Not knowing the emotions that are of tomorrow 
Tossing and turning as I try to sleep
Alone as I lay there and weep
The days pass on and eventually weeks

Premium Member Restless Sleep

A restless night sleep
A restless night sleep
All the evening long
A restless night sleep

Tossing and turning
Tossing and turning
Sleep is hard to seek
Bess wakes up tired

She looks for a sale
For a new mattress
Going store to store
Until she finds it

Day and Night

The day is long
 the night short
filled with restless dreams
 crisscrossing imagery
 of fictional and unfamiliar parties
trying hard to encumber life
 by restrictive containments
 anxious in the tossing and turning,
fearful wakening
 only to find
 it is reality.

Sleepless Night

Could not sleep last night
So many thoughts entering my mind
Pushing them out to no avail
Locked in sleep limbo
Tossing and turning
Thought I listened
Thought I helped
Not sure
Maybe 
Understanding O.K.
Person hearing my words who knows
Lost one already
not again
