Sleepless moonlit nights

Early to bed, early to rise,
makes you healthy, wealthy and wise.
Followed the age old saying,
Can't figure out why I am still awake on this moonlit night.

Under a moonlit starry sky spreading its silvery covers,
I might fall asleep instantly embedded in its soothing spell,
The train of thoughts going through my mind,
Might stop to appreciate the beauty

Sleepless

Sleepless

Dogs are howling.
Cats are yowling.
Stomach's growling.
Just want a nap.

Mowers mow.
Blowers blow.
Planes are low.
Please, a bit of kip.

A fly astir .
An AC's whirr.
Roaring roadster.
Just forty winks.

Telly's off.
Party's over.
Almost aslee...
Have to pee.

Just those kind of nights

Slept throughout the day,  
Feels like I’ve slept through my life.  
Wide awake I lay—  
It’s just that kind of night.

I've become a spectator of my own life,  
Not a wink, even though I’ve turned off the light.  
Switching postures, counting sheep,  
Tried every last bit—  
I guess

Sleepless

In the early morning  remnants of a watercolor moon fade slowly into the horizon
Did the night always end so soon
I feel the fire in me subside with the fading of his glow 
I'm left with blue
  The sudden coolness paints my room here in the sky
Casting  shadows around my eyes, my heart

If you've gone through separation, did sleep come easy or not?

Sated

But now separated
And unmated

I can no longer enter 
For I no longer sleep

You can let your gentle eyes rest tonight

I wont arrive in the morning light

Dont bother worring and  crying

You can let your gentle eyes rest 

Since you now dont have to see my face 

Corridors wont seem as crampted 

And nights wont seem as long nor sad

Everything will seem much better

Once you let your gentle

SLEEPLESS SAUDADES

Hours pass, days pass,
eternities travel...
Life sings the same
old song...
Music of our lives...

Happiness-little bird released
that we still want to catch with our hands...
without the same skills...

Beautiful times that now we only remember,
between whispers and faded sighs...!

Sleepless

I bought some supplements from the pharmacy. 
On the table, I lean against it. 
This is supposed to help with sleep. 
I was supposed to sleep. 
That first night. 
The whole night. 
Everything. 
Shut down. 

I bought the supplements. 
They are supposed to be “doctor recommended.”
I don’t know. 
What else there is. 

I take a

THOSE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

Let me tell a story
Of a human being
An individual 
Let me explore this story
Further I go
Into the depth of it
Fascinating it is,

Storms comes and goes 
But the bones stays the same
Amazing it is 
Weather changes unexpectedly 
But the foundation is concrete 
Incredible it is
Mesmerized,

Let me tell a story
Of a human being
An individual 
Let me explore

Sleepless

The clock chimes 3–
I lay sleepless in bed 
My body feels frozen-
I feel like i’m undead.
My thoughts run wild.
Like a horse in a race.
Im like a labyrinth-
Yet as fragile as a porcelain vase.
I try to sleep yet I open my eyes-
Here comes morning, the sunlight comes to rise.

Sleepless Sheep

Sheep Sam could not seek sleep that night
as storm sounds crashed and clashed; 
the thunder blasted booms while bright
bold beams of lightning lashed.

So sadly, Sam said, “We can't sleep-
the big booms bash so loud!”
But then, they heard a chirpy cheep-
a true tweet in their crowd!

“Oh yes”, said Sparrow Sue, “You know
this scary storm won't last;

Midnight

Mysterious, flaming
eyes so bright
they keep me awake
in the middle of the night 

Can’t ever sleep
Now what to do?
I want to know if
Your heart burns for me too

Waiting

I’m lying here
In my broken bed
That’s caving in 
Under my nothingness
Waiting (not patiently)
For my pregnant brain
To quiet down
Waiting for the
Swishing sound
Between my ears
 To finally cease
Waiting for your light snoring 
To begin, so that mine
Can take over
Waiting in my broken bed
That’s caving in
Under my nothingness
But I’m not alone
You are there
On your side 
Of the caved
