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...

The moon, a silent voyeur in the pane, Watches my stillness yet I writhe in vain. A paradox unfolds, a weary plight, Engaged in slumber yet devoid of night. My body lies, a landscape soft and deep, Where breath still stirs and secrets softly sleep. But in the skull, a restless buzzing hive, Where thoughts like frantic insects stay alive. I chase the...

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...

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...

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....

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; it...

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...

Silver fox howls at the moon Looking at me across the room Every note sounds of doom Even when awake feeling gloom Praying for a hero to come Lift me up towards the sun Elevate my life and soul Save me from the vampire’s choke Sleep is not a good idea Now my dreams will be cursed with fear I have to find another...

(Perhaps the desire to find Nirvana has become tainted? A worm of a man has done this to me; has burrowed into the fruit of my dreams.) We who wield the mighty sword leaded and sharpened neat and straight search vainly for hearty tales where Eros or God has placed a hand and turned the wilderness we have made back...
