Sleeplessness Poems - Poems about Sleeplessness

Classes started up again today. Soon, we’ll be gloriously stressed, and clocked-up on whatever. Our hearts will swell to the pre-med symphony - a frantic opus, composed in the key of no sleep. In seminars for rising pre-med seniors, (What's needed to get that med-school slot!), it’s obvious that 60% of the students who started out...

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...

Chaos and order; I reside where the strings do not dare wrap around me. I am the thing that shelters comfortably under your carpet, whilst I wink at the fairy living underneath your pillow. I am the atrocity that delves into its own existence and allows for question. Consume thy enemy, prolapse the expansion of the hereditary...

Once haunted with sleeplessness-caused angst gripped by guilt midst tormenting iniquities… my soul lost its vibrancy in communing with God Now, by His pardon of loving forgiveness --- I’m restored, enjoying serenity of night’s rest. When attacked by sleeplessness-inflicted sorrow marked by surmounting unbelief due to life’s enigmas … my heart seeks the Saviour Who assures me His presence despite uncertainty of the...

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.

Through the elements of fear in faith you become vulnerable to conversing legends. The reclining god was stolen from the temple for a weeping skull. Red clover will interrogate the blurred sky for domestic violence of dark themes. Ashes in a terracotta urn were not involved of a body disrobed. A prosaic flight of birds was circling around a humpback sleeping on a lone...
