Sleep
I know i need sleep
That precious slumber
Its leaving me
Hour by hour
Minute by minute
Awake at my favorite part of the day
The night
The darkness so entrancing
The little light offering comfort
The whole blackness making a place
Of rest
They tell me to sleep
But i must not
Im haunted by dreams
Dreams of death
Dreams of lust
Im being tortured
An everlasting affair
Never ending
When i sleep i dream
When i dream i wake
The cycle continues
When i dream
My wishes are answered
Twisted and
Distorted
But nevertheless
The wishes are there
I wish upon that blue star
Knowing that it is not there
Hoping for sleep to come
But not wanting to sleep
Even though they tell me to
No, i cannot
I wish for sleep
That dark,dreamless sleep
I wish for love
I wish for the right one
I wish for so many things
But all i wish now
Is sleep
Sleep please come
And take me away from here
This waking nightmare
But my dreams are nightmares also
My dark,dreamless sleep
I need you
Sleep:
i enjoyed your poem very much: it describes the cycle and cause of sleeplessness very well. I wish you nights of good slumber, without the nightmares. Good read.
