Insomnia I feel as I lay down and toss and turn

turn on the t.v., turn on the light...that doesn't work. So I shut the blinds and shadow the room  to darkness, and turn on some music. I start my conquest of sleeping as fantasizing you are next to me, imagining your soft, expressive touch    and as I draw my lips to yours, I'm comfortably sound asleep.

"You're here" I said with amazement and a feeling of security. You say "of course dear" and we lay there silently gently touching eachother as if we seldom get the chance. Darkness completes your face, and you slowly fade away. I look up and see the time...wishing that moment could have lasted forever.

I felt so complete, and sure  and at that moment felt as though nothing else mattered.

I open my eyes, reality sets in. I begin shivering, infested with anxiety as my stomach twists and turns from inside out, and I open the blind one last time, and look up as the night descends, and as I look up at the first star I see, all I could do was wish you could make my completeness in my dreams a reality.
