Burden of Sleep

Contributed by Capian on Wednesday, 24th February 2010 @ 11:03:02 PM in AEST
Topic: abstract

Im growing tired of lying awake every night
There's nothing on my mind and yet it doesn't stop
It moulds over every second of my day
Retracing steps as I lay silently in the moons light

I hear the wind whisping through my half open door
Gently beckoning me to sleep and to dream
"now is your time to play, no sleep on this fine night"
The devil on my left shoulder shrieks out the call

Jolting from my bed I feel like I'm possessed
Footprints following Fingerprints as I brush down the hall
My mind is blank but filled with the will to seek and find
I pray the prize it seeks is found in the state of rest

The ground rises fast as I meet it with a crash
My feet have lost the will to carry me; me, my burden
The light seems to be sucked from these drowsy eyes
The moon grows darker; I fade as I thrash.

It seems like hours before the silence is broken
Gentle boy, youll only get further tangled-
dont fight your dreams, this is what youre here for.
Then an alarm sounded screaming the test has woken.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
