fe1d6a29efe7eb2fda4d7d081c5944d4The chastising tut

of the petulant clock

as I’m waiting

for morning to come

 

I stifle a yawn

in the hours before dawn

as I’m waiting

for morning to come

 

My pillow concrete

as my dreams beat retreat

and I’m waiting

for morning to come

 

Inky, stifling, air

at the ceiling I stare

and I’m waiting

for morning to come

 

I long for the sun

and this night to be done

as I’m waiting

for morning to come

Hades.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Slowly, slowly, creeps the dawn,

with monstrous shapes,

and shifting form,

‘tween death and sleep,

my soul doeth lie,

this never world,

where hope does die.

 

Alas my sense,

it leaves me cold,

splintered spine,

as I’ve grown old

and weary of

this mortal world,

a waiting hell,

backdrop

unfurled.

 

The antidote

to death

is sleep –

where

Daemons

sneer, and

angels

weep.

Sleep is not happening

sleep will not come

my heart it is pounding

and my mind is undone.

The thoughts they are taunting

with memories flirting

the darkness is daunting

as my soul is hurting.

Sleep is not happening

sleep will not come.

Oh tortuous night

how thou hast

defeated me.

Whilst Angels sleep

against a weeping moon

the painful pull

of sleeps flirtations.

Does thou bring soon

comfort and release

from dark hells hounds

with murderous intent.

Oh tortuous night

now thou hast

defeated me.
