I really should be fast asleep

It’s funny, I’m not tired

The night has taken over me

The light of day, expired

 

There’s a spider crawling up my wall
He doesn’t notice me at all

Perhaps he’s uninspired
By the fact that I’m not tired

 

My brain is running on caffeine
It really should be in a dream

Is that truly what I desire?
Cause I’m really not that tired

 

I close my eyes and try to rest

Still, visions dance before me

Why do I even bother?

Now where’s that cup of coffee?

 

Sweet liquid gold is most required
Oh, did I mention I’m not tired?

Sleep, is a nightmare, come to rest

These hands upon my body, pressed

Have they come to haunt my being?

Or is this an illusion, I am seeing?

Still I sleep, and do not awake

But I can feel my body quake

And tremble, like the ground that shifts

Yet, no words are falling, from my lips

I continue, to lie here, to contemplate

Knowing, these nightmares, seal my fate

Sweet dreams, child, as you snuggle close

Let the moon above, guide your visions

Forget about the day, gone by now

There’s no need to make any decisions

Drift away, and find a fantasy, created

Just for you, in your own hidden place

Get lost among the twinkling stars

Watch the midnight sun, in outer space

Sweet dreams, my child, for now you rest

Serenely sleep, as the night slips by

Cocooned next to me, against my chest

As I drift off, too, all is right, by and by

When night falls, after a long hard day

And we no longer wish to schmooze

We find ourselves a real comfy spot

Lay our heads down and just snooze

3AM and the Rain

The sound of the rain against the window pane, like a constant knocking. Loved ones from above, trying to come in. Let me open the window…

I’m awake at this ungodly hour and it is raining. Usually it lulls me to sleep, but not tonight. Too much on my mind, so I will just lie here and listen. Join me, won’t you?
