Please, Don't Sleep

Inspirations

 

Don't sleep

 

Just, please, stay awake

 

Baby, don't sleep

I have so much to say

 

It's such a mess

All wires up in my brain

But, when I'm looking at you

it seems to all fade away

 

So, please, don't sleep

and we'll smoke cigarettes

as we watch the sun rise

Watch

-as the glow

Illuminates smokey skies

Don't you love

how the sun rises up

and then dies

Reminds me

 of the way you open

then close your eyes

And the way it tells me

that

you're still alive

 

Though still

 in some ways,

makes me want to die

 

Yet, some part of me

enjoys

living this way

When I look at your face and all

darkness fades

 

I'm stark still

in this moment

in which emptiness plays

on the beat of a drum

As your heart

fills the room

 I'm dancing in place,

just a motionless swoon

 As

I tread upon

-crystalline walls,

the light

on your flesh,

it crashes into my skull

 

And I'm gone-

 

Yeah, Darling, I'm gone

Your voice fills the air,

echoes

in the dark

I feel it in waves, yeah

I hear it

in sparks

And the lull of the sea,

splashing up on the shore

Swallows up all my thoughts,

I can't

see anymore

 

But you're there in the dark, in

a distance so great

That I'm falling in shards, 

I eternally break

 

Then it's gone...

Oh it's gone..

Reviews

[A.A.Romanczuk]

this is the ending fairytales forgot...you weave it with skill

[M.D Leon]

The flow of the piece is very good, it gives a feeling of intensity specially when it reaches its middle. Though some parts lost my attention it is by no means a problem this only reflects your ability. Now im definitely checking out the band

[Coyote Poetry]

Nice flow of desire and emotion. To be young and time being limited. The all-nighters are for the brave and energetic. I like the flow of this story. I like the realistic feel of the end. Thank you for the excellent poem.
