Temporary Insomnia

I cannot sleep

My body aches

My muscles sore

Ready for sleep to whisk me into it's warm, enticing arms

And yet I lie awake

I cannot sleep

I watch 2am soap operas

And read pieces of novels

Filling up my brain with even more everlasting thoughts

So I lie awake

I cannot sleep

I stretch my legs

Fluff my pillow

The joints in my body crack like pop rocks

And I lie awake

I cannot sleep

Tummy full of tea

Covered in soft quilts

I listen to the sweet, smooth voices of piano notes

And I feel tired

And I try 

Once again

To sleep
