Thoughts don't let me sleep

My thoughts don’t let me sleep

On the bed I crawl and creep,

Trying to escape

But my thoughts run deep.

 

A transparent sheet of pain

That hugged my heart light,

Was adequate for peace to drain

And gift me a restless night.

 

I open my eyes, and then close

I curse the powerless me

Over my mind,

Not the life I chose.

 

Like a cardinal-red chenille of the velvet dress,

Like a drop from the agitated river,

Like a carnation-pink kite in the clear sky,

My thoughts are infamous vagabonds.

 

Now the cyber-yellow sun leaps over my eyes

And I realize,

The night was like a light year,

Yet my tired cilia needed more

When thoughts were about to depart from the shore.

 

What the lousy life gave me,

Snaffled the brave me,

Never was cracked a deal on sleep,

And my thoughts still run deep.
