Those Night When Your Heart Rambles While Your Mind SleepsA Poem by John Dennis Gillespie
Everyday I wake up thinking I should sleep less.
I should dream more and I should read more. Everyday I go to sleep, I pray for temptation to float away and desperation to go away. I nod off to soft songs with no words and I put my own to the instrumental and free my mental from the prison society’s kept it in. I’m a new soul. Hopefully this change will be for the better, wisdom is all I seek and my love will receives these letters. She’s my princess and I told God to kill me if I let her go because all I want in life is my young love to grow old. Everyday I go to breathe, I hope my heart melts into her and she will heal the curse that I was given by way of birth. I question my existence being of any significance, so I daydream and stay awake. Long nights tell the story of a man more than long days because work into the dark takes courage to still remain. Temptation overcame takes brains and a mind state that’s willing to weigh their options and not let lust become a problem. I sunk myself into my quest for knowledge and my quest for smiling and my quest for overcoming and my quest for falling into love. I sunk myself into you and drowned in your affection. Your arms are my protection. Your love is my weapon. I fight for everything we are for my mind rages with thoughts and you tame them. © 2013 John Dennis Gillespie |
