Playing with the dragon within

I know the consequences,
  and I realize I will feel the fire,
   but sometimes you can't resist.


I won't sleep tonight,
  tossing in my bed,
   while my mind is on fire.

Simple words unable to contain the feelings.

Only give a glimmer of what I want to share.

This makes me think of insomnia and poetry. That's what I do, anyway. A lot better than counting sheep.

I sometimes wake at about three, and a write helps me go back to sleep.

You too? between 2 and 3 am, write and go back to sleep.

[Jon Roggie]

Almost every night, two to three, and my brothers do the same. Often wonder what is going to happen in those hours.

Woo a bit stirring before bedtime....could take this one many places.

Trying to decide which old story to put a spin on. Maybe go back to Aristotle.

Philosophizing mood eh?

[Jon Roggie]

Yeah, but I don't think I have the energy for his stuff. Maybe a bit of Siddhartha.
