Approaching Dawn

A Poem by redzone

....can't sleep scribble

Approaching Dawn

As dawn nears the horizon
I realize I have yet to sleep.
The reality of dreams
and their complicating confusions,
has kept me awake.
Maybe later
I will relax
and close my eyes.

I'm not really sure
where I'm going with this,
for now, a jumble of words
splashed incoherently
on this page.
Black on white contusions.

Funny isn't it,
how paper never complains;
allowing inky shades
and these meandering words
to consume its empty spaces.
Words, sounding lost,
too structured,
while I am nothing but chaos.

The sun has just chased
the moon and the last few stars
with its yellow and blue sky glimpses.
Its warmth and promise
has given me the courage
to smile and shyly say,
"I wonder why my
waking and sleeping hours
are woven around you?
Why, when I know this is
more dream than reality?"

SPINNING ON that dizzy ..

I really like this work. You are telling us you are sleepy and dreamy and not quite sure in that search for sleep, in the wait for sleep what is maybe a dream or a wish to dream. To write, to scribble to keep a yellow pad and pencil next to the bed.... just in case an inspiring idea pops in a sleepy head... that seems to be awake with thoughts that .... maybe don't want to go to sleep and away from the thoughts that you can still control.... or maybe not .... I like the "black and white contusions as words are a powerful thing.

I adore that last stanza Curt....your inky messages here are hardly black on white contusions. There's always a glimpse into your heart and soul when I read your words, and it's a brilliant one at that....ha, better go shower, captcha knows all! ;) x

Romantically dreamy chasing the glimpses of love allowing inky shades on pages that never complain. Excellent...:).................
