Sleepless In Love

Sleepless nights

A night of sleep

is short, but not abnormal,

as my mind starts to race,

with a body still seeking sleep.

Darkness is around

as the walls,

the ceiling and all,

their nothingness not inviting.

In one more effort

to find the comfort

and peace that I seek,

for a few more minutes of sleep.

Then in the bed,

just heat of her body,

brings some peace.

Then a touch of my hand.

Knowing she's near,

tranquility descends

on my mind

as I find peace, I find sleep.

The comfort that comes from just the proximity of the one that your heart loves. The connection is always open until for some reason one or the other in a true relationship breaks 'the rule of two'! A 'Love relationship' cannot exist where only one party is in love.
But, your poem speaks of a love of comfort in bloom and I will not worry about you!

[Willard Wells]

If the feelings of love were not shared the feelings of closeness and warmth would not be there. Only in true love shared, can we have the comfortable feelings of our other, always, being there.

Thank you for stopping in and reviewing my words. Greatly appreciated.

[McBear]

I love the thoughtfulness of this. I'm so glad i found your poetry on here. You write in a way i can feel.

[Willard Wells]

I am so happy you enjoy my work. It does not always follow rules, but to me all words have been written or spoken and all we can do is phrase them differently and maybe reach someone with an emotion. A smile and laughter. Thank you for your time in viewing and commenting on my work.

[Cherry]

You are so welcome.

How warmth, can comfort one's mind from a loved one like a security blanket to wrap around you inducing a nice sleep

[Willard Wells]

Very well put Andrew. Thank you for stopping in and commenting.

My insomniac mind can relate to this one easily.... write from the start this poem gathers a wonderful flow... thanks for sharing Sir...

[Willard Wells]

I think many of the writers have sleep issues and drives us to write and strange hours and for some it leads to depression which is their dark place to write from. I am glad you enjoyed my work and thank you again for venturing to my works.

[CA Anurag Sharma]

You are welcome Sir :)

Willard...it is so touching to read your love for her is your antidote :) This is beautiful...

[Willard Wells]

And she was laying next to me with her head on my shoulder as I read your words and she said, "all have sweet talk" as she calls it. Cultural thing I guess. Thank you for taking a moment of your time to read my words and comment.

[Kristine Stewart]

Beautiful! if you could bottle peace and put it in a flask called sleep....

[Willard Wells]

With those with sleep issues, it would sell out in minutes. Thanks for the kind words and visit.
