A Thief Called Sleep


Last night I lay, eyes closed,
About to go to bed
When the meaning of our dismal lives
Took form in my head

And for those fine few moments
I felt at peace and I said
“I must tell the world these thoughts”
But fell to sleep instead.

And in those moments sleeping
My memory misplaced,
The single greatest string of words
That knew all time and space

Robbed of this,
By a thief called sleep.
Never know what I’ll miss
The night it took my thoughts for keeps

What lies behind us and
what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Eyes

There he sits the silent one,
Eyes burnt red, with tears to come

He was eye, just eyes

Never thought there’d be this sight
Him sitting there, no words or spite

Just taking in the fact god took
His little girl, his whole world shook

To the little moments, he’d hold on tight
But short notice made his memory fight

No reasons left, no words to say
While in front of him, his baby lay

Gone. 16 years of eternal love
Cut short, no justice, no god above

There he lies, the silent one
Eyes closed shut, his fears undone

Once eyes, just eyes

A Typical Conversation

You ask me why I’m sad

I say I’m not

“Then why are you wearing that puppy face,” you retort

I say I didn’t mean to

You nod your head and smile

I flash one back

You look away and continue your conversation with her

If you only knew…

Don’t be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Be not simply good; be good for something. Thoreau

If you got to know me, I think you’d love me.

Maybe I’ll start up again??
