InsomniaA Poem by Al R. ArceNeed I say anything else?
I'm wide awake, when I should be asleep.
The TV is on with nothing to see. Got my tablet on, but I don't want to read. Got my dogs, they just want to sleep. My wife? She is on her own dreams... The midnight snack has been taken... With Hypnos I can't make my peace. No gaming, no surfing, I'm just awake I keep watching all around me Hoping I see something like me With nothing else to do but to fall asleep. Too late for a pill, too late to save the night. Bored to death, but not enough to sleep. Tomorrow's plans all doomed to fail Only a poem with no reason to be No muse, no message to read No beauty, no cadence Just words begging for an end I just want to fall asleep! © 2013 Al R.
