Bed of Roses

Bed of Roses

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


Bed of Roses

 

 

fell off sleep

and landed on awake

realistic alarm sounded

idealistic finger hit the off button

 

went back to sleep.

You remember that old saying "If you make that bed you may have to lie in it?" it's when the dream world spills into reality that it starts getting sticky :D

I disabled the realistic alarm long ago. Idealistic felt better. It’s good to sleep and dream.

That's cool. When you get the chance, I'd like to have your input.
It's no bed of roses when you wake suddenly from dreamland, realise it's a false start and then try and go back to sleep. That rarely happens for me. Once awake, I'm likely to stay awake.

Your title gave me some beautiful imagery of white sheets and bliss, red rose petals and sweet scent.

Here I am again, sleep disturbed :))
