Sleepless nights

Sleepless nights

A Poem by prema

Sleepless nights lying in bed
thoughts jump one to another
at atomic speed
night's morbid silence speaks a ton
mature me, weighs prons and cons.

There's no access to fresh air
for there's no outside to counter inside
how to ventilate is my woe
time drags but never ceases
and sadly there's no wee willy winkie
to enquire my plight.

Another great poem, You captured the restless storm of sleepless nights with such precision that the reader can almost feel the silence of the room and the racing of the mind. The phrase “thoughts jump one to another at atomic speed” is especially brilliant—it perfectly conveys the chaos and intensity of a mind that refuses to rest. Love it.
That's extreme talent.
Nicely penned.
