 Penciled Thoughts

Sleepless



In the wee small hours
Sleeplessness the rule.
Eyes burn from lack of it
The laughter is so cruel.

It's like this constantly
Loneliness settles in.
Don't know if I'm up or down
Awareness growing dim.

But I sit here frightened
Of nightmares creeping ‘round.
Lost the focus of my dreams
That lies dead on the ground.

Looking for resurrection  
My sleep becomes alive.
I cannot find a clue
To where that laughter hides.

Sleep is calling my name
But that, I cannot hear.
Closed my eyes sleep rushed in
To where there are nightmares.
