Question: This poem needs something!. Maybe an OTC medication!?
*****
sleep sleep
me and sleep
we don’t speak
we agree to not believe

dream dream
seamless schemes
planted seeds
for me to bleed

wake wake
eye’s mistake
close the drapes
groping at the formless shapes

This is awesome T!.D!. as it feels when we try to sleep and a million things are popping off in our brain and soon i would see dots and flashes as my body and especially my mind is pleading let me sleep Now lol You described it perfectly!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A premise quite amiss,
No OTC for this!
It calls for some Butalbital --
Or maybe, dammit, dash it all,
A kiss of dear Prince Valium
Will make thee dream of kingdom come!.
No time for proffered innocence,
If thou desire'st somnambulance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Scratch, scratch
itch and burn
I should have kept my trousers on
Along with her my sleep is gone

Cough, cough
now it's always soft
Instead of speaking on
I must wax off!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's three o'clock in the morning
no dance, but all night long
sleep and I negotiate
and always, like war and hate
the battle goes on and on!.

Some battles will never be won!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I absolutely relate to this poem!. You have the last stanza to a T -- do you watch me sleep and then blunder around when it's light!?

Excellent poem!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Tyler used to say "Sleep is overrated!."
