Why am I even up
At this early time
And what makes it worse
Is I'm writing it in rhyme!
Stayed up pretty late
Flirtation with the night
Bypassed Rich and Wolfie
On my journey to the light
Lay upon my bed
This part makes me weep
Although I'm really tired
I just don't seem to sleep
Why can't I just drift
Gently in a dream
Of lilting, lustful memories
Of babbling brooks or streams
Why is it always early morn
Imagination's fired
To face the dawn of each new day
Matchsticks are required
I don't mind, I don't need sleep
I just need to write
Thru heavy eyes and tired sighs
I'll let my words take flight

Okay. Here's another blind write. No brain at work. Or thought behind. It's too late to think. At twenty to three. I'm half asleep. And I can barely see. Oh well. It's all okay. Today's little rhyme.

Sleep
In that one moment sleep can take me. Willingly into its arms. Let me dream about winning. And a life without any harm. But once I set my head to rest. On a pillow I find the best.

You have Opussitus I am afraid. It's a common complaint and the only cure is amputation of the fingers! 😷😼
A true writers world seems to always have insomnia as a part of it, just like writers block. Lol. 👍😄🐶
I have no trouble dropping off but then I wake in the middle of the night all inspirationalised and have to get up and make notes or sometimes a whole poem is composed almost on autopilot....here's a huggie to help you get a little nap💪💪
