Sleepless


When
The night
Won’t let you sleep
Does your heart
Flutter with rabbit’s beat
Your breath
Uneven and shallow?
Does your skin
Seep chill sour sweat
Your mind
Frozen in sour thought?

When
The night
Won’t let you sleep
Does your heart
Gallop with cheetah’s rush,
Your breath
Deep and filling?
Does your skin
Sweat with delighted scent
Your mind
Unleash with delicious visions?

  1. The shallow breaths you hear are echos of the struggle to live in the moment
    My heart chases the quick flowing thoughts that steal into my soul
    I am forced to concider the darkess blanketing the perfect love we are growing.
    So I get lost in the fight to find a solution

    The deep breaths are me connecting with you
    I drink the air we share with the knowledge that the pain is temporary
    That our love is solid
    That your heart is mine
    And that our pleasure is the fruit of selflessness.
