Sleepless Conversations Poem by Matthew Holloway

O endless mocking night
How cruel you have become to me
Left me alone amongst woken dreams
That I converse with all possibilities
To love and ambition each question
My journey and destination
The strength and will I held
Once in my now distant youth
Stands in contrast or memory
Perhaps even a muscle reaction
As though stating the soul
In time had remained unchanged
The eyes have seen, witnessed much
And the memory, how it remembers
The testing and the wanting
How wicked desire may be found
Now sleep refuses it's rest
And the daydreams play out
In conversations
Ending the silence of the night
