Two In The Morning Poem by Reshma Ramesh

Two In The Morning

Rating: 5.0


sleep evades me
like the rain
evades the desert

silence creeps
through the night
wide open eyes

my breathing and
the voices in my head
is all i can hear

they are calling
gesticulating, cant help
but follow them where they lead

they scale up
into my neurons
squelch any sign of dissent

they knock knock
knock on the sentient
and question their volition

they ask not
of dreams, of triumphs,
ask not of love and resent

they think in vain
tell stories of bane
diabolic and uncompassionate

they elicit tears
inexcusably educe fears
make the night eternal

benighted, cannot battle
these thoughts that
seize my complete being

angry Morpheus
aren't you charmed with
my gentle smile and gracious eyes

all i do is
lie in wait for
the morning light to seep through


they deliver me
from the dark shadows
bringing with them sweet slumber

finally i sleep
with salty wet cheeks
when the dawn and moon speaks.

You are not alone, words are overcrowded and must slip out to give their two cents worth, regardless of the time.

I am definitely adding that to my favorites the one thing I noticed when I wrote Dark Shadows rising I honestly felt nothing 4 it it was a class assignment but when people read it they tend to fall in love and I never understood why but reading this and seeing the familiarity of it I understand. wow that was a great write and remember. Spread Yourself! ! ! !
