Insomnia (The Night After...) Poem by Alice Cuenca

Insomnia (The Night After...)

Rating: 5.0


Colors of darkness crumble
heavy eyelids
in constant struggle...
grain of light peeks through the horizon
touching the meadows
a new day has begun
conforming...
to the monotony of daily living
my filled heart cave-in
heavy with emptiness
this space...
besieged between stilly moments
'me' at the center...
with frozen colors
thawed beneath the sun
drifting in liquified hues
as the twilight verge on,
I am consumed again by the night

Wonderfully written poem. Your choice of words is exquisite…with frozen colors / thawed beneath the sun / drifting in liquefied hues…I simply love these lines in particular.
