Morpheus Poem by Stefanie Fontker

More tired than you know
I have never seen the moon
My eyes will forevermore
Remain forced wide open
For what else could I do
There is not a brain
In this empty head of mine
Only a piece of soft cloth
Absorbing almost everything
That it is able to touch
But evading almost anything
That could be named too solid
Unable to have a moment of rest
I am here eternally, forever
Always waiting, just waiting
For the sweet touch of sleep
And his shameless embrace
