Sleep's Curse Poem by Zachary Clougher

Sleep’s Curse

The curse of sleep that lies within,
May only be known by two therein.
In sharing one heart,
They create the part…
The curse of sleep that lies within.

The curse is thus so one can poll,
When one is half of another one’s whole.
It goes like this, in both it works.
There’s no escape from this one’s jerks.

When one is gone and the other’s there,
They both can’t sleep for no one’s near.
Each one will worry, and each one will fret.
Gaining no rest you can very well bet.

Reflect the curse with each together.
Neither one sleeps beneath the feather.

One seeks comfort the other to protect.
In this the curse laid bare and seen,
Sleep they shall never glean.
