Sleep

Echoes do resonate crystal clear
A shadowy vestige of what was near
Ever to exist from within the deep
Of endless memories while in sleep

Please! Oh please! I rant and cry
For ever a chance to rest and try
To halt this movement and learn to be
In a quiet still place, eternity

Slumberous sleep is all I desire
A place in which I can finally retire
Emberous love and peace, so tranquil
Oh! The essence of falling, a thrill

Merging deep within the unconscious
Mindlessness is indeed my true bliss
Past senses from life do reappear
But only much better for fear isn’t here.

Deep asleep.

Adoration Lost

She looked at me. And I digress.
I could not repay her glowing chest,
where her heart was full of adoring love,
and longed to embrace me, come push or shove.
Here I stood, looking down.
I faked a smile to hide my frown.
She loved me so, but she could not see
How I felt about her and how I felt about me.
I was lost and longing for self-admiration
To share myself caused subtle indignation.
The day was long and night was bleak
A hard night it was to soundly sleep.
But in bed I laid next to her
Regardless of my heart’s stir.
My mind was attached to this loving force
But my heart was failing in remorse.
Why couldn’t I acknowledge and come to terms
With the pain and depression that caused me to churn.
But life is hard to change and see
What is right and what is me.
In appeasing those whom I adore
I’ve cursed my life to be a bore.
Sooner or later, I will need to begin
That true self who is hiding within.

I speak in terms of her, not he
For she is me, who used to be.
When my love was new and bright
I looked towards him and followed his light.
And now I am he, for I face myself
Who used to feel towards my lover, not self.
But now I am my greatest foe,
For myself I no longer know.
