Half Asleep

Half Asleep

Drifting in and out, half asleep but still awake.

The thought of you and me is causing an earthquake.

I never wanted something to be more real

I want it so bad that I’m scared of how I feel

This thing we have is an improbable romance

But it doesn’t stop me from wanting to take the chance

I’ve been told to ask if the juice is worth the squeeze.

Well I hope you see that I believe this is more than a simple sneeze

If shooting stars are what we have between the two of us

Then let’s ride the tail of the longest one while we lust

Maybe near the end when it seems to be fading away

Things will start to change like night to day

Gambling is a weakness of hoping on things we can’t control

I’m going to place a bet on you and wager my soul

I want to win this one bad cuz my life is at stake

I’m reaching out into a hole I can’t see in

I’m standing on faith so I’m not caught by sin

I’m all out of options waiting on life to cast its shadow

I have a lump in my throat I can’t seem to swallow

You see that I’m scared and you hesitate

Then you grabbed my hand and said yes to a date.

This was very good Clayton3. It rhymed nicely and had almost a musical flow about it. i am glad to see things are getting much better for you. keep this good work coming.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
