I cannot sleep...No pleasant Dreams

I cannot sleep...No pleasant Dreams

I cannot not sleep no pleasant Dreams,
only to Dream of wonderful things.
I cannot sleep nor close my eyes,
No Dreams of sheeps or butterflies.

I lay in bed yet toss and Turn
Not a wink of sleep do I Earn
only Restlessness and a good nights sleep
so far away for which it seems,
I Yearn for and  NOT yet  have seen.

I close my eyes for which I beg,
restful sleep and pleasant dreams.
For this is impossible as it seems.
No Sleep for ME ?... What do you mean?

I close my eyes and try once more,
for a restful night and pleasant Dreams,
of sheeps and butterflies, and pleasant things
For this feeling of restlessness will not pass it seems.
If only I could close my eyes,  Dreams await me,
and lullabies, a restful night can be mine.
Just a few Hours of sleep would be FINE !!

sleep depravity can drive us mad (at least that's what I've read), and I haven't slept well in a number of years :D so if you want to keep your sanity badgebutterfly try Melatonin. p.s. thanks for the comments on "All a Twitter"

I know how this feels - I work nights, and sometimes I just cant sleep. It feels so uncomfortable. I can relate.

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
