    for all
    again

    no sleep appears to me
    my eyeids peel back ,awake.
    body tired,man and children dream.
    dark skies bellow,winds here.
    cold replys from silver rays,our moon
    does shine to tell all, speak softely
    now, no stars will fall upon the
    days reality.not yet,for me.

    i have rolled some comfort,relaxed my
    brain,thinking started ,moan oh STOP.
    but coffee warms,my left palm as i sip
    awakened ,something.winds' raw sounds.
    a suns' memory wavers away,from me.
    now,light the candle,shine for more.
    no sleep appears yet ,to catch
    this body whole,why mind conflicts
    the hearts' own beats of needed rest,
    pulsing fast within these vains.

    so write i do,it forces more,see
    long intentions for covers,now
    unexplored,rippling tongues,
    fingers maybe thumbs,again upon
    this keyboard....
    i will sleep sound ,i will then wake
    another day to face....
    but not to fear.........

    thank you for your time

    love npeace n life nlight
    from saff
    sometimes i see the ripe
    moon,cry.it
    only longs.to kiss its
    love the sun..........

    it seems like your words are chosen carefully but there are too many commas splitting things up!!
    good work nonetheless

    BEAUTIFUL poem. best I have read on here as of yet. I really liked the line; I have rolled some comfort... so simple and true, but so perfect. couldn't be said better.

    for all on this night...


    i can not sleep, again..
    the tide of night,will
    not refrain,this body aches.
    and so my mind is twisting
    in thoughts.
    complete this day.
    have hold of sleep, hold
    hands in dreams again.
    what tingles here,an
    empty glance so sudden
    eyes to close......

    thank you
    lovenpeace to all

    from saff

    many nights ,i cast my eyes to letters
    words rise upon my screen
    in mind they flash ,sometimes to fast
    others so slow i can write to all
    as time ticks, on our ageing door
    who answers will only see that our lifes
    as full as the cup we bare.

    dont tease this thread,
    like a missing lover,who
    you longed for upon the bed
    where once you played..
    yet a path of which you
    may have stepped upon ,
    a choice gone wrong.
    will heal,to comprehend
    what life can be.
    be whole



    from saff

    ...sounding way too much like me saff... I guess there will be time enough to make up for alla the lost sleep when I'm dead, plenty a time then....

    ..to sleep, perchance to dream....W.S.
