Again
I just lost
My sleep
To thoughts
Drenched in sweet
Underneath
My night pillow
Thoughts snatched
My sleep right under
My exhausted self
And braved the long road
To a land occupied by ideas
It was just a while ago
That I was under the spell
Of a heavenly tiredness
A drowsiness I embraced
And took myself to bed
Hoping to put my body
To a peaceful sleep, so deep
The heat wave would envy
Me, resting my body but…
Like a thieve
In darkness and night
My restless thoughts
Dragged the sleep
From underneath me
With so much purpose
That I ended up writing
This poem that is ending
