Insomnia
A
perpetual lack of sleep
A
dream with eyes too wide open
Not
seeing the mythological nature of the mind
Hallucinations
of day to day life
Constantly
struggling with the void
The
soul stares through broken shards at the world
Dried
red lines cut through eyes
Trails
fall off of bodies in motion
Actions
see fast in moments of eternity
Moments
too fast are watched with slow anticipation
Clutching
hands so tight
Nails
cause wrists to bleed
A
self proclaimed martyr
Screaming
at demons of the night
Begging
for one small moment of release
The
search for remedies:
Siddahartha's
kiss of 'Ohm' upon the forehead
Knowledge
of life from viewing a river
Put
the mind at ease!
Stop
the endless chatter of the mind!
The
endless downpour of white pellets
Nightmares
rear their ugly face
To
frighten away the restless coma
Shutters
race through the body
As
terrified sweat drips away.
Howling
at the moon that doesn't want to be seen
Whispering
in an uncomfortable silence
Thoughts
coursing through a maze
Trapped
in a corner
Baring
teeth to the dark ceiling
My
body painfully vibrates, longing for serenity
The
very cells violently hum
The
silent rage begins
Loose
muscles tense to a rock hard substance
Cries
spew forth without a sound
A
minute lasts an eternity
But
moves more quickly to the end
To
hear the requiem's repeated tone
Announcing
the coming day
Another
unrestful night plaguing eyes, body, mind, and soul.
