On an old seashore,

you are a monk in sacred clothes,

bowing slowly to forgotten

in the goodness of the night,

giving new life to your dreams

I am your Somnolence Queen,

and invite the sister moon

touch your eyelids, touch your light

drifting, drifting, drifting burdens

golden, golden, golden  stars

falling, fallin, falli, fall, fall, fa, f, ...

on your brrriiiggghhhttt sleeeping

forehead sleeeeeep, sleeeeeeping  deeeeeep,

I am your Somnolence Queen,

Eyes drooping as the battle
Against somnolence
Rages on
Like a bloodied
And battered swordsman
I stand and resist
I keep myself awake
Fighting an unceasing lull
From a tireless foe
Ever sly and persistent
Eager to drag me in a world
Of dreams and phantasms.

But as the night goes on
My resolve dissolves
Like melting chocolate
Under a merciless sun
Thus, I slowly drift
In a tranquilizing
Defeat.

As I close my eyes
I am no more.

My eyes are moving up and to the right
I've been awake all day and all night
Caffeine is the enemy, but it's my only friend
I'm hyper to the point which it cannot extend
My fingers in a frenzy, my wrists i cannot calm
I have a river rapid flowing from the sweat on my palm
My legs are always shaking, my attention span is short
I need my coffee strong by the cup, ***, or quart
The time is going swiftly, the day is setting in
Just the perfect time for me to begin
I drink my the morning coffee every ten past the hour
I have to redo all my plans- leave, get dressed, then shower
The sun setting slowly, the moon is rising fast
I wonder how long without sleep i can last
The trouble with insomnia is the length that it'll take
I'm not really sleeping, but I'm not really awake
