i microdose sleep
like a pro
little sips
just the tip

i’d tell you about
the dreams
if they’d ever
visit me

but i wake more
than i slumber
the night
a black hole
of mystery

all the pennies
i threw in the trash
over the years

maybe if i’d
saved them up
i could afford
to enter the
contest

& win the
gold ribbon
on this quest
for just a little
r e s t

Lead me away from this unfair realm
Beyond my stormy days and dark skies
Kiss me hard
Embrace me tight
Take me to the gracious place  where I found your heart

Sweetheart I'll keep safe and
Warm and protect you from the storm
And I'll truly love and respect you and
I hope our hearts will beat forever
Because Sweetheart
I'll never find another women who's
Truly as Beautiful as you.

Maybe the fact that I am a human,
that this very moment could be my last
makes living more beautiful.

Maybe my eyes are a cursed palace,
where dreams might never arrive
