I only conjure sweet words
When the world is
Hushed and indistinct
I ponder if I am a creature of the night

But I am simply restless
And these words are mere distractions
From all of the pain I'm feeling
Another wall I've painted eloquently

To convince myself
This isolated, sunless world
Is more enchanting
Than anything reality
Could ever grant me.
A poem I wrote at 3 am.
O' Besabar tujhko kya khabar
O' Besabar tujhko kya khabar
Hua Jo mere dil pe asar
Jab lagi Teri wo kaatil nazar

Restless hearts in timeless rhythms
Intimate emotions trapped in prisims
Takes flight to rainbow in horizon
Unchains hearts in passionate union

Closed my eyes to one nightmare
and opened them to another.
Tossed and turned, wet my pillow
Trying to wake from that terror
Morning came.
Closed my eyes to one nightmare
and opened them to another.
Tosses, turns, tears...
no good.
A nightmare that can’t be woken from,
only slept into another.

But now i welcome it
As a long lost friend
Though its embrace is
Secure and comforting
My fears create restless thoughts
And stirs among the corners of my head
Pain, sorrow, sadness and regret
How long must it take for one to forget?
Kris Fireheart Jan 2020
It's another one of those sleepless nights...
All alone here in my darkness.
The blanket stops above my heart,
But I still can't close my eyes...

There are no more dreams to covet inside,  
No visions of wonder or gore.
That time has passed, so long ago,
And now I can't "see" anymore.

And so here I lie in my bed, wide awake.
Wondering why, and counting mistakes,
And silently hoping that somehow,
One day,

Somebody will hold me,
And ease all this pain...
I hate being alone... ever since I lost my fiancé, I still have Yet to find love again... but I can dream. I can hope...

I can't sleep



  most nights.



Restless,



   rigid,



   breathless fights





Laying in an



  anxious cocoon.



Overriding,



  callous,



    darkening moon.



droopiness,



  my eyes beg.



staggering,



  struggling,



    longing legs.





​​​​​​Missing the

warm

  bedtime

         nights.



endless,

  

  harrowing,



      sleepless fights.
Cold have been my dreams of late,
Petty reflection upon my cruel fate,
Sleepless, brutal, unyielding rest it became,
Wicked Sand Man, my dreams he cannot tame,

Loss of home,
Friendless, alone,
To be cradled I beg upon a concrete sky,
Hear my convictions I cry,

With familiar despair I plea to the night,
Hear it as a prayer forthright,

Partless promises, painfully I ponder...

I but cold, petty, sleepless, wicked from loss,
Pray upon a soulless cross,
"May the devil of my dreams hold me tight",
A feeling of embrace I might,

Alone I invoke, may being alone calm,
For what am I, me alone, but a matchless palm,
I, me alone, an uncharasmatic charm,

For what are you and I but heartless and broken,
You and I but restless souls eternally woken,

Awake I shall remain,
As you the same,

Death at night peaceful it now seems,
The only cure to the poison of my dreams.
Alek Mielnikow Dec 2019
The sun settles into morning, 
and I'm waking up from another
restless night. Another night
spent with you hanging from
every dream and every breath.

But I am free. I have been
liberated. Last night I ripped
my heart out of my breast
and devoured it in front of you.

And you let me.

You let me harm myself
without letting it hurt you. 

Thank you.
