Sometimes my sleep is dreamless
sometimes it is not
but I can't tell the difference
for from sleep, tiredness is all I got

Yet in my tiring slumber
dreaming is what I like most
when I dream, I dream of my summer
summer with you is as lovely as a rose

I know that I must put these dreams aside
For heartbreaks, it will only provide
but it doesn't matter for in waking or sleeping,
it is you I see, only you I see.
Sleep.
I loved you 'tween the rushes of love
          and downpours of ecstasy,
    midst windswept rapture for the ages,
'til the storm ravaged our destiny
    left behind crumpled passages in its wake
still, I hold those love letters to my breast
  whence those dreams of passion
       wake amid dormant slumber

My dreams lie bare and open.
My house cold and broken. What dreams have gone in the absent wake.
I stumble then I'm still. Memories made on darker moons stir. I rattle between shades of night cloaked until the morning light. Yet still hollow is the pleasure of the sun. The slumberless nights have just begun.
Just the same horrific dream. I hope that's all it is.

Wake me from my slumber
Day by day I become number
I don't know what to feel
I am losing my will

I find it hard to carry on
My heart has turned into stone
I try my best to revive
I hope our love will survive

Wake me from my sleep
I don't wanna go deep
I must get out from this sadness
So we can get through the coldness
Michael Verdant Jun 2015
Drift now, to the safest place
Where you no longer bear the cold
Of the one you love not caring for you.

Where the burden of your failures
No longer holds you down
And is as far away as opening your eyes.

It's  where loneliness turns to warmth,
Hurt turns to solace,
And the agony of longing
Turns into a mending embrace.

The fare is free, the journey is short.
All you need to do, is close your eyes
And go to sleep.

Sometimes when I write
It keeps me up all night
But it'll be Okay
I'll sleep in the day
Cause these heavy eyelids
I can't fight
To date,
We've felt so much hate
So before it's too late
Let's awake,
From our slumber of ignorance
I'll make you happy even at my expense
Because what I feel,
If you could feel it too

Then you'd be born anew
(Edited from a song I wrote with added thought)
Poetic T May 2015
Sleep wishful hopes that the day will come and I wake once more.
Can I lay dormant  waiting till I awaken still, silent reborn.

We slumber and construct the existence Of the next day, we
Wake to a pre-recorded continuation  till we sleep again.

An illusionary sleep
Has taken over every soul
Eyes wide open
Yet the vision is blurred
Every step is a stupor
Across broken paths
Not an inch of freedom
Spaces are traps
Detached from the soul
Every waking hour a tribulation
Truth swept under the delusion
Under an unknown spell
Magic wand instructs every move
It’s time to wake up
From an illusionary sleep

I've helped you help me process my addiction
your conviction to your faith
or lack
my conviction with the law
the smack
the tall walls fall around
I have found myself on many grounds
your voice rang no sound
all the evil within
cut away without forsaking your skin
sin in complex ****** addiction
in addition additional additions conveyed
swept away
easy
not ******
saves my day
I speak with nothing in the way
convey my wish for more has been gone or delayed
relayed admissions of guilt
of the many tables I have tilted
still I have my bouts
doubts
God?
Can you help this ******* out?
hurdling hurdles under me feet
can He feel this beat?
Stumbling upon piles and lost at the four way
...street...
un-ended
my God is not offended.
