#hypnos
O Hypnos, king of sweet repose,
How I wish I could be as mellow as you.
The dew from your garden is soft as your wings—
But the feeling of drifting away is softer.
Though slumber will be ephemeral,
The tranquil, light in your fingertips,
will always remind me of a fathers.
You lull the weary, aching heart to rest,
Answering the tired spirits quiet call,
Night blooms like your poppies petals,
Oh come and bring your soothing, gentle slumber soon.
Take my worries away,
The restless cares that I couldn't count,
Let them fade with your embrace.
Ode to the god who brings quiet rest,
The tender, fleeting, peaceful pause
O, Hypnos, bring us your solace from the world of strife.

call hypnos
the Greek God of sleep
to cast me under his spell
as all i wanted was
to cherish a
goodnight
sleep.

Swollen eyes of sleep depreieve
With giant black bags underneath
Bright red cheeks huff and puff
Raggedly pained air that I breathe
Tear stains appear on my pillow each night
In dozens of crosshatched lines
But I drudge out of bed to wash them away
So that nobody knows they were mine
From here on out- I refuse to sleep
to be forced into nightmares again
Coffee and lights as my main support
Why should I worry my friends?
