Poems

Hey all, I decided to post some more of my work here for you guys to read.

Insomnia

Snow falls, relentlessly,
Unceasingly, a storm
Outside my window,
And the clouds
Blot out the moon.
Pitch black, sable night,
Total darkness.
And in the darkness,
The shadows creep,
And steal the sleep
From my eyes.
Again and again,
My lamp flashes on,
Glowing dull yellow,
And chasing them away,
Only delaying
Their return.


Happy to be Awake

During the day,
they sleep
in the sky,
invisible,
untouchable.
But when night
comes once more,
The stars come out
and dance again,
celebrating
nothing at all,
they're just happy
to be awake.
