Last night when you were in deep sleep
I scribbled a poem on your bare back,
a page so soft--with love bites and moles
I used them to cut the t's and dot the i's;
my finger tips' softly turn created ripples
in a placid lake where you prepared
to take a dip in your dream,
my words followed you in that unknown land
secretly to know your destination.
I remembered to forget every scribbled word
as it was my gift to the sleepless night,
she was picking up each word one by one
and kept them in her lap of silence.
For the first time,you never knew
how a poem was born and lost
in the silence of night.

Talk to me
otherwise I'll disturb you,
I'll follow you everywhere
and sneak into your mind
silently.
From the busy street
to your lonely room,
in the hectic hour
and in lazy noon,
I'll come to you,
upsetting your schedule
frequently.
In sleepless nights
when you nurture, caress
a newborn poem,
I'll come in
forcing you to stop
and think of me.
Please talk to me!

love,
Such little time has passed where once was just
a dream; I lived to love you
beneath labyrinths sky
Sleepless nights, clutching to memories as
they slowly fade echoing
through deprive lace fingers
And I would go, to the ends of the earth
to be close and in your arms
feeling gracious heaven

Emotional me
is out from my verbose head
like a winter flower with
petals, so much like
hankies of a sleepless god,
to wave in such elegance
my charm over you,
again and again, ‘til your
smile, left to death by the strides
of your rococo
lover, is awakened and
becomes my choka poem

Sleepless nights
Held myself tight
All alone
I’m on my own
Tell me you love me
Tears down my face
Throwing myself all over the place
Filled with anger filled with hate
Why did I leave my heart to break?
You knew what you were doing
You never ever cared
I’m stone cold sober
Disaster in the air
No more love
No more tears
No more phone calls
No more fears
No more kisses
No more hugs
Because my heart no longer bleeds for you
It will never bleed for anyone else *sigh*
Heart breaks happen to everyone but remember there is always light at the tunnel

crush, girlfriend, i love you, i miss you, love,
High,
as the sun sets i look up at the sky
Watch the rooftops glisten with the moon light
Wondering if we see the same stars at the same time?
Butterflies, heartbeating, with these feelings i can see blind
Sleepless nights talking, leave me wanting more
Like them glowing footsteps on the sea shores

heartbroken,
Still awake at 3 am
Listening to a mellow song
Waiting for the sun to rise
Holding back the tears in my eyes
Still up at 3 am
Doing some flashback
What happened to us
A love that I fully trust
Still sleepless at 3 am
"It's not you it's me" your voice still echoing
My heart was ripped in thousand pieces
And seems was drop into different places
Still not in bed at 3 am
Holding a bottle of beer
Wishing it can help me heal
Hoping it can erase what I feel
Still wide awake at 3 am
Maybe it just don't fit right at all
Waiting for the sun to rise for me to traces
To start anew and pick up... my broken heart pieces...

love, me,
I know you're so far,
Pain turned around,
Tired in body storms,
There was pain in the eyes of the sleepless.
Distance hurts me to watch you,
Sometimes we walk on the roads have not chosen,
This is one of them.
You know what would be the end of a road,
Besides if I do not forget my love,
Deep down somewhere,
Achieve me with hope,
Waiting.
you to come,
How long two weeks,
I'm ready to love you.

husband, love, sadday,
Another sleepless night alone,
as thoughts raced through my head,
thinking about that day you left,
and the last words that you said.
I wake up several times at night,
reaching for an empty space,
hoping all was just a dream,
and I’d wake to see your face.
Never does a day pass by,
when I don’t wonder how you feel,
and when I start to really worry,
I just bow my head and kneel.
“Please god be his eyes,
when his duty is in the field,
bring him home safe and sound,
god please protect him, and be his shield.”
Every time i say those words,
a wave of calmness comes over me,
and I’m finally able to close my eyes,
to finally get some sleep.

Another Vein - - Another Valentine
Earth shattering silence you bring
The enveloped wing of your being fills me
Confessions of love are never enough
The more of me to you
Is another vein in my sleepless words
Written restless on hot sheets
How the taste of you
Lingers a sorcery of enchanted language speaks
Soft aphrodisia of my imaginings
Angel of passion in connotation
Your beauty pussy cats this hearts symmetry
Felled I fall so willingly
Lost in your captured palms
The cage of my ever dreaming love
Holding you would be enough
With the magnitude of the space in my heart
I will give you more
Than love can command

Sleepless nights that
I have had,the things
you've said has made
my heart sad.
Out of the blue, you
walk out the door,
telling me you'll
love me forever more.
Satan has desired to
sift you as wheat,
because of this, you
have become weak.
My Jesus has heard
my outpouring cry,
and this was His only reply.
Don't you worry,
and don't you fret,
keep your faith,I'm on
the scene, for I'm never late.

lost love,
Love, you have given me nothing but pain,
Heartache, sleepless nights and loneliness,
Why do you make me suffer so?
My days are dour and nights grim,
I cannot breathe easy;
Did I do you wrong?
Tell me but once,
Oh, why me?
I ask,
Why?
I,
who have
loved you so,
I want nothing
of this world's riches
But to love and be loved,
Song on my lips and blue sky,
And I have hope and faith in love,
I am not ready to turn my back
For I know love will come my way again!

Long-stemmed Promises
sweet babies
need sleep, sustenance and love.
Sounds easy enough.
Ask the sleepless mother
who feels the diaper rash more
than the infant.
Ask the mother whose child
is the bully or the bullied or
the social outcast.
Ask the mother of the child
Hooked on drink and drugs,
the troubled ones.
Ask the mother of the adult
child growing her own
long-stemmed promises.

war,
Acoustic shadows haunted hills
and crawled within a sleepless cave
where peace was whispered in a wish
and silence was an endless prayer.
The sound of tears dripped in the wind
that carried din until it bled
the last of life from hungry lips,
the last of love from hopeless hearts...

Every day and every night,
i toss and turn in a sleepless fight.
In my heart and on my mind,
in my dreams, it's you i'll find.
One more day is all i need,
but one more day won't make you see.
You're all i want,
you're all i need;
just one more day is all i plead.
For every day i spend with you,
more and more our love will brew.

Tender, tender, touch him now
Surrender, surrender sleepless brow
Sleep is a palace, love is a feast
Come weary darling I sing release
Tenderly drift, drift, drift away
Love is forever, life's but a play
Tender, tender, rock her now
Surrender, surrender sleepless brow
Time is so fleet, and love is strong
Come weary darling rest my song
Tenderly drift, drift, drift away
Love is forever, life's but a play
Tender, tender, O my heart yearns
Surrender, surrender the boatman churns
Carry him (her), Carry him away
Angels come watch him, watch here I pray
Tenderly drift, drift, drift away
Love is forever, dream where you lay.

lost love, love, on writing and words, sad, love,
I wrote a pretty love song
filled with lullabies
and starry eyes
and fingers intertwined.
Drunk with love
and forgetting my name
nothings the same
and my hearts all aflutter.
Memories of sleepless nights
soft pink lips
and fingertips
cause me to lose my place
Your hand on my cheek
lips on necks
passionate sex
and embraces so dear
Such a pretty love song
filled with memories
and sweetest dreams
If only it were real.

I am busy now
but will come back in your mind....
sleepless nights await
wherever you go
I will sneak into your thoughts....
keep the pills ready
pills may bring you sleep
but can they give you the peace?....
peace in my embrace

deep, moon,
but my heart still weeps to be a Swarovski spark~
within the amorous soul of your stellar skies,
where singing sunsets bask in petrichor sighs,
mirroring magical wings amidst blushing vines,
while I burn for you in silence, like sleepless stars~
immersed in a moonlit maze of painted love….

confusion, introspection, love,
Morning shadows hang empty silence outside my window
Witnessing to mistakes beyond the curtain
While sleepless nights drudge deeper holes in my heart
Your eyes gaze in my direction searching for an answer
Our empty love seeps through the cracks of my searching heart
As I'm waist deep in fear caused by my own selfish mistakes
Blindly letting go to grasp the empty air, I find myself drowning in another love
Boldly suffocating my heart to release secret desires within myself
As we interlock the beautiful connection within our souls
The unblemished sky puts me to rest in the arms of peace

lost love
Alone again
Without you
Alone again
And feeling so blue
So many sleepless nights
Leading to endless days
A life left in turmoil
Since you passed away
The light has turned to dark
No fire without a spark
Nightmares
Are all my dreams
In this world
Nothing is what it seems
So I call to you
Please help me through
For I am alone again
Alone without you
The End

angst, blue, break up, cry, dark, sad, sad love,
It’s a harsh cold winter
You’re gone and I’m so bitter
I sat front-row seat
As I watched our love wither
Heart gouged by the splinters
You’ve silenced your ringer
And my feelings for you
Oh, they still linger…
It’s a harsh cold winter
Choked sobs and silent whimpers
Sparks of love burned out
Leaving ashes and cinder
Sleepless nights
Bottles of whiskey
Skipped meals
My love, do you miss me?
It’s a harsh cold winter
I’ve always been an overthinker
Should I move on? Or reach out?
letting my healing progress hinder
Week old sheets that smell of you
Tears as wide as the ocean
People come and go
But all I ever wanted was your devotion

Can I kill the pain today?
Just make it all go away?
Can I breathe again today?
Just make it all seem so far away?
Yesterday is over
The past is dead
Why is it so hard to get that through my head?
All the sleepless nights spent thinking about you,
and how you made me smile
All the sleepless nights spent wishing
that you could have stayed for just awhile

I am a Wandering bird
with broken wings
looking for true love again
I have flaws
my eyes are weary
sleepless
dreamless
visionless
my tears are lost
drained
dried
my words are ransacked
speechless
empty
my body is battered
bruised
wounded
and mutilated
my soul is shattered
scarred
and broken
I am a walking pain
shapeless
odorless
non-infectious
unfelt
unseen
untouchable
cause soul and pain are my guardians
I am a wandering bird
with half body
but whole soul
will you accept me?
the way I am.
