week small hours.

Trying to copy the others sleeping,
not understanding what keeps me awake;
perhaps just one more ache.

Creeping through the quiet
I try not to wake another soul
until time has brought me to slumber
again to rest my weary head.

At three, I awaken
without any warning,
but can't leave my bed
when dark turns to morning.

3 a.m.

books of drab and boring things
bring back sleep on drowsy wings.
I keep a cache always on hand;
sleep inducement on command.

Nothing more boring than reading a book
that it took the author too long to write,
leaving us plodding from page to page,
dragging along through the bleary night.

I keep the ipad charging
digital bulging books
nite mode on, while hubby snores
it spares me angry looks

midnight strikes the turning time,
darkness changed to day.
sleep turns to anticipation
of tomorrow's fray.

weeping in the small hours.

At one and two and three
i wonder what is left of me
pursuing sleep without a chance
i might as well get up and dance

Also by my bed at night
a tempting pile of good stuff
excitement, laughs and mystery,
avoiding all the chick fluff

We danced until the clock struck two,
Being tired had not bothered our feet,
Until the sunrise shining far in the distant view,
an early diner breakfast before we get to sleep.

weird small hours.

midnight marks another hour
no longer or shorter a night remains
but sleep evades my restless power
to hide, beneath its cover, my pains

with every charm
to light our world

Restless and wide awake at 2AM
the mind is in full motion
thoughts and dreams on a journey to take
toward the desired conscious destination.

His side of the bed
became my stash

The sweetest memories remain
of days without a care or pain,
If we could go back there again,
to dance away the night, to dance into a fresh new day.

When the day is done and done,
the past comes creeping in,
as if it hadn't had it's turn
it encores once again.

Nite light of the Moon
shines through the darkness
as a candles illuminating golden halo
among the multitude of stars
embers glowing against the sky.

At 3:00 I rise as sleep derides
my bleary blurry burning eyes,
I toss the blankets to the floor
and try to fall asleep once more ... ... ...

all grown up

fed on stars and fairy tales,
believing everything I'm told.
gullible and so naive,
but less so now I'm old.

Spook doesn't sleep at night.
i hear her restless pace.
thumping up and down the stairs
as if this were her place

3 a.m., the devil's hour
when sleep is slaked a bit,
at least enough for futile thoughts
to start a worry fit.

I will string the moon for you
with stars like twinkling pearls
and you shall walk through blackened night
among galactic swirls.

The moon and stars hang high and long
sparkling gems in the night
plays the moonlight serenade and love song
as heartbeat rhythms put diamonds in her eyes.
