Elusive…

~*~

~*~

There I lay…

Sleepless night…

Lost in my distracted thoughts…

Unable to rest…to be still…

The mind rushes…

~*~

Sleep comes…softly…

Fleeting…threatening to vanish…

Toss and Turn….

Twisted sheets match my thoughts…

My dreams….don’t dream…

~*~

Please…sleep come…

Take me where I can dream…

Where I want to dream…

Don’t disappear…

~*~

Dreams come hard and fast….

Too fast…too elusive…

The mind rushes…

~*~

Please slow down…

I want to know you…savor your lucid images…

Revel in the falling…

Dreams sweet embrace…

~*~

I cannot dream…

Will not dream…

For fear of awakening…yet again…

Dreaded disappearance…

The mind rushes…

~*~

Sleepless night…

~*~
