Can’t Breathe ~~~*~~~ Can't breathe Nasals arid as A desert wind The running ceiling fan Cools me not It dries My sleepless eyes. Too much Tossing and turning Unable to think, Senseless thoughts Occupying my mind Leaving no room For my fears Of the night. My stomach Is performing It's own concert Like children whimpering In their heavenly sleep. Can't wait to see The eastern skies Fading to gray Reviling the outlines Of the trees. I crave For the orange hues To paint the heavens Of the horizon east I'll know then Tomorrow is outside. By: William Bonilla D'Artagnan 12/15/2013

William
Perhaps your writing friend from the east can help with that insomnia!
Call or text me next time u are unable to sleep i am always up till 1am
Love your descriptive verses especially the line
"I crave for the orange hues to paint the heavens of the horizon east"

Much peace love and light

Everything seems better in the morning. All of the thoughts that keep one awake at night seem to run and hide from the sun. Great write!

Love ya!

Can so relate, William. I have had a pattern of staying awake all night for no particular reason and get that sinking feeling when I know that 'ping', the switch in the brain, that means it's going to happen. Great physical and evocative descriptions and the mood clearly conveyed. Perhaps now you're feeling sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy... xx

It's only when I eat late, when I have something on my mind that is troubling me, or I'm too hot or too cold, that I can't sleep. So I can't comment.

Full moons bring, sleep troubles sometimes,
Change in seasons and moody minds.
Hope your tossing and turning will stop,
Soothe your stomach with ice cream and pop.
Sit in your rocking chair and look to the east,
Those beautiful skies will give you great peace!

Enjoyed this one William!

Sounds like a tossing and turning night without end, but never without desires. It is bright and sunny here in the swamp this morning. Hope it is the same where you are.

beautiful expressions, A worthy wait, what more we want in life, but for a sunny tomorrow.
