Maybe now I can Sleep through the Night

Intoxicated

by the poison of

pent up memories:

emotions -

feeling!

over-ripe

words

sticking, now

to the inside of her

ribcage...

A spider's web

of

thoughts

and the desperate need

to

dust them out

gracefully

in order to dream

peacefully

if only for one night.

And she is

well aware

that her

Repentance

to the

Muses

is more than a

pious prayer,

but the Soul

she regains

for baring all her

sins

and

emotions

is well worth the

sleepless

Nights of

saturating

her old journal

with new words.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I hadn't written anything for months when I finally wrote this.

I've been having some wicked dreams lately, and my Dad thought that maybe it was my creative side rebelling, because i've been neglecting it. So I sat down the other night at about 11:59 and just started writing...this is the first of about five or six poems I wrote that night...
