Insomnia

Night

Night, when the moon meets its apex

When people sleep

But not me



Darkness brings the tides of slumber

To those not scared to swim

To swim in the dim lit black pool

A pool of sky and stars



Daemons in my head keep from its shore

The shore of slumber

While others are admitted all I get

Is to swim in the relentless sands of time



Why a little daemon keeps me from sleep

I know not why

The thought of sleep makes me yearn it

But I am tortured by demonic prods

When I am so close I can feel it but

I am never close enough.

Wonderful! The only way I can describe my pleasure in this poem is to relate it to one of my old favorites, Invictus. You truly have the heart.
And I beleve that I run a tie game with LaLee with No dispute for biggest fan.
