Broken Nights.

Insomnia is a miserable companion.


Slowly

hour after hour

time draws its claws

across the night.

 

Fragments of half

forgotten dreams call

softly,

 

their ragged forms

falling, drifting dust

in moon puddled

corners.

Hi Sue,
what a good idea, I have a TV in my bedroom ,and I regularly fall asleep in front of that one and the other one too.I feel like sleepy one of the seven dwarfs..Life can be very lonely during those dark sleepless hours.Be lucky,

Hello Sue
I hope this does not sound unsympathetic to your problem, but I sleep soundly most nights.. However I can see how frustrating it must be and you depicted that very well in your poem. You do have a way of creating an image, and like Peter I found the concluding phrase quite mysterious and moving. It almost put me to sleep!!
