Insomnia

Incessant noise
Useless babble
A stream of consciousness runs unchecked
Memories are flashes that will not stay in place
Trying to get a grip on things,
That do not want to be caught.

Sleep avoids me.

I'm lying in a vacuum of endless wakefulness
Thoughts are unclear, hazy
Eyes heavy, but open I want to sleep
I want to dream.
I want that long awaited oblivion
I want to slip from conscious to sub conscious
I want my dreams to take over
And the night to blanket my eyes.
