Insomnia ..........

With a mind drugged with insomnia

I greeted the rabid chilly day

With listless eyes i looked at her

Hoping for a dreamless sleep


She spat at me with her chilly dew

And punched me hard with her icy winds

She did this all with poise and tact

As if to test my thirst for sleep


I crawled back to my steaming shell

Shielding my eyes from her practical stare

She was ruthless and seeped into my shell

And clawed my mind till it bled


I stopped my fight and lay prostrate

And plugged my ears to ward off her laugh

I cried aloud for my lovely slumber

The dreamless sleep who loved me once...
