Sleep sleep sleep
Oh why cant i sleep
Where have you gone?
Weve been friends for so long
As children we danced and sung songs
Sweet release under the moon
But now night is day
And all is undone
Bitter sweet sleep nearly at dawn
We traded dances for battles
And songs for curses
So sleep my friend here i am again
Alone and awake
Again i ask Where have you gone?
Sleep sleep why cant i sleep…
Thats how i felt all last week
I cannot tell if i like this attempt at poemening…ha new word… poemening the act of attempting a poem …
I walk alone with my fists clenched
fighting the demons off every day
I know there will be success if I try
not so some people say
Fight your illness as hard as you can
you will be happy some day.
Bees seem to love me
It was fine to land on my hand
But my bee friend brought company
And traded hand for face as the spot to land
So there i was with coffee in hand
And 13 bees crawling all over me
I felt the panic rise as i closed my eyes…
any way i ran away
To be stung another day
A hydra to slay
one after another
the heads replace each other
sever one, another sprouts
with even more poisonous fangs
and forked tongues flicking
i with my puny sword fencing off
the onslaught of these seven heads
seven dragons in one dragging its body
advancing from its den
exhaling infernal flames
and i am Jason with a sword and shield
retreating and fencing
the green beast rears its body
i move in and pierce its chest
its hellish heart
and the hydra’s heads scream in unison
as the beast thuds
in a cloud of brown dust
at my sandaled feet
i the ego, the I!
