    Poem Commentary

    nightmares and long sleepless nights are mine..sometime.

    insomnia


    ****





    my lover, insomnia, has returned
    she tipped my tables and bridges burned
    she eats the stars that seals the night
    interrogates with lurid light

    with shallow breath i beseech she
    to have sound mercy upon me
    she crushes me and dis-endows
    the pain i can't describe just now
     
    pages and reams of words unsaid
    turn to life from whence was dead
    and people, places, assorted faces
    set my mind off to the races

    sleep eludes me riled and rude
    and saturates with saddest mood

    now myths and monsters blessed with birth
    do haunt my pillows, hell is earth

    I know how that goes! I have found that a good shot of Whiskey helps me relax enough to fall asleep. Potentially habit forming but I try to only do it when I need to. I hope you can find rest tonight!

    This is a top rate poem. I love the metaphoricalness of it. (I know that isn't a word) Dark poetry is one of my favorite genres. Bravo!

    oh thank u so much for your time, dear friend.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
