A Poem About Sleep

A Poem About Sleep

A Poem by Shimae Parks

My eyes are heavy 
all I want to do is sleep 
but I want to stay up and create more things
My eyes are water 
but I keep wiping them just in case I wake up
My body is weak
It's heavy and ready for sleep
I wish I can think but it seems 
like I have been blocked by my sleep
one more sentence 
one more word
just hold on until 
I finish what I wanted to say
I can't hold on 
the sleep is to heavy
it seems I can't get back the energy I lost
thinking of coffee
but no then i will really stay up
can't fight my sleep
I'm drifting like a feather slowly rocking back and forth
that is what i feel 
that is what I feel 
ok..ok.. 
awwwnnnn.. yawning 
awwwnnn... stretching
kicking the covers over to side I won't need them 
If I tried to get them in the middle of the night
but for now I'll just push them 
far and wide
feeling lazy
feeling like I am on my last run
yup sleep has hit 
good night sun.

Its OK. Lots more work required on this one. Although ti reads like an abstract poem, it needs to lift itself off the page with a message or a thought or a sparkle that will endear the reader to what it is saying.
