Restlessness

Restlessness makes my nights sleepless

Overloaded thoughts make my lights stranded

 

My mirrored reflection affects my emotion

Finding the old me, now lost in the sea, never ending

Waves that never cease my ease, bewildering

 

Kisses pushes me to the dark,, hugs causes me to bark

Stars from far above filled this emptied love

 

Voices Rant, faceless haunt, memories taunt

Goodbyes are beginning, the ends are starting

Author's Note

~ Fragments of my soul are scattered in my verses
* I flunk!
* Poetry is therapy
* Questionable Mentality
* Restlessness

Sometimes I thought that it's just word-play but then there is always truth hides in little fragments of what i felt when i wrote it. There is always this feel that i have release something in every write i wrote, I guess that's just how i write...

Enjoy the read my friends ~
I'll be around soon ~

This piece reminds me of many nights I lay here in bed and scattered thoughts, emotions, fears, doubts, questions, self-reflection, desires, needs for love and affection, and "voices" plague my psyche and cause my soul to be restless and unable to sleep. It is like waves crashing in and nothing to hold on to-restlessly tossed about, trying to grasp that sense of peace that will lull me to sleep and soothe my soul. Nicely done, I enjoyed.

thank you very much, I came to read this again, and read it again from time to time whenever I felt those sleepless nights... thinking have i found my answers? maybe yes or maybe not.... its a long journey along the way... I am glad you found something to relate into about this piece... I can't thank you enough!

I often do the same thing with several of my pieces, that is how you can tell it came from the soul.. writing as therapy can be useful and healing.. I am the same.. you are more than welcome, I meant it. it was my pleasure.

[Pax]

sometimes they are heavy, isn't it? but through writing we learned to accept, that's what I learned as well. I am glad to know you and your thoughts, April, it is very nice.

burdens can be heavy, that is why we must "lighten the load" and learn to overcome and let go. Writing is a good way to do that. Likewise, I enjoyed this piece and look forward to reading more of your work.

I just wanted to tell you that i would love to read this, but the font is hard for me to read - just wanted to let you know - or maybe a larger font - or maybe my computer screan is just too damn small! ha ha - anyhow, I look forward to reading this

[Rita L. Sev]

Unable to relax, the prospect of goodbyes followed by new beginnings invades rest... Some deep thought here - well penned!

Like the mix of couplets and the middle tercet, a poem written with care, nice job

[AmySabon]

I'm glad you could be the one to write about such a topic Pax, because you describe every detail so carefully and vividly. I think this write of yours tells a story about how all of us feel on the inside sometimes, and how we all can relate and we all go through similar obstacles in life. Rock on.

finding ourselves in places...thoughts clouding our serenity.... well done !

you know Paxy...that is the way it was for me for along time! I would write..then discover myself ! I was so locked out of my emotions...but as I have written & expressed... I have broke out of that locked in place...
and you will too !

Somebody I am friends with said I should read you but I don't recall who so I can't tell you who to think for the referral. However I need to thank them too because this is good work. The ending reminds me of T.S. Eliot (in the end is my beginning) I like the format and flow and play upon words. Nice solid imagery also. I am not gonna pick out and particular lines because basically the whole thing is very solid. Nice work Pax.

When the mind fills with darkness tis hard to relax, to want to sleep, afraid of what dreams might bring. Worries and fears seem to lay in wait for the moment you put head to pillow, the barking at the moon, the shrugging of shoulders too tired to loosen - and the being becomes a frightened child needing the comfort hiding away like the absent muse. You write with a sharp pencil here and there, almost angry, certainly needing the calm that lets you explain , ' .. never ending Waves that never cease my ease, bewildering '
