An add-on thought.

The clock has struck twelve,

it's the midnight hour,

the theatre of verse

has begun as thoughts

vie for attention -

pouring out into mind's arena

in the space provided

for such nocturnal activities.

I hear you thought banging

on my internal walls,

but I refuse to get up.

Do not share with me

I'm dining in with sleep,

the restaurant of dreams

has booked my table.

So go away, you intruder YOU!

The audacity YOU display

to get me up,

and entertain YOU,

to write YOU down,

to lock YOU in,

be off with YOU!

Three out of four thoughts

want to sleep.

Love it... I imagine most of us have similar experiences from time to time... I know I do, often.... it helps to know others feel similarly..... :)

Thanks Neville, you are too kind, just another published scribble of nonsense lol

[Neville]

nonsense is such a subjective perception .. I will accept art or poetry nowt less :)
