My head hurts...
Sleep is just a dim memory
that taunts me from my bed.
My mind cant slow down,
Jumping from this thought
to that dream.
Wandering to places best forgotten,
Or places never been.
Shadowed corners that tempt
with the promise of oblivion
Only to be another doorway
of past regrets
and dreams left to die.
The night just hours to get through.
The dawn, a blessing and a curse.
And another day functioning,
but, apparently not well
if friends are to be believed.
My head hurts.
And still that tortuous Mistress
of the dark refuses me relief.
And its a lie you know,
It isn't always darkest before dawn,
All the how to books just
give my mind that much more to pick through.
It knows every trick in the book
even the little white pills.
And oh God my head hurts
as I sit here and type these words
after endless games of solitaire
or battling monsters, just not the
ones in my head.
Sleep has never been my friend
But now it wages war with savage intent
And I watch the sun retreat from
the battle
as an indifferent moon turns her back on me
...my head hurts.

Soothing Delta waves lay me back fit and proper when those feelings come my way.

Eight hours sleep in six and the head is set as it needs to be.

Myself, I like to burn the oil and wake the rooster.

88's Miss Paula.
Sleep well.

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".
