Beneath the shadowed trees still covered by the night Spending sleepless hours and restlessness With spinning thoughts in great distress There is no soothing balm for ache Neither calming pills to take These musings are never bypassed By amber liquids in a shot glass Peaceful dreams just will not come And like the beating of a drum The heart begins to race Nightmares wear an ugly face Disturbing visions come to call As soon as sleep begins to fall And screams burn in the throat Escape has lost the last of hope Horror cannot be dismissed Being dragged toward the abyss Thrown downward into hell Where easy slumbers fell Terror beckons, run and hide Kick sheets and blankets all aside Gentle will not go the night Blessed sleep has taken flight caroline 1999 all rights reserved ------------------ The only man worth your tears will never make you cry... |

A little too much caffine today, Caroline?  Enjoyed the read. I can relate to this kind of night of tossing and turning. ------------------ Julie ------------------------- Today a man discovered gold and fame, Another flew the stormy seas; Another set an unarmed world aflame, One found the germ of a disease. But what high fates my path attend; For I-today-I found a friend. >Helen Barker Parker |

This is well done indeed, caroline! Very descriptive. I could see the moonlit walk and the toss'n'turnin'! And I could feel the aggravation! Very good one! ------------------ Denise |

Caroline, you make this sound so real I would almost think you have experienced nights like this. |

*LOL* Julie! No such thing as too much caffiene for me! I am plagued by nightmares at times, and rather than go back to sleep, a walk is a better thing. It isn't too safe to walk alone in the dark anymore, so sometimes I just haunt the house. Dove and Denise...thanks! And sweet dreams! |

Sir Balladeer...I've experienced so many of these nights that I no longer need luggage to travel. I can pack the bags under my eyes! *LOL*  ------------------ The only man worth your tears will never make you cry... |
