Request of Morpheus I want you so, oh Morpheus, to come to me tonight I need peace and quiet, and a silent, non-dream flight into a warm, calming place of beautiful, serene abode, take me please oh Morpheus, till morning do me hold. I beseech thee, sweet Morpheus, to hold my dreams away, for they’ve left me so uneasy, held me in darkness’ sway between the dreaming and reality every single night, oh I beg of you, dear Morpheus, take away all dreams in sight. I desire tonight, oh Morpheus, some blessed hours of peace, hold me soft, hold me warm, I beg on bended knees, for I’ve said my prayers, oh please, and for now I yearn for blessed release from my dreams, oh please do turn my night of repose into one of quiet, not to toss or turn about, so in the morning I’ll wake well, not feel as if I’d shout to heaven to hear oh how, my nerves have been so frayed oh Morpheus, you’ll never know, just how to you I’ve prayed. So hear me now, hear me true, know I’m facing fact if I don’t sleep sound tonight, heaven knows how I’ll act; for there’ve been signs that I’ll know not what it is to do, except, sweet Morpheus, if not I sleep, I’ll come after you. ©KRJ 3 November 1999 ------------------ Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

I like this poem- except for one thing- (At the risk of sounding stupid)- who is Morpheous? ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |

Denise, I slept somewhat better, but the dreams were still there... Sys, thanks for reading, Morpheus is the god of dreams...from Greek mythology...and he didn't listen... Watcher, thanks for reading, sorry you have the same problem... Pepper, glad to know you're smiling today! ------------------ Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
