the pressure builds the force of none pounding seconds on the run, are thoughts in cycles in constraint twisting turns, no sleep to paint my dreams in need to color world these seconds linger hours swirled, until I'm forced in dark of pain, duress in stressful rise again with shoulders ache and eyes feel weight blurred in visions, second take each moment draws, an impasse locked, helter skelter ticks the clock am wide awake in want of sleep counting poundings 'stead of sheep, words I'm zzzzing sawing done repeating pressure tortures one... "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

I hear the sounds of back and forth sawing in the rhythm of the verse. Very well done, whether intentional or not, I cling to the rhythm of a verse Also, I liked the imaginative theme Liz |

...was a migraine night until about two hours ago. It's probably still there, just excedrined to death thanks for replying, I haven't been up that late to write in ages, but sitting up was the only way to get rid of the headache early this morning or late last night. M |

Maureen, I've had many of those nights lately. It's hard to sleep when you're coughing your head off.......or when your head feels like it's about to explode, too..... Hope you sleep better tonight...  Hugs, Ethel |

Maureen, I know how you feel. Even when I go to bed I don't sleep. I just toss and turn all night. |

I don't want you to think I have forgotten all those who have responded. Thank you. There are days when the weather changes and my head begins to disown me...*s Cursed, I am, with my own internal barometer. |

liked the flow of the poem, felt like i was being taken for a ride on the road of tossing and turning, one ride i'd rather exchange for a different middle of the night adventure,if you catch my drift |
