Sleep No More By Paul Wilson Sleep tonight in darkness of the past Journey back to time before Explore visions in mind so vast Travel to your inner core When you were not yet born As blood of life flowed thru your veins To days you now mourn Capture what part of life remains Do not spend time or dwell On days from within your past Should we burn in hell Upon our soul a spell is cast Awaken from this restless sleep As we dance with the devil this night Wipe the tears from eyes that weep As we look for a guiding light Sleep won’t come this night My mind is running wild These dreams return without invite They take me back… to when I was a child Evil grows within thy heart Escape this prison our goal Memories of past now depart Leave me empty without a soul Take what you came for Release me from your grasp In my heart dwell no more Remove the head of the asp |

Sunshine~ Thank You for taking time to read. I never really knew about the full moon, but I knew something was going on for me to write about something to do with darkness & spells. Serenity~ Meteor shower,sky gods, Are you casting spells again? Thanks for the lovely reply...Paul Lyra~ Thank You for taking time to read. This is my regular waking hours since I'm at work till 6:00AM I hope you can get some sleep before dawn arrives...Paul [This message has been edited by Paul Wilson (11-19-2002 12:44 AM).] |

Hey Paul, Looks like a lot of us are on the midnight shift with you tonight. I'm fixing to go to sleep, though. I might better read a love poem or something first, so I won't have nightmares about demons and snakes. You sure were realistic in your descriptions in your poem. OOOHHH, this was scary. HEEHEE!!!! I guess you know I'm kidding. But, it really was a good spooky story. Kind of like a Halloween story. "Love makes the world go around" |

Ethel~ Thanks for the kind reply. At first I was going to write about dreams & nice things, then it changed to nightmares and demons weird combination but my mind is sort of weird.Have a good sleep...Paul |

Good write Paul.....I rarely sleep...there's an old Jewish Proverb that says; "If you want to see your dreams come true...don't sleep"......Now, this hasn't worked for me yet....but my mind never quits working, and I just don't sleep well....and if I were to get on this board in the middle of the night, I'd never sleep as my mind would be churning on ways to bash Balladeer or LongJohn. Sometimes it just doesn't pay to get out of bed in the morning....and that's only if you go to bed at night!!! |

Oh, no, not you too! This full moon and other celestial events, i.e. meteor shower wreak havoc with my sleep and my dream life! This poem fits in perfectly! Very well done! Linda |

Noah...May all your nightmares turn into sweet dreams. The mind can be a frigthful thing that leaves scars on our hearts & souls. Little children need all the love and comfort we can give them, so that they don't have nightmares.Thank you for caring...Paul |

Mr. Toe...Thank you sir for taking time from your busy schedule of harassing deer & john to reply. I don't sleep very much either, I think maybe it's because as I once was told as we get older we require less sleep, or maybe it's those afternoon naps I take everyday LOL. I really enjoy reading all the harmless ribbing between yourself,Balladeer & Long John. Thanks for the laughs...Paul |

Linda~ I didn't mean to scare you, This was just one of those weird poems that jumped out of my mind the night of the meteor storms. Thanks for reading and your scarry reply...Paul |
