Dreams of Slumber
Oh sleep,
Why do you deprive me?
Golden parachutes
Abound but untimely.
Impeccable beauty
But such terrible timing.
Necessary caffeine
To keep the heart pounding.
Dreams come on slow
And are hard to remember.
Heart strong with weakened hands
I forget my slumber.
Disingenuous state of being,
I'd rather reality be my only reason
To cast off and find
Myself in all corners of the world.
My home is far and not where
I now rest my mind.
This is temporary until my heart can find
The mat behind the door
That reads welcome,
I'm forever yours.
