Sleepless Nights

Sleepless nights
Closing in on the soul
Creeping up ever so often
Nay never enough soon

Waking the mind
From denial’s slumber deep
Pregnant with future’s child
Twin-born, of fears deep

Draining, life giving
Nature’s course in One
Unwelcome friend, my protector foe
These sleepless nights!

Shades of existence

Severly depressed to merely unenthusiastic
shades of existence or mere states of mind
lines of distinction blur swinging from one to another
hanging by hope of an unreal bliss
my day my night
my weekday drudgery my weekend respite
my shades of existence or my states of mind
my reality of late, nonetheless.
