N is for Night




I used to look forward
To falling 
Between the sheets,
Almost instantly
Swept away to
Someplace dark and deep.
But now I have
Forgotten.
Outside the streetlights
stare unblinking
into the black sky
While I lie suspended 
Eyes open
Waiting 
For that old friend
To sweep me
Back into his arms.

  1. This is beautiful, Kate. I hope you're able to get the sleep you need. I had this kind of night last night. It's horrible.

    1. We could have been up planning world domination together (although we'd be too tired the next day to pull it off).

  5. Lovely! I like night, but that is possibly because I'm having a love affair with my bed. I love sleeping. :)
