Sleepless poems

Yawning, grouchy mood
Each night, my sleep is interrupted.

Yawning, concentration is affected.
Mistakes are committed.

Dozing, tired man
Catching up with sleep.


The Elusive Sleep
Each night, I prepared for our meeting
Body and dental hygiene a must,
A clean set of PJ, nothing fanciful.

Our meeting agreement involved lying still,
muscles relaxing and natural breathing.
A blank mind I tried to maintain.

Anxiety, anger, depression, worries, etc.
Negative feelings are not
Appreciated by my guest.

Atlas, I grew impatient.
For she had stood me up again.
I lie awake,
Thinking of The Elusive Sleep.
