When I Sleep!

[Syani]

Warning!!! This is kinda rough and I'm really out of practice so let's see how it goes.

When I Sleep!

You speak in riddles, of secrets never told...
Of mysteries big and little, of things I wish I've known.
There's no life left in you, yet truth is also not there;
Trying to deceive me with that blank-eyed stare.
I call you in my head, I call you in my dreams...
I call you when I wake, I call you when I sleep
My nightmares are filled with voices in the night,
Yet you're no longer there to bring back the light.
You've managed to forget that I'm the one you need...
I made myself forget that you're not there when I sleep.

I am really happy to see people posting their stories and poems here. I am a huge lover of literature and read voraciously - at least an hour a night, before I go to sleep, usually more. That has been my ritual since I was very young. I am impressed with all the works I have read so far - please keep going!

Poetry is one of my particular favorites. I never cared for it when I was younger, but one day I happened to pick up a book of poetry and read the first poem that I saw. I cried the entire time because it resonated so strongly with me, and finally realized the power that poetry had to evoke strong feelings. I have been hooked ever since.

I really like this poem, Syani - it is full of yearning and sadness, and I think you have done a good job capturing that. Thank you for sharing it!

Very good IMO...I am no where near a poet but do enjoy reading them when I come across one.

I look forward to more from you!
