Sleep's sweet seduction soothes my ear,
My mind begins to flood.
My eyes mist into languid fog,
My thoughts mush into mud.

But surely as i lie awake i cannot fall asleep.
For, if my eyes indulged in rest
Monsters would fill my dream.

I wrote this at four in the morning one night cause i could fall asleep.

More real than solid earth;
And to these death does not mean decay,
But only another birth"

This is really amazing! I can relate to this in soooo many ways! I wish it would get published, it is just s purely outstanding! I really like how well you were albe to make the rhymes work out and the lines flow, it makes everything very easy to read and understand. I hope you know how lovely this is! CX
