Nightmares befall me
Dare not sleep, perchance to dream
Darkness envelops
Don’t catch this!

Nightmares befall me
Dare not sleep, perchance to dream
Darkness envelops
Hello, Saturday!
Rest and recuperation
from workaday week.
My eyes need rest from
monitoring monitor;
contact lens respite.
Serious ‘us’ time;
freedom from weekday neglect
and the, “I’m too tired”s.
Hello, Saturday!
Please do not be gone too soon.
You are true solace.
Furry lollipop
Sucked, oh so seductively
Ugh! Naughty kitten!
I’d love to make love
But I don’t have ingredients
Nor a like for like
Hearts detached from bonds
we strove so hard to keep tied.
Love let loose to lust.
My heart skips a beat
I lie alone, missing you
The bed is too big
Without you, I’m lost
Enfolded in vast duvet
Your breathing, absent
Tomorrow, again,
Sleep will evade my being
No warming comfort
I miss you, my love
Know that your spirit is here
By my side, always
