Dear Sleep
Free Verse Poem About My One True Love

Dear Sleep,
We had a date tonight, but unfortunately; I cannot make it.
The clock hits 3am and work still beckons me, keeping me from your warm embrace.
I wish the world had stopped for the night, but my wishing has not made it so.
The stars, which were once so beautiful, now mock me in my exhausted state. Now is their lunchtime and they are in their prime, whereas my eyes are struggling to remain open under the weight of the sleep.
I feel as if the sandman has me in his grasp and I am fighting with all my strength.
All I can know is I will see you soon, my friend, my companion.
I will sink into your beautiful sea of tranquillity as you float me across the soothing waves, my body bathed in warmth.
I look forward to being as a light as a feather and as free as a bird in your arms.
I look forward to getting lost in my dreams. A maze of wonder and magic, unlike anything we see while awake.
As time ticks onward, I know one thing for sure;
I will see you soon my friend.
