Insomniac Mutterings

by Robin A Walter   Sep 19, 2013


Ugly darkness, wakeful skies,
bone weary heart heavy sighs;
bearing ancient burdens
on haggard shoulders,
still the night drones on.

No pill or elixir heals this bane,
numb hands and aching back;
yet time continues eternal
spirals in this meaningless orbit,
the night still drones on.

Through bruised lips dead silent,
hunger robbing the sightless;
moths seek shelter from the terror
that stalks beyond twilight,
crowned in dew and starlight,
drones the night still on.

    Ugly darkness, wakeful skies,

    ^^I find this opening lines very interesting. For me, I find a deeper meaning in it.

    bone weary heart heavy sighs;
    bearing ancient burdens
    on haggard shoulders,
    still the night drones on.

    ^^An image of a tired soul carrying weight of
    the past sitting on a chair..touching scene.

    The whole poem is so well written with vivid images of a sleepless soul tired of the never ending night. Liked the smoothness of the flow and the rhymes used.

    Congrats on the win!
