::Claim Me::
Sleep is trying to claim me
I fight to keep it off
Dreams are trying to take me
I write to stay awake
I fear the pain that awaits me
When my eyes close to the light
I fear the thought of waking
And looking at my life
An altered life I found in dreams
But the dreams turned to torment me
Wanting to sleep not to dream
Wanting to cry not to scream
Wanting someone to rescue me

Sunset beyond the fence
:: Sunset Beyond The Fence ::
The sun sets in beautiful colors of orange and pink
It makes me sad
The light is gone and I prepare
For another long January night
That sunset is free though
Beyond the fence that I am always sent back to
My eyes are wet
Thoughts on loved ones sick or missed
Luna is coming and Orion too
But
This cold January night
I would prefer sunlight to starlight

~ Drip-Drip ~
The I.V. drip drips
I look at tired eyes with lines
From a joyful life
I hold a hand
Once strong and calloused
Now weak and trembling
I smile down at him with the love
Only a daughter can give
I.V. drip drips
He closes his wisdom filled blue eyes
Goodnight Daddy
I will see you in the morning
Silence
Except for shallow breaths
From my father
My tears spill over as I watch
The I.V. drip drip
For T.M.H.
I love you daddy

:: Glass and Orion ::
It’s a cold winter
My mind is on the ocean
Cool winds in april
Burning stars in October
Have’nt seen Assateague in a couple years
Heard today they might cut of my Lighthouse
Sad news
Life’s yo-yo kept me away
But tonight
I find solace
A little patch of sand
Shore of a glass lake
There is a dolphin in the name
I sit on a dock this cold winter night
Rocking peacefully
Star wishing in Orion’s belt
Dreams of an ocean I have not seen
A breeze will carry me there
Someday

:: I Just Don’t Know ::
Double-Sided disorder
Strikes again
Went to the doc
Upped those meds
Explained to managment
Watch for Warning signs
Research the danger zone
When the circuit breaker is blown
Gotta stop the Hazard zone
Waiting for sanity
It always returns
Downside moments cause
unintended disruption
it takes time for the brain to stabilize
Constant effort
not always maintained
