Time for sleep

Posted on October 3, 2015 by avsweb

I sleep with one eye open, trying to get some rest

It doesn’t matter what I do, I’ve tried my best

Trees scratch on the windows pane, I think I’m going insane

Neighbors are home, kid is screaming, because he got a new drone.

I wish I could tell the kid off, but he’s not my own

I get up to make sure the window is closed

Back to bed, I’ll have another go

Five minutes later, the damn phone rings

I try to drown out the noise, but it won’t stop

I jump up out of bed and trip on my shoe

I’m laying on the floor, I yell “F You!”

I make my way to the phone, but nobody is there

I look at the phone, it was a blocked number

Phone is now off the hook, won’t be a bother

Next minute you know, someones at the door

Screw this, I’m going back to bed

I need my rest, before I…

I’m back in bed, with no distractions

Here I go, 1, 2, 3…

10 minutes later, I need to pee

A fairy whispers in your sleep…

A Fairy Whispers

Magical creatures can be sweet

A fairy whispers in your sleep

Good night wishes are just play

Imaginary you say, oh nay

Count your blessing, there not mean

A fairy is a lovely being

Lonely at times, they will whine

Creating a sound, that you can’t hear

Really listen, it’s useless my dear

Each whine is quiet as can be

A fairy whispers, in your sleep

The tiniest sound is hard to hear

Useless with just your ears

Rarely are the fairies heard

Even if your awake instead

So, next time you go to bed, there could be a fairy near your head

My fingers are shaking, as I reach for the chain and lock the deadbolt. I run to the windows to make sure they are all locked and I close my blinds. I am scared… Really scared. Like freaking out scared… Wondering what or who is this guy. It’s was hard to get a good look at him, but I know it’s a man. I hate being scared, especially when I am alone.

I go into my bedroom and lock the door. I get into bed, pull the covers up over me and wait. Wait for what I think… Just waiting.

I must have dozed off. I look at the clock and It’s been about an hour. So far so good, nothing has happened. As I start to get up, I hear a noise at my door. I jump back in bed. It can’t be Saul he is out-of-town. Could it be that man I saw by the tree? Could it?

A few hours later, I finally get up. I walk over to my front door. Slowly opening it I step outside. Everything, seems fine. What a relief. As I turn around I notice something, that I had not noticed before. Perched on top of my gate is a glove. A black glove. My glove…

One more drop…

There was a man from Italy, who danced so elegantly.

One more drop of wine, he was sure his wife wouldn’t mind.

One drop led to another, until he finally knocked over the bread and butter.

Looking aghast, he promised he would not have another glass.

Tip toeing to his room, he knocked over the broom.

As the broom fell down, his wife looked at him with a frown.

She snapped get to bed, before you get a knock on the head…

The wind blows…

The wind blows with all its might…

Trees swaying and bending, oh so tight

The cry of birds screeching with sorrow

Not knowing if they will have a home tomorrow…

Land of Nowhere…

The water rushed with vigor down the hill. The animals had already left the valley. The Indians grabbed their children and horses. Not all of them succeed, in leaving their homes. The ones that did survive we’re heading off to a land of nowhere… They weren’t sure, where their next home would be. The memories of their loved ones taken away, where too much for some to bear. The children’s eyes filled with fright, as their mothers held them with all their might.

Sleep… Zzzzzz.

That wonderful word: Sleep. Getting some Z’s, as some call it. You know, the moment you start yawning and your eyelids start drooping. You try to get in a comfortable position, but can’t seem to find it. So, you turn over and over and over and over. Well, that’s not going to work. So, you get up to get a drink of water and check the thermostat, wondering if it’s too hot or cold in the house.

You get back to bed and adjust your pillow and blanket, hoping that will help, in getting you to sleep. So, you finally get comfortable. “Hip, Hip, Hoorah!” Finally! After a few minutes, you start to feel like you have to go to the bathroom. You think, no way am I getting up, I will just sleep it off or get up later. About half hour later, your still awake. What a surprise. Here you go again, getting up out of bed.

You hurry back to bed, thinking I can do this… You pull your covers up, get your pillow nice and comfy and close your eyes. Piece of cake. All of a sudden you hear a sound. What the heck! Someone has turned the tv on. The volume is loud enough to shake the walls. You yell, can you please turn down the tv! As you try to go back to sleep, you can still hear the tv. You try your best to drown out all noises.

Two hours later, you’re looking at the clock… Your still awake! You toss and turn, then you turn over your pillow. You close your eyes, while thinking of what mom use to say, about counting sheep. Hey, what have you got to lose…

Here goes… 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9…… Zzzzzzzzzz
