WHEN I SLEEP

WHEN I SLEEP

These little buggers

Always come to me at night

When I sleep are worse

At my weakest point when

I am day dream

I dream that they take me as I sleep

Knowing full well

That I am dreaming of good thoughts

There they pop

Just waiting for me to get deeply asleep

Must times I throw they off

Then sometimes they are so quick

Like a theft in the night they creep

Little buggers know what I like

But I try hard not to dream

A dream that will never come true

But my little friends comes to please

With out warning

And there I am enjoying the fun

Willingly can’t wake up

Are don’t want too

Then there’s this bump

I’m awake

Dam m you got me that time

But never again

I am on to you now

And I’ll be on the look out

When you jump

So will I

    This happens to me also, Bettie. I will jerk awake in the middle of a dream and the last thing I remember at the edge of the dream and awake is a loud thump. I will listen in the quietness for another thump (in case it was a knock on the door).

    The only thump I hear…is my heart beat telling me I am still alive…those damn gremlins in my dreams are laughing…they know I will be back in their world in a matter of minutes… 😈

    Nice poem Bettie :love:
