Insomnia

I cannot
Fall asleep,
Who can teach me
To stop time?
Please give me
A sign
The minutes are ticking
So quickly
But I still cannot
Fall asleep,

I cannot sail away
On a frigate of my fantasies,
I cannot stay
By the shores of my illusions,
I can not extinguish
Lanterns
My thoughts are like
Pedestrians
Walking in darkness
Without rules

Can you help me?
My solo friend
Will you sing me?
A song
To attract
Morpheus ?
Do not be afraid,
Be an angel to me
I will not dare
To offend you,
I'm quiet when
I cannot fall asleep

Exactly at midnight
a drummer begins
Wound up.
He jumps
Down and up
Hitting my sleepless brain

I cannot fall asleep.
Here you are my sweet Ankou
In white clothes
I’ve stolen
Your years
And
Left you only my tears
And youth

I still cannot fall asleep...

Hi Salamuna, Thank you for your comment. I have read all your posted poems. There is only one word that I can think of that links them …… ''Sadness'' However they are well constructed and I find myself wanting to comfort you. Am I mistaken to feel that?
I look forward to your next posting.
Have a good day.

Hi LuvRoma. Thanks for reading my poems. Yes you are right. the main word describing my poems is Sadness. But I'm getting slowly out of this. unfortunately all my poems are inspired by the emotions of sadness. At the moment when I am calm or happy, I am not able to write anything. That"s how it works. All the best for you. Im also following your poetry :-)
