In response to Eugi’s post, Moonwashed Weekly Prompt July 18, 2023 – SLUMBER
Where are you slumber
you hint and tease me nightly
You offer yourself to me
then forbid me to partake
Why do you torture me
when it is what we both desire
By day I need my eyes open
and must keep my mind sharp
Who has made you so very evil
to be a master of sleepiness
Ultimate portentous of Narcolepsy
except during the dark midnight hour
What pleasure you must derive
night after night as I walk hallways
March through bedrooms empty
of all but dogs and ghosts
How do I slay you slumber stealer
that I may lay my head down to rest
Relinquish your mighty hold tonight
so I might wake refreshed with the sun
