Tired

Do you ever feel
So—Tired—
that your eyes could close
and you linger upon the same thought
for a moment too long
Then you're suddenly fast asleep;

your mind works overtime 
to juggle the daily happenings,
with a soothing buzz in the background
behind your train of thought,
a lovely image
of a cup of cocoa,
curling up on a couch,
letting Dreams take you 
somewhere else for awhile.

I think I'll lay my pen down now
and let these words melt into
imagination,
taking me far beyond my room,
the spice-scented pines,
the rolling green hills
and rocky shores on the coast,
and leave behind the worries of today,
and leaving Tomorrow to its course;

My eyes are closed, yet
now I see all the world
in a million undiscovered colors.

Let me dream awhile, if you please.
Let Tomorrow wake me up
after a good night's sleep!

    You said you would give me
    Anything
    to see me smile,

    And of all the things 
    you could give,
    you chose
    Insanity.

    I'm crazy for you,
    tripping over my own words
    as my heart twists itself

    Amber eyes
    meet deep, stunning brown

    I’ve never noticed
    Amber
    looked like
    crackling embers
    falling down

    like rich, warm honey
    falling through the cracks;
    autumn leaves
