[hometext] => I chose to change the rhyme and verse structure halfway through the poem to make it read quicker as day replaces night. Hope this worked for the reader. Please comment.
[bodytext] => Sleepless in Love Sleep, the necessary evil so hard to attain. Time, the ever present monster lumbers on. I’ve tried to rest but now listen to the rain, No hope for rest that chance has gone. I think instead of her, my love And at that point a cry above Sleepless too my faithful owl? Upon your wise old face a scowl, As I wrest with matters deep That interrupt my chance to sleep I bid you, join me for a while And put upon my face a smile As I stare upon your eye, That glows so bright like evil fire For mice and rats a funeral pyre. What are you thinking O my dear? I trust slumber now and not a fear Holds you to its bosom tight, For it is only justly right That you should lie without a care. Come all you demons come I dare You touch this beauty at your cost I guard her now so mark, beware. Deep colours, hues arise on far That heralds morn our rising star Which stirs to take its rightful place And dominate our morning sky. My final thought as time flies by Is why I’m blessed by God above To hold your cherished, precious love. Deep within my sleepless breast Peace my love, I bid you, rest. .
