Drowsiness
Inflicting gentle pain
A bane for thoughts
Attaining naught but fallacy
Layered upon reality
Melting away the mind and clarity
-
Colourful lines featured on the canvas
Seen through shaky slits
Melding into beautiful galaxies
Swirling whimsically
Hypnotically
Deceptively
With the blackhole centred provocatively
Beckoning...
Like a beautiful maiden laying upon a cloud
-
A pound of rock or a pound of feathers
Which will it be that the head will tether
A mighty brawl with lids and pressures
Useless thoughts of weights and measures
Float around the brain like terrors
Threads...
Pressing you down to a land of rest
A land of pleasure...
A land of beds.

Incredible work.
I would have enjoyed this at any time, but I think I especially love that last verse because I am sooo sleepy right now! Well done 👌
