Sleepless Veils

Contributed by boon-i on Monday, 7th September 2009 @ 05:20:43 PM in AEST
Topic: insomniac

When sleepless veils take their toll refined cloth
is no match. Strange tales, best unknown, bond
quick with blue moods; Soothing the need for
this vengeful age; Breaking old vows before dawn.

The creek of floorboards now block out sounds.
Enough to mourn for pervasive towns
to be blacked out when lights creep past
their leaking shore; Scores of windows bore their shouts.

The mind lacks quick wit. Sickly jarrings leave
at the sign of night. Try again, the plight should not last.
But the sun has spiteful eyes; Amber light is soon cast;
Signing off this shift with the starry reef. Hearts sink.

Where bleeds the sinking weight? Plunged beyond the depths,
out of time, in this, the wearied day.
With no owls prowling; And barns tearful.
Blistered Scottish ink purged of restful sleep.

To beat the advancing loss of time
the hours then tracked back, listing their crimes
in ordered fashion. They meekly
said retreat, backtracked, and left the atlas blind.

Through no fault sweet beasts; Priestly, preening trees
have moved minds, enticed kindness. Scented vines having passed
from the mundane stifled iris to nightly compass;
Miming the needs we seek after dark; Sleep, sleep, sleep.

This is very reminiscent of my own style of poetry. The use of enjambment and repetition is uncanny. So I suppose I can appreciate this more than most. I thought it was an excellent poem; keep up the good work.
