overnight insomnia
plague of sleepless-ness
brain cells die
electrons fly
into my eye
and i cry

play the games and bang the rock
obsessions of soul
music roars
blood and gore
cannot ignore
i want more

tiresome crack of elbow mine
stretching to the sky
shiver cold
arms en-fold
my tale told
i grow old

gentle touch by fur of cat
caress so sleek and smooth
throbbing purr
soft warm fur
no longer brrr
i love her
