awake (Remove filter)

insomnia

im practically a vampire

i sleep all day, covering my windows, blasting my fan

and keep watch all night

my eyes waver from pillow to screen

my brain tries to figure out what it really wants.

i wonder from pinterest to instagram

from right to left

from pillow to pillow

and still can't decide if im hungry instead,

i tiptoe to the fridge

lights illuminate from grapes to ...

Awake

Over crowded buses over crowded city
Superficial wallowing i poor me self pity
Darkness pulling but I
Repellent opposite magnet am I
You pull I move reverse
Repellent magnet can not be compatible
In this case safe
Oh so safe the envy of no one although the secrecy protected in such visual disceipt
You all are too far taken
I seem odd for being awake
just be ready to awaken

Play in the Night

Play in the Night

                      --Michael Kwack

 

 

From two o’clock

When owls hoot

Up to four when cocks crow

Surely I will be kept awake,

 

To watch the secret play

Of the conscious and unconscious.

 

However, I will not see

The queer performance inside me

As a mere dream in the night.

 

If I long for better plays,

More will I wander dur...

Story of Night

So you are lost in dreams so deep whole night

And I long to hear phone's beep whole night

 

At dawn, I realised, my awakening

Though my destiny remained asleep whole night

 

I know the remedy, I know the toxin..

What to lose, and what to keep whole night

 

She might have waited for me to take her back

This is what made me to weep whole night

 

Sharafat, night is...

Late at night

Late at night you lay

Face in pillow pointed away

Tears gleam and in the reflection they glare so unyeilding

It's so late so late at night

Is it almost day

The clock ticks and tocks but doesn't move

The hours tick by endless 

It is late at night and all thoughts are awake

Laying in bed wondering what happened with fate

Remember the promises you made the promises layed to...
