sleep the great equalizer
and mystifier we have
not danced well together
for such a long time
what have i done
to turn you away
take me in your arms and
caress me seduce me
headlong into your
wetless dark waters
to swim with the
fishes of dreams
sleep the more you ignore me
the further i slip into
this waking coma strung
up by your puppeteer
who pulls the strings
but won’t let me dance
