More Is Less Sleep

More Is Less Sleep

What ridiculous game is this?
Trying to decipher
from a board of thought
that spans over
happy death valley,
where all the wrong answers
have been plucked
through an in and out night.
It's always the same riddle
reworded, repeated~configured
to confusion's hypothesis,
a disabled mind
will endlessly attempt to solve
what's considered
self madness.......
or simply midnight torture.
Why can't it be
just an abyss?
Going fourth
towards an awaking
remembered nothing,
with a shrug and a routine
stepping further from a lie
right into
the unprecedented truth.

VERY compelling piece DEVON!!.....this subject matter has been at the forefront of my metaphysical endeavors for years now.....I've even written one of my best songs (called DREAMPHASE) on this direction where dreams are concerned......So, for me, this was a particularly compelling write......some stunners in here bro....." a disabled mind..".....forever attempting to solve what's considered "Self Madness" ~ LOVE that!!......sends the query into overdrive.......but it was the poetic sensibility of this write that I found most stellar.....someday brother poet!!.....perhaps we could meet during an astral projection (smiles)......PINNED!!.....smokn' grooves my friend!!.......T xo ?✳✴☀

Awesome T.....I was hoping you read this one. Would love to hear your song dream phase some time that sounds interesting. This write really took me by surprise and feels wrike it was writren in a different plane, and another I think pinnacle point of my evolving strides for versatile difference.....sorry not trying to sound conceded or full of myself just proud and passionate on this one lol. Until the souls ascend my friend.....and maybe sooner. Thanks big bro peace.

My Dear Brother Poet Devon,

I chose to be a somnambulist 
To think and eschew sleep
An hour here, an hour there
Is all that I will keep

The rest I spend on riddles solved
I seek the answers which are true
For I've been lied to many decades now
But veracity, I now persue

Peace and Love,
Larry xxx

Larry........that pause is me clapping. Well done brother. If that isn't a response that cuts deep to the line of truth....beautifully done. I love the word choices used and truthfully had to look a few of them up, I did not have a clue what at first a somnambulist was but it works and puts so much more depth into the write with just that first line. Thanks my fellow brother poet....I immensely enjoy your poetic comments. Peace.
