Hi,
My girlfriend, May, has recently started posting the plethora of Short Stories (http://bindingwithbriars.co.uk/blog/category/shortstories/), and poetry (http://bindingwithbriars.co.uk/blog/category/poetry/) she writes on her blog, Binding with briars (http://bindingwithbriars.co.uk/blog/).
Her most recent poem is Sonnet to the Sleepless (http://bindingwithbriars.co.uk/blog/category/poetry/):
Elusive sleep bestows shimmering kisses
Smoothing willing eyes with her benign
Temptation. Submit, she bids. Abide, she wishes
Repose in Lethe, shroud of forgetful divine.
Hand in gentle hand, she winds her labyrinth
Around the cruel enigmas of your soul.
The spectral cocoon of this drowsy nymph
Brushing invisible rainbow, paints you whole.
But you lie heedless of her gossamer call
A wonderer, wandering darkly through
A fractured conscious, obscure mirrored hall;
Mysterious, worldless, slumberless you.
Clawing at the bleeding dark, wall of words at your head
Velvet tears, light crawls in, illumines numb and weary dread.
