    Restless sleep

    Blue flashes
    Illuminate my room
    through crackling and drops
    splashing my windowsill.

    I've tossed
    Left and right now,
    Without count,
    Impatience creeps in
    as I await the haze
    from slammed rum,
    Coughing brown slime
    back to
    a empty glass.

    Truly,
    I like the storm,
    And rum acquainted
    Sweetly.

    But she bitters all,
    Spinning my brain,
    Around empty futures,
    Flashing houses
    With discussion
    On wall linings
    above oil or charcoal
    frames.
    Binding my heart,
    Enslaved false hopes
    Of one joined body,
    With awakening wails,
    Thundering a room
    Over.

    Damn you,
    Let me have
    Sleep.
    Damn you,
    Let me have
    Peace.

    As victim or actor, you'll be better recommending well-being. Quit getting drunk.
