insomnia and jolts of energy



















© Copyright Miss Carly Marie 2008-2012


the quiet knight who couldn't sleep
for leah

zebra's blacks and zebra's whites
either way, they're lonely stripes
awareness undermines the feeling
that is vain and vain is stealing

crickets cuddle up to me
beside my bed in circuitry
reading books to get lost
my heart is turning into frost

dogs who have cysts removed
points taken and points proved
everything hush in conversation
silence can be degradation

puddles cozying into the sea
a crisp autumn gown inside of me
a few pounds to shed and surely, yes
maybe i could wear that dress

to be seen and to be desired
like all little ladies who get hired
a useless job, still room to think
a quiet life, red wine to drink

a quilt distracts while it warms
i'm misinformed of social norms
get to, got to, get out soon
my oh my, i married the moon

black is dark and dark can't reach
white behind a fenceless beach
patterns are prisons to be cherished
zebra, darling, don't be embarrassed
