Sleepwalk.

First step

I'm touching consciousness
As deep sleep meets stumbling feet

Dreaming with closed eyes
Yet perceiving with fingertips
Nourished by our synchronized laughter

You accept my advances
In exchange for my half-lidded embarrassment
Entranced by our broken lullaby

Second step

Hits my surface like lightning
With the tingle of our potential
Penetrating my rod bones

Trip

Back into bed
Static clings to my clothes
Sheets tangled in intricate designs
Begging for something more

Rise

Determined to have you
Catching up to the steps I want to take
Walking turns into flying
Without the dream world
Feeling the air swept up in my skin
The cool turns into warmth
A front I'll never forget
Under you
My back bounces against the surface

I wake
With outstretched fingers and numb toes
Following wishes hardly obtained

Might as well go back to sleep...

Wakin' up at 4 am 'cause lately sleep ain't been my friend...

Whew! What a week being absent from blogging! Some of the end of the year work pile is done, classes are over, and I have a potential summer boo!

The only thing that may be killing me is this deep sleep headache...

I feel deprived considering I haven't written a poem in what seems like ages. Most likely I'll flush one out today.

I guess I'll entertain myself with an end of semester to-do list:

-320 paper
-314 paper
-study for exams
-clean room
-attend conference
-don't be too lazy
-call auntie
-call grandparents
-call old boss (I will be back in the workforce a day after I leave. Trust.)
-pay PC dues
-have fun on campus while I still can

That's pretty much it. I should be touching down again soon.

In the meantime, if you haven't added me on twitter yet, then...shame on you!

Maybe you'll see the boo up there... ;)

Good morning loves.

Bonus: Tired Haikus.

Confusion sets in
Overwhelmed with each demand
Time for excess sleep.

***

Heavy eyes hold truth
In a struggling chokehold yet
Sleep controls it all.

Overslept. (16/30)

Stifling snores

Waking up to too much sunlight

Too many voices tapping at my window

Clock readings

Shock me out of bed

Frantically stabbing eject buttons

To escape from half-sleep

Flinging clothes at limbs

(Any will do)

Because I'm out of mercy checks

No mirror checks

Corners of eyes and mouth

Caked with laziness

Falling out the door

Forced to powerwalk on cemented legs

Paralyzed in dream analysis

Running into a fellow latecomer

We exchange 20-second stories

In the elevator

Laughing off the stress

Before falling silent

Entering class

Pupils soak us in like the excess sunlight

Dripping hot messes

Into our seats

And the daze begins.

Good Night. (10/30)

Tired eyes take a toll
Fatigue freeing the dream world
Good night to you all.
