Sleepwriter

The hours are all ticking
And my contacts are unsticking
From my eyeballs. Let me go!
I'm half asleep already
And my feet aren't quite so steady
But these words just have to go.
From me they're overflowing
And I have no way of knowing
If they'll ever let me go.

The last two lines of this just blow me away. Very powerful. Wonderful to read your poetry. Thanks for sharing it - Frances
