Manic Monday

Christina8

I have to get up very soon

Why am I still writing poetry?

Tonight the thoughts keep flowing

from that creative side of me

 

I think about life and love

and everything in between

I marvel at all the wonderful

things that I have seen

 

But deep down I 

wonder if I am manic

And gonna be up all night

"Need to sleep!", I say as I panic

 

I think of all the things

I could be doing but I need to get to bed

It's crazy how I fight sleep

and how fast ideas go through my head

        Such true words, I too have this problem sometimes. It is amazing that the way the words come to me at 3 o' clock in the morning.

                I know where you are coming from in this. For me poetry could never be a 9 - 5 job. Rather it is a thing which attacks me and demands to be passed on.

                • Christina8

                  Exactly! Thanks so much dusk, for your reply to my poem. Appreciated! Christina

                  Torrent of ideas seem to flow just at the wrong time, and if we don't adhere to them, then like me, afraid to loose them forever.
                  But when these ideas are laid to rest, so do they lay us to deep slumber as well.

                  • Christina8

                    Thanks for your reply, Suresh. Appreciated!--Christina
