Naked Heart.
Come drug of sleep,
drop, heavy cloak of woolly mind that dulls clear thought.
Hold me tightly.
Drowse my downbeat mind,
change to calm the restless weight of reliving the former.
Come chains of stupor,
let mood taste freedom from knowing our love cannot be.
Night swallow me.
Keep me from waking
and may un-distressful nothingness become my activity.
Come thickest gloom
Dissimulate and clothe my naked heart from further light.
Close my tired eyes,
let sight view no more duo's demise as sleep holds sway.
Silence take me.

Erm, goodnight there Fay! heehee.
ANGELA HERE (9pm Thursday !} GOOD MORNING FAY ~ thanks for sharing ! This is my interpretation ! I knew lots of NUNS I was raised as a Catholic ! In my mind they had a sweet & peaceful life. The Younger ones were very beautiful but had chosen to be perpetual Virgins & Brides of Christ ! I would love to be a NUN but only for a few weeks like Whoopie Goldberg in Sister Act to lick the Choir into Shape ! Love the Structure & Subject of your very elegant Poem ! Thnaks for checking WOODLAND SOUNDS !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Beautiful words Fay! Really loved this poem.
I am thrilled that you found the read enjoyable dear Christina - I had hope the addition of lots of ssssss's would give the idea of sleepy appeal.
You are so amazingly good at being you, thank you for every thought you share and create in my view!
A picture never dull, like the light inside you.
Yes, Unsub is spot-on about your first verse.... you show my inner thoughts when my head hits the pillow.
Still plagued with daytime slumbers from my drug regieme I'm often more hopeful than successful at night though.
I'm thinking these words must be similar to your own bedtime mantra, and a successful one too, for we, your readers, know you are fully awake each pre-dawn to poetically enchant us with your enquiring observations of natures day awakening.
You do have a way with words, Fay. Beautiful opening and I also like that last line very much.
Beautiful write Fay, like Unsub and others I think that first line is wonderful. May your nights asleep be always thus, I m sure mine will be when I read this poem before bed tonight.
Andy.
