sleepless

dark descends
i surrender
and fall into
narcotic state

they come
slow initially
increasing gradually
cascading
ebbing flowing
raining
falling
rising
cacophanous
screaming!

i wake i shake
scatter them
into the blackness
i sleep

they come again
relentless
profuse
pervading
prodding
pounding!

it's no use!

up
begrudgingly
in a rage
i find a pen
and chain them
to the page

..and you never said 'demons' once. Absolutely brilliant! Poetry has to be the most satisfying way of taking all the toxic shit that builds up in the mind and nailing it to a page. Write the hell on..
