Drowning

My eyes refuse my pleading,

Don't close please,

Without sight I am lost

The mind wanders

to lands far away

Aeons ago to

when I was none,

With the universe one.

Pitch black it is,

the night consumes me.

Its dark velvet

a soft embrace,

Somewhere in this darkness

it lies,

the desire to see her,

He that was once the king of hearts

Now finds solace in the dark,

No more running,

for the red moon I must face.

Shining brightly in my face

and in my mind's eye.

Hark! the snap back to now,

a falling head jerked back up

No red, no black, only grey.

No I plead to you oh little ones,

go not dark,

let me see

let me be.....

(P.S. - I wrote this poem half awake. I was drifting in and out of sleep in class and thought if I started writing, I'd be focused enough to stay awake. Did not work. I remember writing the first 5 lines. After that its all a blur. This is what came out in my semi conscious state.)
