It is a bad time to be awake -
I see things I do not wish to see.
I have feelings I do not wish to feel.
If I could return to sleep, the deception
Of sweet slumber would assure that even a
Nightmare might offer an escape, escape from
An awakening cold, black dream where sights and
Feelings burn deep into a fragile soul a garish branding
That strikes terror for an eternity of restless days and nights.
Melatonin?
Your words are gorgeous albeit disconcerting, my Dear CoCo! I ope this was more inspiration than update.
Love,
Baba.
Oh, no, Dearest Baba of the Eternal Yaga!
I am up all hours of the night, rejoicing as Muse and I imbibe of coffee and share our innermost, precious thoughts . . .
Love,
CoCo de la Nuit Douce
No need to explain, perhaps, but the thought here is that a dreamer's nightmare may very well be the lesser of two evils when faced with the reality of an interminable living hell.
Yet, I am happy.

re, night terrors
Blood dripping from steel claws
Makes tracks in my memory;
Indelible ink for the soul.
The helmet of death draws closer.
So glad to hear it, CoCo! I hoped so.
Sheesh, Talesin! Beautiful and terrifying! Alas, I am no stranger to night-terrors... (nor insomnia, I'm afraid.)
Exquisitely incisive and penetrating, dear Tal!
Thank you so much!!!
CoCo de la Peur
Ambien also helps.
It's hard to choose sometimes, eh? Insomnia is not very nice. Glad you liked it, Baba Yaga.
Thank you, CoCo de le Brave!
