Dread Of Sleep

I have touched a soul hurting
that leaves an ache somewhere
in blatant protest.

Wish you could feel that touch
that could heal,
could soothe

those infinite moments
of raging bitterness,

unnamed fears
and plaguing demons

surpassing the pain
warring between despair
and defeat,

shades of darkness
wooing the dread
of sleep,

overcoming this tortured
suppressed agony.

Hope you feel that lap
silencing the noises within

that lulls you
in contented sleep

hugging fiercely the fact
yes, you are safe
you are....
