Pen and paper elude me tonight,
I sit in front of a thousand
lights in the night sky,
send a wish to the sandman
banish her demons and sleep tight.

The torn and tossed paper heart,
like you I find a smile upon a gaze.
Like you in that moment the world falls away
and again sandman I scream your name,
upon your journeys... do not see us apart

Forever and a day
the fighting end.
it is here the demons tourment
seeking perfect words,

Read the rest of the poem Show less

I will walk away

The ink could run wild,
the day could surrender to what we see.
A painted picture in old,
in a moment again
to find you merely a child.

I don't know where to start.
love me today,
leave me tomorrow.
The sandman ill call upon
ill be a little lost.

I know where to end,
love you today
leave you tomorrow.
the world turns
maybe find you again

A dream in reality,
in a moment your face I seek,
that moment the world falls away
between us sands of time
and in me simply secrecy.

"Your punctuation could do lots to improve it. read it line by line, make sure you tell the reader who the subject is, who you are wishing well to . Full stops and commas go a long way to giving the reader clues. Jimm"
