reluctant sleep

I'll close my eyes and wake up
to a different world-
a world where my
favorite coffee bar is open;
where my favorite brother is gone;
where my heart is
anywhere but here.
-dreams of possibilities are
sweet,
but they are just that-dreams-

you have to wake up eventually

I'd almost rather be an
insomniac than to
dream of you
only to
wake up without.
OR,
I could look at it this way:
I can sleep and be with you,
or be awake, with you far away,
unaware.
~
lead fills my soul as
piano plinks mingle with guitar chords,
lullin my heart to
expectant, hopeful sleep
-see you soon-
