Restless
Sleepless
Wide awake
At this hour
Tossing
Turning
I writhe in bed
Perspire
My mind is racing
Hormonal
And yet
Somehow serene
Having given my will
Over to God
All I can do
Is wait and see
Duvet thrown asunder
I simply stare into space
Something’s shifting inside of me
Something’s taking place
How beauteous is this state?
That I find myself in?
This is what I was yearning for
To feel this way again
My heart’s been dormant
For so long
Shattered once
It needed to get strong
So I locked it away
In my treasure chest
Where it gathered dust
And cobwebs
The map I also
Buried deep
But somehow it was discovered
Along with the key
And ever so slowly
Do I now find
That what I thought was dead
Is being coaxed back to life
The current cursing through me
Has jump-started the beat
Of this battered organ
And my blood I can feel reheat
Where it once ran cold
Thus an ice maiden I became
Burning up and thawing out
Etched on my mind his name
The accidental buccaneer
Now a Prince in my ‘fairy tale’
Yet I care not if the ending is happy
I just care that love does prevail
For I never did expect
To encounter it again
Hence this old heart of mine
Was reluctantly laid to rest
And now am I in heaven
Or perhaps the afterlife
If it’s so then let me tell you
It is pure paradise
Thus would I bask here
For eternity, if I might
If not I’ll take this moment
Hence why I can’t sleep tonight.
