Awakened and sweating

Unable to shake

The demon ravens

From my minds

Canopy they roost

Hiding in dreams

Which linger like

The bitter taste

Of some pill

I am reminded

That my dreams

Can break through

My slumber like

Thieves’s flashlights searching

For my sanity

Finding they crush

Rip and steal

Leaving me empty

Hollow and weeping

Until I turn

And remember you

My one reality

Bringing me back

To my world

Once again safe

Unable to sleep

Watching you breathe

Slowing my heart

To beat yours

Peace at last

Comes to me

My one anchor

Amidst stormy seas

Mooring me you

In safe harbor
