sleeping through the night

by antwan fields - Aries

five A.M and they're still dancing 
but i don't care because im not dancing 
im sleeping with a smile upon my face 
i stare for hours at the inside of my eyelids, not caring about noise or wind or whatever hits my face
and i dream of love 
running through the meadow with my one true love 
my boys might be heading off with their lovers 
but im home 
sleeping through the night 
trying not to snore
fighting the inevitable awakining 
no escape from the end of r.e.m
and sleep is too natural on this friday
i am sleeping to be sleeping 
there is no end to what i will do to keep under
i do not want to wake up
no insomnia tonight 
ill just sleep 
no staring at a wall until my eyes cross
ill just sleep throughout the night

Reason for writing:

    as you can guess, the pleasure i get from sleeping inspired this poem
