Time stands still

Tick..tick..tick

time stands still

my life slow's down to nothing

hands of the clock go slowly around

each second an eternity

a eternity of endless ticking

life trapped in this distorted time

my surroundings become hyper real

alertness set on high at the slightest noise and movement

dozens of hours no sleep

Tick….Tick…….Tick

reality of time eradicated

as the seconds, minutes, hours tick by

a grain of sand in the hourglass of sleep

never to fall to the bottom of the glass

stuck in this warped image of Father time

sprinkling sleep dust over me

yet still am awake and alert

Insomniac nightmare

a world without sleep

[Martin Reed]

I really like this poem – thanks for sharing. It really gets across the frustration of insomnia and the boredom of doing nothing, waiting for sleep to come. Have you written anything else?
