Wicked
No rest for the wicked,
and no rest for the weary.
My eyes become slickened,
dreaming of the dreary.
You’re an idol, dearest lover,
promising tranquility.
Love in thee, I have discovered,
is paired with fragility.
Close my eyes to clear away
the noxious thoughts clouding my mind,
Though I would wish that I could stay,
I fear, I must leave thee behind.
Overwhelmed by serenity,
My sleepless nights, they come no more.
In the lack of your terrenity,
harmonious dreams, then are restored.
