I Sleep On So Many Tears Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

I Sleep On So Many Tears



There are so many tears on my pillow
Drowning my head with their sorrow
Sucking the warmth out of my dreams
Suffocating my unconscious mind
With their bucket full of sadness
My eyes ruined by the knives in my tears
My heart shattered by this recurring nightmare
My days punctured by the gloomy memory of my dreams

I sleep on the roof of life
My head soaking in my tears
The pillow of my life destroyed
By the painful stings from my dreams
Pummeling my head with sorrow
The bloody nightmares unbearable
Choking my precious sleep
Robbing me of my much needed rest

I sleep on so many tears
Dark clouds of sorrow hanging over my head
The story of my life heavily soaked
By the bucket full of tears
That rains from my eyes
The memory of my life ruined
By the multiple stings from my dreams
With their venomous fangs
Bringing sorrow to my life
