The good night thread.

good night

I adjourn for the night, my neck tense and sore
It's the walk to my bed that I dread
Alone I will lumber, alone I will slumber with
no control o'er the thoughts in my head.

There is no answer to know, why I hold so much dread
When others so peacefully have lain.
I'd repel with all might, the sleep beckoning at night
And lay me down never again.

This connection to you, my Aspergian friends
is life's blood and soul's food for me
As I stay wide awake, in spite of good health's sake
My mind shall forever be free

But alas I shall heed, a command so much greater
No defence nor strong will can I train
Physically, Spiritually, Mentally and Quickly
I will proceed to shut down my brain.

... and with this... I bid you all... GOOD NIGHT!

The Hell Bound Train
anonymous

A Texas cowboy lay down on a barroom floor,
Having drunk so much he could drink no more;
So he fell asleep with a troubled brain
To dream that he rode on a hell-bound train.

The engine with murderous blood was damp
And was brilliantly lit with a brimstone lamp;
An imp, for fuel, was shoveling bones,
While the furnace rang with a thousand groans.

The boiler was filled with lager beer
And the devil himself was the engineer;
The passengers were a most motley crew-
Church member, atheist, Gentile, and Jew,

Rich men in broad cloth, beggars in rags,
Handsome young ladies, and withered old hags,
Yellow and black men, red, brown, and white,
All chained together-O God, what a sight!

While the train rushed on at an awful pace-
The sulphurous fumes scorched their hands and face;
Wider and wider the country grew,
As faster and faster the engine flew.
Louder and louder the thunder crashed
And brighter and brighter the lightning flashed;
Hotter and hotter the air became
Till the clothes were burned from each quivering frame.

And out of the distance there arose a yell,
"Ha, ha," said the devil, "we're nearing hell"
Then oh, how the passengers all shrieked with pain
And begged the devil to stop the train.
But he capered about and danced for glee,
And laughed and joked at their misery.
"My faithful friends, you have done the work
And the devil never can a payday shirk.

"You've bullied the weak, you've robbed the poor,
The starving brother you've turned from the door;
You've laid up gold where the canker rust,
And have given free vent to your beastly lust.
"You've justice scorned, and corruption sown,
And trampled the laws of nature down.
You have drunk, rioted, cheated, plundered, and lied,
And mocked at God in your hell-born pride.

"You have paid full fare, so I'll carry you through,
For it's only right you should have your due.
Why, the laborer always expects his hire,
So I'll land you safe in the lake of fire,

"Where your flesh will waste in the flames that roar,
And my imps torment you forevermore."
Then the cowboy awoke with an anguished cry,
His clothes wet with sweat and his hair standing high.

Then he prayed as he never had prayed till that hour
To be saved from his sin and the demon's power;
And his prayers and his vows were not in vain,
For he never rode the hell-bound train.

Good Night. I'm very tired. I'll probably be up, at 5 in the morning, but I don't really care. I'm taking my Cockney Spirit to bed with me, this evening.

Good night everyone, sleep tight, if you do sleep.

I may actually make it to bed before 1030pm!

so I'll write another poem for you all

Hmmm, what shall it say???

My daughter and I just finished watching MirrorMask... maybe that will inspire me! It was also about sleep and dreams... among other things.

Okay... here it goes...

Two worlds collide, at the border so thin.
One vanquished, one rising,
Lay low the light
Creep forth the night.

In one I have sense to hear, see, & feel.
The other so vivid, but yet so dull.
Enveloped by curtains,
The elements uncertain.

I have no control where my mind shall wander.
A collage of images, experiences past.
Moments rearranged,
I am seemingly deranged.

Yet, flickers of wonder, beauty, and hope.
Pleasurable visions erupt.
Hold onto these tight,
for here comes the light.

By morning a trickle of memory erased.
Dreams, light and frail, spun of gossamer.
Through my mind they sift,
Into the day I now drift.

The worlds now separate, moving apart.
No more the cloak of night upon me.
I have only this day,
Til night comes my way...


weird... I know... but that's all you get tonight from me GOODNIGHT!

Good night.

mistake

Goodnight all and to all a goodnight.

What's that supposed to mean... you never went to bed and instead stayed up doing E.V.I.L.?

Omigod, I love your avatar

I got up early today, had a lot of blood drawn out of me, went to class, made two trips to Mt. Airy, made 77 posts on here, and had a hyper spell that I just came off of.

Good night............ ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sleep tight, Social_Fantom - chalk up another successful day

Who's?




Criminy! You make ME tired!


Okay... as soon as I finish eating this 2lb container of Maple flavored Yogurt (Brown Cow with thick cream on the top , and I'm almost finished.. only took about 15minutes), and finish checking posts here... and replying to a few...

I swear! I'm gonna get to bed.
I could make it before midnight if I work hard enough at it.

Guten Nacht!

Sleepily my eyelids fall,
Dreamily I walk away,
Into my small bed I crawl,
to hide before a brand new day!

Goodnite all
