can’t think of a better use
of my time not sleeping loose
than writing silly verses
insomnia purposes

Insomnia
I rise
and
as I pen my ledger
her sense of jasmine breaks my pledge
again to tease my brain
then tempt me back again

Poem:
Insomnia
I rise
and
as I pen my ledger
her sense of jasmine breaks my pledge
again to tease my brain
then tempt me back again

paired with artwork of a naked man huddled in the dark with a single candle casting a shadowy light
A plant behind, a tilted carpet to the front
The whole in shades of mahogany (https://www.artsy.net/artwork/brett-charles-seiler-untitled-candle)

You tease and tempt, a
Jasmine soaked insomnia,
Pledge in my ledger

I tried to #tempt and #tease
sweet #Jasmine to my bed
I #pledged my love to her
said she was ingrained in my head
she said she was an insomniac
doing #ledgers in her mind
I said you need to do something
if it helps to pass the time

I pledge you'll be safe with Junior
no first date dashes or opinion clashes
grant you his looks may not tempt
eyes of an insect
unshaven, unkempt
his odour distinct
halitosis is rank
& his old car
ain't up to par
he starts it with a crank

My #insomnia & me
are together for so long know,
I know that I can trust her when she's gone
for a few days. She will always come
back to me & we will spend
the night together, until
the #crimson clouds come up

I’ll pen you a bitter ode,
to leave you gasping in decay,
I’ll pledge all my living days
to vengeance on your soul,
or maybe, maybe I’ll do nothing
you just never know

I've never seen the moon
this shade of jasmine hue
as it's once soothing light
struggles to penetrate
the radioactive #ash cloud
suffocating life on Earth

Soon darkness of the night
will totally obliterate all sight
but we'll be too extinct
to notice anymore

A ledger should be a pledge not a tease. But when you think you’re too smart, they’ll never know is when you fall down the temptation rabbit hole. Co-workers become suspiciously nice, offering jasmine tea, rice cakes, solicitations. Insomnia becomes the curse and you fold. #inkMine #Writingprompts

'Pledge to help yourself,'
says the figure.
Somewhere in your insomnia,
you know you've pledged this
before - not in so many words.
But without ceremony,
without the scent of jasmine
to sparkle up a simple knot.
'Thoughts,' says the figure,
'clash with purpose.'

I only want to swim with stars.
Project me out there beyond Mars!
#Tempt me with a soft caress.
Ignite my photon-woven dress.
Wrap me in the milky way,
and let me dream the night away.

For all you pledge
you give nothing
For all you say
your words
have no meaning
For all you do
people judge you
and you can never
get away

I've never seen the moon
been 2 yrs, maybe 3
he locked me in a dungeon
no satellite TV
tempted me with charm
flicked his ash & grabbed my arm
he said, you're my Sweet Pea
& I'm your lovin' hunk
2nd date he roofied me & shoved me in a trunk

be #smooth,
know your #station,
pass the #earring
to the cloaked man,
spying is the password
to the myth of security;

don’t end up on a #ledger,
don’t end up
on a shelf

Luscious Lola always comes
with a loose label attached
on her wrap around dress
that reads
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED

She's a free spirited #libertine
who once was just
a flirty tease
til she realized
how easy it is to please
the hungry boys who will pay
for her sultry services

Don't #tease me with
colourful make-up, fancy
lingerie or alluring looks.
Woo me with your charm &
wit, #tempt me with your
sense of humour & seduce
me with a melody.

But don't put too much
effort or hope into it -
I am not a #libertine,
I am already spoken for.
