Oh night , I love the twinkling darkness
The luminous black abyss lifts me up
Intransigent I am , with the insomnia.
A soul , leery of sleepless night
A bed , lay virgin without a spot
A pillow , pining to be touched .
Finding Epicurean comfort
Night be my betrothed lover
I choose to consort with thee.

This is an amazing perception of insomnia! I suffer myself and could really relate. I’ve tried to find the good in insomnia and wrote a post I feel you could really relate to. Feel free to give it a quick read,

You have really given a picture of insomnia. I like ‘a pillow, pining to be touched’ I think even pillows find insomnia difficult.
