CREATING THE JOKER (#16)   Author:  18330  Category:(Poetry) Created:(3/28/2001 10:34:00 PM) This post has been Viewed (175 times) From a distance my eyes can see Anything they wish to see Because of wishful thinking So when sleep deprived In darkness I lie Unconsciously just searching Over yonder window shine From a light source I can't find Peeking sly through the curtain The Joker wanting in Showing off a grin He's been out all night simply lurkin' What is it you want from me You know that I'm sleepy Have you instead brought me news I can't think right So late in the night Have you come just to amuse The Joker tapped twice Then slid though like ice And held his hands high above his head In usual attire He began to inquire And this is just what he said "You're not tired of dreams?" "You're just confused it seems" "Thinking sleep should hold them all" "Just when to or not to see" "You're still thinking of me" "And so I come to you at your call" And turning in my bed I turned to him and said I just expect that's the way it should be I fear to close my eyes Without your surprise For you are the Sleep Soother to me "Then take note my dear" "That I am always here" "For it's only you that I come to" "You invented me" "The way I must be" "So if you dream it's all because of you" -Shabetei You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or interesting stories for the world to read and respond to Click here Scroll all the way down to read replies.
