4 A.M. – POEM

4 A.M.

It’s 4am,

without the metronome of times hands,

Silent, light emitting diodes spit red, and my brains still wired,

So many thoughts, racing behind my eyelids,

A conscious knightmare, hoofprints gouging into the soft flesh of my psyche,

When will the race end?

A chaotic blend of memories and fresh ideas,

All furiously trying to get through a bottleneck,

Slowly my brain will digest them one at a time,

Intestinal thoughts, nourishing my mental state while under the guise of insomnia,

Raiding dreams, stealing shut eye,

Till no sleepy dust gathers around my bloodshot whites in the morning,

But the below offers a darkened patch,

Where lack of sleep is given away.

I'm from Scotland, where everyone owns a castle and pisses whisky. Some of the preceding sentence may contain factual errors. I've been writing and reading for a long old time. I'm now trying to get into the published material side of things. I'm building up a bank of short story material and finding my legs in the long story side of things.. Hold on..I need shortbread..that's better..now where was I? Like all good writers I have written a vast amount of stuff and like children's school meals large portions of it remain unfinished. I write about all sorts, largely drawing my inspiration from real life events, futuristic musings and the dark recess of my mind. I say recess, it's the only recess, it's got to hold everything. Enjoy the blog once it's up and running with material and please feel free to link me and share your work. TWITTER: @FionnGrant
