Unsober Retreat

Tis warm darkness
enveloping my being.
Once again, I found
solace in this lonely abode.
For weeks & months I escaped
this place's tentacles
of temptation.
Now, I succumbed to
its promising dreams &
sleepless nights.
The hours tick by,
as I sit still;
Astounded everytime the
sounds of knocking -- I hear.
Hope it's wisdom at my door.
Wish it's calm sleep scampering
on my floor. But
it's only insomnia in my bed.
Beads of sweat trickling
on my forehead,
As revelation unfolds
itself to me.
Secrets of life unveiled.
I see. I see. I see.
