Sleep escapes

tormented

evil knocking

at the door.

 

A spirit world

swirls around

looking for a place

to grab hold.

 

A beacon

in the night

Energy finds like energy

like a moth

finds the light

 

Sleep tonight

my love

I will lay waiting.

a lightning rod

to your storm.

Sue this this poem shows so much love. It reveals how protective you feel.
The overall picture that you create is very interesting and very dramatic. Well done.
