Insomnia and painting

I am painting millions paintings in my brain

I don't sleep. I can't sleep.

As a substitute for a sleep I imagine that I paint and

Indeed I am painting millions paintings in my brain.

My brain creates millions images and impressions in my memory

My memory is trying to remember my dreams and my visions.

My hands are drawing the encoded scraps of the past reality in my sleepless grey matter -

the wonderful past reality of those nights when I had been painting millions paintings in my brain.

I want to go to bed and sleep but I can't sleep when I am in bed. My brain hurts me.

My eyes want to turn off my brain, my mind hurts me, dreams, dream i want to dream you.

Please my brain, please let me go asleep and let me dream the dream that I am painting millions paintings in my brain.
