Nighttime and the air is chill.
Feeling a bit deadish and mostly worse for wear I feel like I should retire to the effulgence caresses of my darling bed, one that starts as crisp cool ignorance but slowly warms to my heat and soon it's molten magma.
One has to woo their bedsides and blankets into obedience. Sigh.
The hardest part of course is the morning when you have to leave the heated receptacle of your lovers embrace that is your super warm sarcophagus that you've enkindled all night.
Weird things happen when I've to wake myself from a place that's so dark and delicious and gnawing at my consciousness into a syrupy depth of sleepy paralyses.
It's like I'm knocked out cold and have to pass my body through a wormhole to wake up.
I try to pry my eyes open, but the more I try the more insensate I feel. And that's when I panic.
Like that movie autopsy, where unsuspecting victims are rendered paralyzed by administering some fantastical muscle relaxant rendering them vegetative, almost comatose on the outside while they're fully awake and totally alive on the inside, feeling unbearable agony, pained into misery infinite, and witnessing themselves being autopsied/mutilated unable to even blink.
Something like that happens to me minus the mutilation.
I try to wake up, open my eyes, utter a word but all I can do is feel helpless at knowing that I can't as much as even hold up my arm. It's so dark in there and I try to pull myself up and it feels like I'm being pushed in to sink. But it feels sweet and the sleep is kind of welcome but it does scare me, a lot.
My brain knows what I want, even if a little drowsy but my body doesn't react to its wishes.
It's a bit panicky. Sometimes I think of screaming and inside I think I am except on the outside I just look like I'm sleeping.
This lasts not more than a mere few seconds that are nothing short of an eternity and I know it's just me trying to wake up suddenly when I'm In deep deep sleep.
Also a usual occurrence when I have woken up and still will myself to sleep a few more winks and then forcibly try to wake up.
I'll think more on this and update.
Until then.. nighty night.
