i really loved this, there is a real intimacy that comes over and i identified with the making tea and whether to wake him scenario.

I liked this too.
It felt like it might be two poems though, I thought.
If someone asked me for my opinion, which they haven't, I'd start the second poem at:
I think you’re trying to sleep.
I ask you if you are, and you raise
an eyebrow, smile and close your eyes.
I contemplate making tea.
I like the self-destructive cycles of thought. The repetition works well.
Cheers,

Thats nice, but strangely by the end I am associating with the man who wants to sleep. In life there are the 'wakers' and the 'sleepers'. I personally am a waker in the morning and a sleeper at night. My GF is definitly a waker at night and a sleeper in the morning. We are still working through how this works. ;)
Personally I don't think it needs to be prose. If anything I think it could be shorter. I would like it to focus more on the change in mood.
Keep it up.
Wow, thank you all for your comments. It's made my day. I am still quite new to abc tales and i haven't really figured out the discussion boards yet. This is my first comment, if it goes well, i am sure it will be the first of many
good day to you all
