We are a group that welcomes all people suffering from insomnia for any reason, including night-time inspiration bursts.
Many of us get the creative juices flowing when the clock passes 1:00 AM.

Are you one of us? Then join!

The art uploaded here, is of any genre, any medium, but made at night!
If you find yourself in trouble by parents, roomies, neighbours, you can ask advice to the dear members of this group!

Main Entry: in·som·nia

- Pronunciation: \in-ˈsäm-nē-ə\
- Function: noun
- Etymology: Latin, from insomnis sleepless, from in- + somnus sleep — more at somnolent
- Date: circa 1623
- prolonged and usually abnormal inability to obtain adequate sleep

This a disorder which has many people in it's grasp. For some artists, inspiration would only come in the night.
And for those people this group exists.

We are not here to encourage insomnia, but to show what it can do, and discuss solutions and possable cures. Feel free to join if you have the same problem!

Vagrant SlabsWe are pieces, jam-packed in an illusion
Shape shifting through the empty voyage of time
To the vagrant slabs, caught up in their own being
Carry on in your aimless stride

Who will shuffle into desolation first?
Crowding the overpasses
As roads bustle with chaos
As thoughts stray and clash
Behind the rumbles of desperation

Some pegs fall in
Others displace
Yet some remain still
Consuming it all in horror

And so we shift endlessly
Answering only to the mighty wisp
The chill that drags both the vagrant and the still
Into the frozen embrace of eternityVagrant Slabs by ~Loftydreams101

Little FragmentsWould you like to know, how fragments feel

It's hard to tell really, when so many different emotions,

are reflecting back at you

You wont find them in the air, sea, nor in me
you will find them on the ground

They belong there, in soil
where grass will grow, and men builds over

No archaeologist will assemble me correctly
No artist can capture my style
No amount of adhesive will hold these as one piece

I live only to breath into struggling lungs
and maybe if those would be in my blood, bone and soul

They too could understand.

Maybe, if each finds a piece of me and comes together
there will be too much to break, to hard to crack that icLittle Fragments by *Ellen-Souler

Atlantis - short storyATLANTIS

I am seated on the bottom of the ocean just off the border of Spain, with less than five minutes left of oxygen in the bulky tank on my back, it beeped in alarm to surface. It was beautiful; I've finally discovered it- and it was amazing! It shone so brightly, a hazel color just like my wife's eyes, an underwater, undiscovered palace, no longer the mystery it had once been.

Nearing the dense, brown seaweed closer and closer; the most beautiful humming penetrated my ears. So it seems that my last minutes would be spent in this abundant, exultant, palace of marble. I swam, in the center of two concrete tall concrete pillars; my eyesAtlantis - short story by ~Asterisk-Narwhal

FossilizedLiving proof of fossils alive,
and no horseshoe-crab am I.

Nor, inhabitable harsh compression of plates,
residing under humid marsh-scapes.

I mold into the walls, as chalky old coal.
But I am no mineral, no era.
I am not, Mesozoic.

Through the ages
Iron
Bronze
silver, gold and heroic.

I remain a still-life; and no Iduna's apples would retain my youth
No magic fountains, or time devices, or wrist watches.
I am the machine of time.
The watcher, omnipotent, the wise.

But

no God am I

Somewhere, sweet tangy sap trolleys down cracked bark.
Somewhere, celestial bodies erupt unseen.
Somewhere, a abrupt breeze blows overturned bi-cycle tireFossilized by *Ellen-Souler

passion is a sinA faith-healer
A sermon
A misunderstanding

A bastard child--no father, no son, no holy spirit

No virgin mother
just passion as a god
lets the writers get it wrongpassion is a sin by ~tubefed

A Stranger'I would promise you until always ends, but I want to live forever.'

cyanide poems
dripped off his thin lips.
wreathing water-ink.
something like saliva
and coughed-up calligraphy.

up-turned cheekbones:
a smile
dancing to the surface:
a parody of laughter--
pallid and festering.

'you're a stranger, so why should i care.'

albatross hands.
dragged out;
crashing again.

'you'll vanish today,'

fingers chilled
to sticks of flesh and bone.

'not for the first time, i hear--or the last.'

face floating:
a harsh white sky.

spume and spray
spread out
like a too-taunt sheet.

surrender reaching:
frozen
and
languid.

PleaseI'm bashing on your door
The lights are on
I know you're in there
Why won't you open up to me?

Please, I just want to help

I know it's cold outside
You're worried that if you come out
You'll get frostbite
But I'm there to loan you my coat

So please, I just want to help

You've been hurt to many times
You're hiding in your fortress of cynicism and sarcasm
But I can see you through the window
I can see the real you

Please, I won't judge for being who you really arePlease by ~HystericalNapoleon

InsomniaDrip. Drip.
Taps left not quite turned off in the distance, the faint hum of a computer, the gentle ticking of a clock.
Eyes wide.
I stare straight ahead without blinking.
You exhale, plumes of thick smoke filling the room and clogging my throat like petrol.
"Coffee?" You grunt, pushing the mug into my hand.
It's all routine. Same thing, every night. Never asleep, but never quite awake...
I take a sip and it burns my tongue.
Too soon.
And we wait.Insomnia by =XXAnemia

Venus over my Shoulder by *PsychoNeko08

Erinel by *Crida

No Future For UsMy tears don’t fall anymore
Even if you hurt me more and more
I’m just a shell, an empty core
Like a dead fish lying on the shore

I’m not gonna cry whatever you’ll do
If my heart breaks again, I know it’s you
There is no chemistry between me and you
Though there is so much we could still undo

Why do you hit me at the same time you say you love me?
This is not real love, I want to break free
There is no future for us that I could see
But you won’t let go and repeat the word “we”
(There is no we x2) No Future For Us by ~iannana
