Procrastination

I've so many things to do
That I'm writing a long list.
The tasks are many, some dull,
But none are to be missed.

So what do I do?
Grab colours and highlight,
Play with pens and stare
Longingly at the moonlight.

I tap at the keys,
But it's not work.
I'm looking for something
Pretending it's 'research'.

But my mind is numb,
My brain is idle.
I should power off
Though my eyes are wider.

I'm just staring now;
Pupils bulbous and huge.
I'm not focused on anything
And my work is overdue.

Pour a glass of wine,
Have a little chat,
Forget the time
And remind myself that - 

The world won't stop
Because I can't start.
I'm sure I'll work one day
Once I feel it in my heart.
