Literature Text

Dreams are swirling in my head
As I'm laying down to bed
Thoughts profound and thoughts mundane
A vision of a weather vane

Sleep Creeps up while I'm awake
And in the dark my dreams will take
A turn, likewise, towards the black
I've rowed out far, no turning back

Faces, faces, everywhere
All my own but with pink hair
Each of my many faces sings
And floats about on silvered wings

Running now, I pump each foot
But soon I start to cough up soot
All around the fires burn
I stand aghast and slowly turn

In my bed; it's now a mess
But solemly I must confess
On my sheets I see ghost flames
I'm rather sleepy, all the same

I like the imagery here. And the rhyming. There are a couple lines that don't fit though. The words are fine, but the rhythm stumbles in a few places. Also, did you mean to capitalize "Creeps" in the second stanza.
