Cruel Sleep

Cruel Sleep

1 min

O cruel, impudent sleep

I warn you don't peep

While she is jubilant and at ease,

And her heart takes a giant leap

When she has drunk the wine of youth and vigour,

Your presence deems improper


Go and hide your ugly face

In the courtyard or in the barn, or

Go to convalesce where waits an insane man; or

Go to the next door child who waits with a belly pain; or

Go to the sunburnt labour; or

The sailor who has safely sailed ashore


Conceal your indolence and dastardly look,

She is all exuberant

And let her many dishes cook

Ssh! a woman's fury is more than the volcano

Can bring tsunami in a silent ocean

Can inflict you many a pain

Leaving no injury or stain

Can shake your entity

If she learns that,

You are an uninvitee


Know how my petite and charming lady

Laden with youth, exuberance and beauty

Has waited my return from thousand miles

How you can be so foolish!

Can't perceive it from her courtly smiles,

And from her brimming love and youthful styles?


Watch her toxic eyes

That sway like a swan on furrowed reel,

And her mosaic lips

That are impatient on thousand topics... morning till


O sleep you do come         

When we are sick,

Then we'll pick you as a chum,

And host you from night till morn


Not until this night,

Wait until the state of decrepit.
