O! Sleep
O! Sleep
Steal my being...
Even for a while
And take me in your deep embrace
For... Life has eluded many times
Do not put me under hideous grimace
My home in the land of wails
Is bereft of joy and happiness
A gasp of cold breath and sob
Remain recurring motif and prop
The maze mongers deep-seated sighs
Shores me away from pleasant details
My best efforts to stimulate cursed eyes
To shed a few drops and help salvage the ordeal
Yields no result as such
As they abide in perennial denial mode
Remain ajar ...sans even a wink of sleep
O sleep!
I wish sometimes you shut my tired eyes...
Force them to rest for a while
For... My lonesome being scouts for company
When the night is dark and deep
Winter is the only season
I am made to witness of late
Pine now for a sip of spring's nectar for a subtle u-turn of fate hope someday I am able to breathe eased away from incoherent mutterings and have a good night's sleep.
