Sleep-On Sale

Every night I wander around bed-town

To buy some tranquil delights homegrown

Dark ghostly mysteries of human life

Persuade me to escape

From the day of struggle and strife

I am eager to go that land of forgetfulness,

Of that unknown territory,

I track but can’t find a way to make me weary

When unfulfilled desires hover frequently,

My fancy wide awake weaves his web brilliantly

Sleep is a dream girl, a musk rose fragrance,

Melodies of a cookoo, the serenity of romance

These beauties in bounty I always cherish,

But every nocturnal errand will be quite garish

Because sleeplessness is my love interest

Day sympathies me but nights torment

I am impelled to sell my reluctant sleep,

If anyone is willing to buy and ready to weep
