The Lazy Afternoon

Let me steal

A wink of sleep

This lazy afternoon

Belong to the realm of dream

Feel its unique texture

And lose my worldly grip

Only soon

Let me sneak into

The land of fantasy

During the course of

Afternoon siesta

Drape my body and soul

With linens of ecstasy

Decorate corridor of mind

With motifs of imagination

Fancy... a cozy place

To unleash

All those unspoken

Let me possess

Some mystic sense

This afternoon

Peep through canvas of future

Conjure up something exciting

That stirs my being

Caresses sans pretension

Till motley remains of sleep

Catches up with routine.
