sleepless nights
By neha bhat
The eyes just dream on. Open. Seeing vivid imageries Of what went by Someday I would like to Tell you too Where all I have been All hellish things I have Lived through Escaping unscathed but Assuming it to be My last moment Alive… The wish for a night’s sleep Has remained a wish. Lashes don’t droop Eyes don’t shut. Sleep lost In pain and anguish Sleepless nights I have had On someone else’s worries But my own? Not until today. The heart weeps Tears drop from the eyes, So much sadness, sorrow Unhappiness. Everything here lies entwined. Sleepless nights On my worries Worries? What all do I have? Many perhaps, But not telling Mute, hushed. Words don’t form Tongue doesn’t speak. Only eyes see visions On sleepless nights. Every night Is a sleepless night. Scared, frightened And terrified Are my sleepless nights. Written February 27th, 2002 © on Feb 27 2002 01:34 PM PST 18 • 0 • 10
