Such a day comes once
When the Slumber rules over me
Hopeless, hapless, and poor me!..
Tell me, how to be free
She comes with stealing feet
And catches me unaware
My eyes go heavy and senses numb
I am there… but really not there..!
I try ‘n sit straight
And fight back so hard
But a yawn sly escapes out
Did anybody notice that?
Swaying to and fro unarmed
She clutches her ties round me
Nothing brings me out of this
No caffeine or any tea
But now her lullaby goes unheard
She vanishes out of sight
As I take interest in everything
And do all that I like!
-Gayatri
