Sleepless Poem by Seema Aarella
Sleepless
It hurt me with the pain of
Thousand bee stings, your
Plain thought soaked in the
Jasmine mist of my garden
On a deserted summer evening
Adding extra agony to my apathy
Alienated from myself I watched
On my unused shabby table
The tango of dust and light
Streaking through the window
One final time before the dark
Inviting the intolerable lonely hours
From the punishing comfort of
My house I walked out as if
Impatient feet themselves lead me
From beneath the boring roof
To the kiosk of full moon sky
That reminded me a bitter sickness pill
From the terrace of my suburban home
I searched the celestial vastness
Madly, for the thirteenth sign of zodiac
To kill the monotony of restlessness
That besets me often in your absence
On these sleep deprived unpleasant nights.
The imagery that comes streight from heart, the visibility of things as the invisible displays on them {tango on the table} and the {thirteenth sign of zodaic}, lonelines has no better way of expression, seema.10 plus
what more to say about an expert like you in emiting passion? lovely. shan
U' r words create a vivid picture in the minds of the reader. Nicely worded.
sleeplessness and lonliness go hand in hand at times. Wonderfully written.
these moments of alienation can be so gruelling and intense that we end up meandering thr' labarynths even to find our own self!
That besets me often in your absence On these sleep deprived unpleasant nights! ..... close attachment and sudden isolation causes worry and sleeplessness...... very good descriptionof state of mind.. well done
yeah sometimes loneliness may cause sleeplessness.................but one must learn to live in solitude and face oneself then loneliness becomes comforting.........a good write.......
