A Midnight Message Poem by Sanjukta Nag

I am still awake
Sitting on the corner of the moon,
Waiting patiently
Only for you
Only for your love,
As you said that you would come
To sing to me good night song,
But it’s becoming too long
To believe that you’ll appear!
Yes, you’ve refused again to see me in my dream!

The sun shows up
Snatching the sleeping lines from my face,
And I sit speechless on bed
Looking at the touch screen on my hand,
Where you came in the midnight
With a soft blue light
Sending a vibration
Towards my unconscious body.

I know you’re the untouchable fairy
Of the surreal world.
But my misfortune had failed last night
To connect to you
In the reality too.
