As I Lay Asleep...... Poem by royston serrao

Soft cushion
Flavoured incense
I lay asleep

Night
Day
All the same
I lay asleep

Hurted deep
Women weep
I lay asleep

I lay asleep
Amidst the noise
Mortal body
Left with no choice

Drones of people
Flock around
Curious for my name
In moments of despair
Feeling of fame

Its all over
Forget me now
Lay me lower
My house-the ground
And let me sleep
Let me sleep
Sleep
Sleep, forever........



-Royston Serrao
