Lullaby Poem by Poojitha Reddy

On the days I am down
And my face has a huge fat frown
I keep thinking what to do
To stop the tears flowing down my eyes two
When at night I lie and think
Would my life change if I dared to blink?
To find out I did and to my past I slipped
Some memories brought me tears
Some made me re-experience my fears
In equal measures happiness and pain
Rushed, and in the same ratio loss and gain
Reappeared, right under the shield of my eyes
People I loved and disliked got mixed like fire and ice
Fine threads of my moments passionate
Twisted and twirled; and chaotic became my state
Out of all the faces a light appeared
Whose intensity I both liked and feared
It gripped me with happiness pure
And a smile spread, my ultimate cure
The face was brighter than the burning sun
On it I beheld the heavenly mixture of love and fun
The fact that it existed was hard to believe
It had the glow that could make a depressed man want to live
The face sent me into raptures
And in my stomach I felt a hundred flutters
With the lightest touch I brushed away my tears
And slept soundly with neither worries nor fears
All I can say
To the face that keeps my fears at bay
And that can never see me cry
That it is my own Lullaby
