O My Dear Mind..... Poem by Kishore Kumar Das

Who is telling you
to wake up in the late night?
eyelids still closed
breaking the sound sleep
mind trespasses into
disputed territory
random thoughts
galloping like a horse
ruining the poor body cells
full of irrational questions
why, what if, when, how
asking for quick solutions
mind gets restless
from a peaceful sleep
no solution in sight
how to tame the mind:
a chronic problem for everybody.
O my dear mind
I love you dear
do me a little favour
postpone these bizzarre thoughts to daytime
it is total darkness everywhere
nobody is there
except you and me
please allow me to sleep.
