Sleepless Night. Poem by Safiyyah Manjra

You have heard all of my dreams,
The meandering fantasies and schemes.

You have watched me slit tears,
From an eye which never cares.

For the night is young,
The cloth is strong.

Twisting and tumbling I fell to the ground!

Catch me in the accolades of truth,
Hidden beneath banquets of regrets,
That pool in the never-ending streams.

As dark as the night,
The toss and turns,
Beneath the starlight.

Glistening glow,
Through the broken window.

Asks of me,
Why are you trying to go to bed early?
