It was a sleepless night



It was a sleepless night

It was a memorable sleepless night indeed,
Not with those of eyes of searching looks,
not craving for the embalmed love of bygone days,
nor for those embraces of missed romance,
but many a nights’ similar plights of lost
love, truth cupped into twisted tales,
tears wetting those cheeks, those tears were not
from mere eyes, but from the heart’s softest corner,
love lost long, long ago, even displaced by diabolic
dehumanized ones crept to shake the roof,

A recollection of a sordid episode of a child
Crying and battling with life, a severe bronchitis
Somewhere a call from the God of Death,
The child is heaving a sigh of relief from
those dissatisfied devils, backdoor intruders
for lifelong gain, you were only a mute witness
to the drama of assertive argument and sin
sickening pell-mell. It was a sleepless night
when I had the feel of the dead innocent child
embodied into my being asking for justice and
it was the sleepless night that a call from the
Above whispered ‘endure, endure, and endure.’
