Falling Asleep

Bedtime stories rode to magical realms night lights turned off her shining smile in a blanket of hug and lukewarm kisses, a sweet birdsong pulled eyelid curtains and innocence fell asleep by mummy's side. Exam time cramming the night before a battle of stress to get into college burning of minds and rustling of books trying hard not to sleep, scattered revisions and exertion fell asleep by table-lamp side Late night thoughts of a special friend unfolding slowly, inside a dream awake exciting promise, ablaze heart in journey draped in rainbow, soaked in jubilant rain and love fell asleep by a rose-tint bedside A sleepwalking mind in philosophic soul no more struggle in trying to be someone a poet in peace building words into dream sitting by the shore, seashells of memories and in lullaby waves, falls asleep by seaside. 29th May, 2020 Sponsor Kai Michael Neumann Contest Name Falling |
