Lullaby In the Sunset

Two hours before sunset 
My study commence 
To the table n' chair, I rivet 
My green-blue orbs
Trying to absorb 
The itsy-bitsy letters 
printed on the papers 
After one & half hour 
I loose my power 
I shift n sit on the bed 
With all my books to read 

After  some more minutes 
My legs extend
N finally it's time to sunset 
Below the horizon, as the sun goes 
Shutter of my orbs, also close

My books turns into Lordess 
Magically, of wisdom & knowledge 
My head on her lap 
With soft n heavenly hand
She was fondling that 
Showering glitzy stars from sky 
Other worldly n silvery
She sings lullaby 
Through her silken lips
N I fall into a deep sleep

It s a really lovely write and an enjoyable one to read, everybody gets tired after studying especially when the subject is boring and at that time what s better than listening to a lullaby and falling asleep, good luckin the competition
