Niche
Here I sit
Gaze at blank iPad page;
No words come
~~~~~~~~~
Sunday somnolence
A day of rest;
Sleep and company
~~~~~~~~~
Digital movie at home
"Salt" without pepper;
Unexpected twist
~~~~~~~~~
Tired eyes drooping
Too much to soak in;
Information overload
~~~~~~~~~
Inspirational book
Useless without action;
Substance embodies
~~~~~~~~~
Words inspire
Act with sure tact;
Fruits from seeds
~~~~~~~~~
There will be time
Time for doing;
Waiting on timing
~~~~~~~~~
Do the right thing
At the right time;
For the right reasons
~~~~~~~~~
Darkness invites
Cover for the unknown;
Fear marks courage
~~~~~~~~~
Moonlight glow
After drenching downpour;
Dreamy desolation
~~~~~~~~~
Dark, dark this deep night
Wet deserted winding streets;
Street lamps glow eerie
~~~~~~~~~
Midnight hour stalks
Sleepy world in slumber;
Not a soul in sight
~~~~~~~~~
Silence keeps company
Swirl of aqueous breeze;
Shiver on the spine
~~~~~~~~~
Last gulp of water
Just before bedtime;
Tipsy dreams intervene
~~~~~~~~~
Poise of sleepy eyes
Closing on a dream;
Hurling astral worlds
~~~~~~~~~
Do I date niche
A crazy metaphor;
Bedtime fantasies
~~~~~~~~~
