The Winter Night
I finished clearing the mess
And walked towards the bed
Sleep on my mind was less
Thoughts were awake in my head
Putting sleep aside
To dream with open eyes
I reached my balcony wide
Hoping that the breeze can make me wise
It was terribly cold,
The wind made my mind sway
It brought back memories old
The party night and gloomy day
Great were those times
With the 'friends for life'
Those songs and those chimes
That angry neighbor's wife
Its all gone now
Leaving behind just tears
To get it back, how
After so many years?
A dog barked
Bringing me back in the present
'Twas late, I marked
Straight to bed I went
Letting go of the dream
Worried about tomorrow's work
I let the memories scream
And destiny on its face, had a smirk....
