Let Me Sleep

By Suchismita Mandal

Strayed from the wanton ways of the world,

Here I enter into a world of Romance,

Where pain and numbness are not known,

Guilt and remorse are kept aside,

Blindness heads for a better sight.

Fantasies gain pedestal, realism chained down.,

Where passion by dreams is cajoled, and sincere feelings linger below.

Gesture which acts as a balm for broken hearts,

That pursue every moment with careless fantasies.

The world is different,

Where darkness is followed by soothing stillness, heads for truest desires,

Imagining unknown fantasies,

Rejection of the world is not known.

Let life be as I want to see,

Let me be master of my desires,

Let me rule my senses,

Let Realism stay apart

Then, let me sleep Dear Friend,

Do not make me awake.
