Insomnia plaguing me since forever dwindled away slowly. My night devils stopped agonising me. I immersed in the sweet symphony of this elixir. As I sluggishly yank the cord attached to the blinds on the window the next morning, The murky daylight glistening my bedroom, Threw a ray upon my desultory eyes. The nightcap, the sweet sweet nightcap soon wore off. I staggered taking in my crumbling realm around me. My jalopy thoughts botching up my day. Again. Clashing feelings bubble. Distilled.

The constant scraping racket of the ceiling fan pulsing my ears
I fought it hard to catch my breath
I grasped my phone to hear my mother’s voice
Oh! How soothing her silvery voice sounds.
It rips me apart every time I have to accept the grim truth.
But the voice recordings turns back the clock to a time before pain.
Only if she could hear me back
How much her broken child needs mending
Just like torn hemlines.
Princia
A boozy sommelier pouring poetry.
