Just trying to sleep

Poetry

Just trying to sleep,

To wake in your dreams.

My silly belief leaves,

The moment I acknowledge,

You are just a dream.

I do not want to wake,

It is good to be in dreams,

Reality is harsh,

And so, mallow trees.

Only the flower it possesses,

Is worth of seeing,

So are dream.

Just trying to sleep,

To wake in your dreams.

Its night 11 pm,

I am grounded to my bed,

Dearth of emotions is so less,

I am playing wordy chess,

Just planting white words against blacks,

And completing my poem as empty racks.

Just trying to sleep,

To wake in your dreams.
