ENCLOCKED

The press on the keys-

and the click on the mouse

The tick of the clock-

and the silence of the house

Brings out from nowhere

the shadows of the past

of the rain, of the breeze,

And smiles, I smiled the last!

The albums in my heart

Turn their pages, so old

Smiles on the faces- known, unknown

warm up my heart- void and cold!

Wish I could pause

and go back to the start

But the clock shan't unclock

And I needed to part..

The press on the keys..

The click on the mouse..

LET HIM SLEEP

Let him sleep

wake him not

let him sleep for once

let him smile

let him dream

let him sleep for once.

It's a cruel world

that awaits his benign grin

that awaits his cry and tears

let him sleep

wake him not

let him sleep for once.

A deadly ambush of a life

awaits his struggle to live

it hungers for his sweat

and hungers for his toil

let him sleep for once.

He sleeps in a world

where smiles are real

and words spoken are meant

sans guile, sans sleight

Hence, let him sleep for once.

The leering world-

doesn't deserve his sweat

his blood, his brains or his life

let him sleep

wake him not

let him rest his nimble limbs

let him smile

let him dream

let him sleep, for once.
