Snoozzze!

 Snoozzze!











Tring, tringg! The alarm rings, 

Just five more minutes!

I hit snooze, and sleep again,

Snuggling in my comfy bed.

A bright light opens my eyes,

I look at my phone-

It’s already eight, I’m late!

I toss my cozy covers,

I jump out of bed,

I bolt to the bathroom, 

Throw some water on my head. 

From my chaotic closet,

I grab a few clothes to wear,

Then quickly brush out my hair.

I take a big bite of toast,

Snatch my school bag,

And dash out the door.

‘Has the bell rung already?’

The guard laughs heartily,

‘Why, today’s a Sunday, kid!’

Melancholic Melodies

 Melancholic Melodies We used to dance for hours, Under the twinkling stars, On the wild meadows, Just you and me. My hands in yours, Our steps were in sync, Just like our heartbeats, Always beating as one. A rendezvous every night, When the sun disappeared, I’d wish for it to never return, So that I could dance with you forever.  That full moon night In the midst of summer, I waited awhile, And then searched for you. Worried was I, What had happened to my love? I ran across the meadows, And then I found you. You were dancing with another, Laughing and smiling, As I just stood there, My world swirling down. Were all those promises Nothing but a lie? How had I failed to see  Beyond those charming eyes? Alas! My wish had come true, But in the cruelest of ways, I was now all alone,  In a world without light. ***

Wistful Memories

 Wistful Memories All alone under the moonlit sky, You and I.  Dancing along with the palm trees, Forged memories.  As the gentle waves brought us closer, Together.

In English they say…

Image
  In English they say… In English they say… I can’t stop thinking of you. But in poetry… I can hear your soft voice in the twilight hours, Carried by the cool, evening breeze, That soothing voice I sought solace in, Even in my darkest of times. Every time I close my eyes, I can see your charming face always smiling, With that forever twinkle in your chocolate-brown eyes, That lifts the corners of my mouth into a small smile. I can still feel your gentle hands, Which enveloped me in a warm embrace, And made me forget the world around. Every moment, awake or asleep, My mind is filled with thoughts of you.
