Sleep

Published on by Harpreet ChhachhiaLeave a comment

Sleep lets you know
What death feels like,
When you get into bed,
And those you love
Don’t know you’re alive.
It is death.
It shows you
The nightmare
Of being alone.
Even in life.

Apart

Love grows over time, it deepens with age,
It rises like mountains touching the sky,
Its rivers meet oceans, quiet and dark;
None seem to mind, or ask of it just why.

But as the waters delve and the peaks soar,
Distances widen, far out of arm’s reach;
They say, that is how true love ought to be;
They say, who do not do; but seek to teach.

Time lengthens, and our bodies grow apart;
Love takes for granted how fast the years run;
Soon, distances charter space and black holes,
While I become the moon, and you, the sun.

Stalkers

I try to write a poem,
When I am alone at night,
When the snorers snore,
In dull yellow light…

I don’t get far?
Emotions overwhelm
Anxieties, and allergies
Mix terror up with phlegm.

I wish I could stop thought;
I wish I could escape my mind;
So I try aligning the chaos,
In writing, and leave it behind.

But emotions are bedlam,
Mixed with my urge to know,
So these lie awake with me
And follow wherever I go.
