If I Sleep Poem by Piyush Dey

If I Sleep

Rating: 5.0


The night is dark and deep,
The sleep has arrived at the
doorstep with a lantern,
But, i won't sleep.

The dreams may be long and sweet,
the bed may soft and cozy,
But, i won't sleep.

The moon may fall,
The sunshine may call,
But, i won't sleep.

I know, i'm sweating
I know, i'm tired
But, i won't sleep.

The rain is pouring down,
And pokily might the storm
lash and go,
But, i won't sleep.
For if i sleep,
Who will wake me up?

Is it your desire not to miss anything or your feeling that there is none to give you company that you refuse to sleep even when your eyelids droop with the weight of slumber? An interesting poem Piyush!

well, i know sleep is necessary, but this poem is not about how much i sleep or not. this poem has a parallel meaning with life. because in life if we get loose of ourselves even for moment, we will loose ourselves forever. thanks for the remarks.
