bed – Meenas Poems

My Day In Bed

Woke up in the morning

was up in the bed for a moment

slid back on the bed

dozed off for the rest of the morning

got up again in the early afternoon

stayed in the bed for a second

slid back on the bed

slept off the whole afternoon

evening came in a few hours

the sun was settling down

woke up again for the third time

sat up in the bed for a moment

slid back once more on the bed

was fast asleep the rest of the evening

hurriedly jumped out of the bed

ran to have a quick shower

dressed up and ran to the door

jogged down the aisle

drove the car in full speed

entered my office in a wink

I am working night this week.

In The Midnight.

Waking up in the midnight
got up with a start right
memories kept flooding in
of times when my sons were in.

Their voice calling “mama”kept ringing.
Unknowingly went walking
to their rooms in search of them.
Unlocking ran in to see them.

None was there to greet me
Only the empty beds stared at me.
Just ran my fingers through their bed
held their pillows to the bosom with eyes red.

They live in countries across the continents.
Each one away from the other in a land distant.
Talking and seeing in Skype in an instant.
Well that is how it has been destined.

Brushing aside the tears with trembling hands
made my way back to my room in a tottering stand
slowly slipped on my bed completely devastated
straining to close my eyelids to a complete rest.
