UNNOTICED, UNSEEN

I woke up one day
Unnoticed, unseen
The sparrows were chirping
Did not mind me between

I poked them gently
The sparrows got scared
Seeing them fly
I went mad

I ran out into the streets
Naked and free
Hurled pebbles on passersby
Watched them flee with glee

I felt like a king
In this blind men’s paradise
Shocking poor fellows at will
Making fun of their cries

I was shaken hard
By someone I could not see
I rubbed my eyes
Could see only darkness around me

It was my mother
She put me on her lap
Tears filled my eyes
As I went into recap

I wished my dreams were true
I could see the world go blind
Why O Lord,
You robbed away my sight
What was my fault,
You made me Blind

LET ME SLEEP

I sleep so can I dream
to find me in a world I can be
to play with my dad while
my mom waits for me
with several cups of tea
Distant relations I not even know
Childhood friends forgotten long ago
tug along and raise a lot of cheer
I find myself cocooned 
in the midst of near and dear
God wakes me to the reality of hell
O’ No! I want to sleep for ever
and stay in my happy dreams
As I stand near the grave
I shoo away the birds around
My dad is dreaming deep inside
Leave me at peace, let me sleep

... Suresh
