ALONE IN THE NIGHT

Waiting for the door bell

to ring anytime by her beloved, she lay

listening to the mellifluous

songs of a melody queen

caressing her ears, cooling her mind.

Sensing the scent of

an aphrodisiac entering

with cool breeze flowing

into the room she

lay with a lascivious

smile.

Watching the slice of

the star-studded sky

through the window

she lay, her eye-lids

twinkling like the stars.

Listening to the distant

blaring of a train

sensing a wild but feeble music

as the train sped along

with its glowing red-eye

penetrating the darkness,

she lay.

She lay dreaming of an imaginary

world, where she and he

laying locked in embrace

but even after prolonged waiting

the door bell rang not

melody queen stopped her

music and went home

the flow of cool breeze came to

an abrupt end

the scent of the aphrodisiac

stopped filling the room and

entering her nostrils

the star-studded slice of

the sky turned dark ,cloudy

she switched off the lamp

lying on the bed

but sleep never came her

way.

Listening to the rhythmic

music of silence she lay

awaiting the approach of

a deep, sound sleep

while the world fell asleep

she longed to listen a

lullaby coming from afar

to lull her to sleep.

She was remembering her childhood

with her mother.
