sleepless nights are peace less too <br />eluded by sleep engulfed by thoughts <br />runs back the memoirs to childhood days <br />while scenes open up one by one <br />loved and hated all fill the mind <br />games and fights unfolds its bind <br />the parents, the teachers, the elders <br />the friends, the siblings, the events <br />unbound the mind with veiled memories <br />the love, the warmth, the thrills <br />the joy, the fears everything props up <br />leaving the eyes in moisture <br />heavier becomes the heart <br />as exist many no more to contact <br />craves the heart for their warmth <br />shudders the body for their touch <br />finding all this never to happen <br />restless mind awaits the sleep<br /><br />Somanathan Iyer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sleepless-nights-56/
