Sleep denied pleasures

One shot poetry makes me think harder, and here I pen down thoughts of a mother!



Denied
Of the right to close the lids,
To let the darkness
Creep in
For the night.
She watched
Him curled into a ball,
Knees drawn to his chest,
Lips purses, temple taunt...



"He is dreaming..."
She smiled
And drew the lines
Of his face,
He moved a bit,
Turned and slipped
Away again...

Denial of nightly retreat
She watched him
Sleep
Peaceful, and quiet.

Holding on to her finger
With his tiny fist.

Gives me the right to share my thought!!

Lovely description of the little one. I still feel this way when I see my daughter sleeping and she is 17!
