Pillow-My Other Half

Pillow-My Other Half

Oh my precious slumber—where have you gone

Come by the side of my pillow, for now I’m alone

Nobody is lying near—to kiss my eyes close,

Caress my forehead, tweak my crinkling nose,

And tuck those loose brown locks behind my ear

To stare into my dozy eyes and glance at my fear

Fear in hazel night-eyes change into watery haze

Drops of water, illusion of deep drowning maze

Skimming my wet cheeks, as maze breaks loose

For soon are unfastened—those knotted noose

You would always slid your hand around my waist,

Skim my blushing cheeks, lying on your warm chest

Bygone are those nights, a dreamy dream evolves

Love is lost; touch shadows, and warmth dissolves

For honeyed cotton-eyed pillow is my only soul-mate

Icy-lone goodnight kiss sneak to nocturnal eyes, of late!
