Slumber

A light breeze triggers me
Echoes of the real world start to fade
The fairy of dreams seduces me
Commanding my lashes to fall
How can I resist such enticement?
I wish to defy
So I grip tighter to the brink of the present
I should not give in to an invitation to slumber
I need to be awake
A sprinkle of dust fall on me
But I continue to hold on to my reality
No matter how unpleasant
How sordid
And how unfulfilling it may seem
My lashes grow heavier
And the windows to my soul are almost closed
I beg
My utterance of mercy seems to have worked not
Because the seduction continues
The fairy of dreams blows another breeze
Gently releasing her breath in my nostrils
My grip of my sanity fades
I am weak
My flesh and my psyche
For I surrender to this
I submit all my passion
To experience a full night of bliss
Of transient and ephemeral bliss…
