Waiting for Dawn

1.

Staying awake throughout the night

For your two forwarded words

Not a word more nor one less

Measured dialogues .. measured walks

Measured nibbling .. measured sleep

Measured laughter .. measured cries

Only unrestrained vanity standing tall

Like the great China wall

You can't surrender

No matter how much you try

2.

Every night I wait eagerly to watch a storm

But there are only sand storms now

Rain evades me in the last moment

If I think of getting some sleep at night

The dreams would disturb me, I know

Strange dreams without heads or tails

The T20 between dreams and reality

The futility of watching a fixed match

But still I look out to see the moon

And the sun in the morning

Perhaps .. Maybe today ..
