Pupils oscillated

I scrolled my phone

Pseudo smiles

Decamping to escape

From the fears unknown

 

Checklisted In ‘Yes’

Dotted ‘to-do’

Some not- done’s

By ‘today’, that smudged

with my Kajal

 

Caravan of memoirs

Quilt noticed

Tossing and turning

Along with me

Mending Mind

 

Grasped the pillow

Onto my bosom

Clasped & Caressed

Thinking it’s you;

Molten mellow

 

Collage of clutters

I slid underneath; the

Synthetic demeanor

In barter of this

Negotiated night

 

Pages flipped

Once my favourite

Closed & sided

Frivolous Baggage for

Thoughtless sleep
