Librium

Librium

a toss and a turn
on the
once smooth linen

why oh why
she asked
silence
was the answer

everything was in place
a flagon lies readily
filled to the brim
pillows all puff up

flabbergasted at herself
she was

it was now four
as dawn
was to greet her
she found
little comfort in it

hot flushes they call it

but nay
it couldnt be
as simple as that
she said
(could it?)

as stubborn as she was
she couldnt resist
it any further

consumed the librium
with a gulp of water
she did

alas she found sleep
alas she was at peace

[Footnote:Wrote this poem during my morning Account class - apparently out of boredom and a sudden stroke of inspiration. In case, you are interested, it's about a sleepless woman and her sleeping pills]

Nah. Those are sleeping pills this time. I will write a poem about sliming pills some other time. XD

Don't forget to include mamaks, crocodiles and pigeons in that one. =]

Btw, nice piece of poetry you've got there. I can't write one to save my life. =/
