A dozen of lullabies
That helped me sleep
A dozen of caresses
That showed the love so deep
The fairy who promised
To take my tooth of milk
And in turn gave me
A warm rug of silk
When the dreams were tucked
Safely under my pillow
I looked out of the window
And wondered which star to follow
The books that lay
After being read
The faith that the remaining lessons
Would go straight into my head
The letters that told
The stories of the weak
My pillow held the secrets
Which were hard to speak
The dried stains of tears on it
Helped me mellow
An entire universe lies
Underneath my pillow….
Excellent writeup.
ReplyDeleteI am a hypocrite when it comes to pillows. I bash women at every given opportunity for the infinite love for having countless pillows. But I love them too. No, not in that many numbers. But one should always be at an arms distance. :D
@Aniket:
ReplyDeleteWell not many people are crazy about their pillows. But i have 2 of my favorite ones!! :)
thanks for dropping in :)
I loved this one...
ReplyDeleteBut Minnie, you didn't have a pillow here. I guess I played my role well. :P
@Jinu: Yeah you did!!! I have two back home who work as substitutes for you :D
ReplyDeleteVery well written Yamini.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Aniket about having a pillow at arms distance. I have two favourites of my own too, and you bet they are stained.
I am a bit dense about poetry, but this one touched my heart. :)
Amrita

ReplyDeletethis should be recited to children..rhyming is perfect and the right words have been used...good work Yamini...
Beautiful. Reading you, I realize how childish my attempts at poetry turn out to be! :)
ReplyDelete@Rohan : I went back to those childhood days and gradually grew up with the poem...
