In the firmament of sleep
clouds of dreams-
fluffy, light
dense, dark,
shaped to the cast
of desires unfulfilled-
began raining regrets
unto my night
Drizzle of schedules unmet
turned into/ gave way to
downpour of heartaches
Showers of unwilled adjustments
soon turned into
blizzard of wasted/ unrealised talent(s)
And before I realised/ soon I was left
drowning in yesterdays
that couldn't become morrows
And my today left to stare
at the familiar puddle
of underachievements
teasing my shadow
(too) hesitant/ embarrassed
to have been
caught by my side
Unheaved sighs
made me come awake
to the day that was
yet another today
that wasn't what
the yesterdays yearned (to be/ become)
