4 AM

its 4 AM
again
why am i awake?
why can i not sleep?

the world outside is waking up, slow
who are all these children of the morning?
walking slow and shuffling through the semi darkness
bending maybe they all have dropped something
like youth
there is a man in the Masjid
who has started his prayer
i do not understand a word of what he's singing
but i like the tone of his voice
a passion,
lost from lives that we live.

i'm sitting here in my bed
awake at 4 AM
have i really woken up to life?
or am i still sleeping?
so many questions
but
why
am i looking
for
answers?

This is what happens when you wake up at 4 in the morning.
oh and P.S i had to reconfigure the feed of the blog, because of someone who did a mischief on me. I just hope you all can spare one click to come and read the poems.
p.p.s Kris, don't kick my ass over this, i know your new phone can follow links!

  1. Nice to see that your still alive...if you can't sleep and ever somnambulate - then, make sure you ain't anywhere near a psychiatric ward...the patients might understand you but not the queer.
    Keep the bull raging...let them melt out of the furnace of your pen!!
    See ya ...keep your revolution.!

  9. Very nice! I can completely relate to that feeling of waking up at an uncommon time, and feeling dislocated but alert. I really like the disjointed rhythm and the simple, straightforward tone.
