Z For Zzzzzzzz

anything for you

love you to bits

an extra hour of Zzzzzzz

Z for Zzzzz

When I was thinking about what to write from Z, many things came to my mind “Zen, Zillion, Zebra etc etc” but nothing struck a chord better than Zzzzzzzz. I have been sleep deprived for more than five years. And I am not the sleepy type or rather I use to be, not the sleepy type. For me just an uninterrupted sleep of 5 hours is normally enough in a day but it has been so many years of not even getting that continuously, so I really really miss it. I am waiting for those days to come back, when I can be in bed for hours and hours and get up as and when I want to. One of the side effects of being a 24/7 mom I guess.

Are you a parent? Do you love your sleep? How many hours do you think you can sleep at a stretch? I think I can sleep for as long as full 24 hours if I get uninterrupted sleep!! :P

Alone But Not

Warm glowing in the heat

The thirst that never quenches

The burn that never burns

She held tight

With all her might

Hoping against hope

To remain united forever

Still longing to be free

Free

To wistfully flow

In the air

To become one with

Many others like her

To be her own lover

But how could she

She was born

Where she is now

She was always the part of it

Together they have seen everything

The heaven falling from the sky

The rains soaking her from inside

The moisture of love

That is eternal

Yet would leave her alone

The white descending from above

Covering her whole being

Erasing any other color

Yet being serene

The orange, the red

The yellow and green

Of beautiful spring

Abundance of love

Though she should be happy

But she remembers being aloof

For spring marks the beginning

The beginning of the end

The warm scorching heat

That feels like a blast

On her face

That fills her with warmth

Enough for her to survive alone

That gives her the signal

It is time to go

With a shock she moves

Fearing she might fall

But the wind carries her in her arms

Taking her to the dream

Where others were waiting

Who were just like her

That’s how she became a part

Of the yellow gold stream..

She was no more

A lone golden leaf

(C) Juztamom

Writer's note: The poem is in the voice of a leaf, which is dreading autumn  and is reminiscing all the seasons gone by. But in the end it cuts the string and becomes one with the golden stream of leaf.

Y For Yesterday

Snippet Of A Day In My Life

Willing to fly

Not stopping for a second

Born only yesterday

Y Yesterday

Time does fly. Both of them were born only yesterday and it is already years today and they can't wait to be on their own. Where did the time go?

Do you also feel like this? Has the time stood still or did it fly for you?

X For Xerox

Snippet Of A Day In My Life

Smiles with his eyes

Cries with his heart

Just like me

X Xerox

My five year old is so much like me that sometimes I feel like I am seeing myself in the mirror. He is all heart, laughs and cries with a vigor. Just like me. Sometimes it scares me, reminds me of all the heart breaks and aches I had to go through but it also means he will experience the joy with complete heart. It means he will live and experience the life way more than many people around him. More pain, more joy and more life lived!

Here he is smiling with his eyes. I literally can live in those eyes!

What about you? Is there someone you feel who is completely or somewhat like you?

The Road

What holds for us in the future is,

what we build

What we leave behind is,

just foot prints

The road comes from no where

And it leads to no where

It walks with us

We carve it

We build it

we lead it

And finally we leave it
