Rhyming in Vain

A raindrop here and a tear drop there
One brings hope, the other takes it away
A tear drop here and a raindrop there
One flows of joy, the other washes it away

A mansion here and a tiny hut there
One keeps you warm, the other freezes away
A tiny hut here and a mansion there
One sleeps soundly, the other worries away

A dark cloud here, and a rainbow there
One makes it gloomy, the other cheers a day
A rainbow here and a dark cloud there
One's unreachable, the other gets you some day

A punch here and a smile there
One knocks you out, the other makes your day
A smile here and a punch there
As you can see, I've had a really bad day!!

Nightly Rhymes

Another night when sleep evades her
Another night when peace betrays her

A few minutes ago she would've drifted into slumber
A few minutes later, though, resting is a task of labour

She may be exhausted one night, excited the other
But sleep visits rarely, just like a perfect weather

The trouble is causes her cannot be explained
She's lucky to have her sanity retained

Brilliant ideas zoom about like fire-flies
But she can't capture them from where she lies

Repentance is then all that remains
For all those goals she never attains

Yet, she's hopeful of every single moment
For the one precious gift that it might present

The power to set her talents in motion
Helping her achieve everyday salvation

Till then, her desires will silently scream
As she drifts through every meaningless dream

Till then, the bed is a slab of burning coal
As, once again, she strangles the voices of her soul
