The day is long<\/p>\n
as the night is young<\/p>\n
The music serenades<\/p>\n
my ears as the tea<\/p>\n
warms my throat<\/p>\n
Chai for the win<\/p>\n
22 hours later<\/p>\n
and I still can’t find<\/p>\n
the allusive sleep<\/p>\n
that keeps my insanity<\/p>\n
away and my<\/p>\n
days from feeling<\/p>\n
like torture<\/p>\n
so I write and I read<\/p>\n
and I write some more<\/p>\n
about love unfound<\/p>\n
and time that flies<\/p>\n
when you’re having fun<\/p>\n
or something like that<\/p>\n
Indian spices swirl across<\/p>\n
my tongue and I hum<\/p>\n
to the sounds of<\/p>\n
a Neo-Soul mix tap<\/p>\n
seeping with Indie R&B<\/p>\n
newcomers, the<\/p>\n
mood is just right<\/p>\n
for an all nighter<\/p>\n
but the midnight oil<\/p>\n
is about to run out<\/p>\n
because the sun setting<\/p>\n
rising and setting yet again<\/p>\n
indicates that I’ve been<\/p>\n
awake far too long<\/p>\n
and it’s time to lay<\/p>\n
these bones down<\/p>\n
running on auto pilot<\/p>\n
and copious amounts<\/p>\n
of caffeine<\/p>\n
exhaustion wins<\/p>\n
tonight<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
