Summer Night



Night descends
The sweat still trickles
For the want of a fresh breeze
The clouds are still
The leaves motionless
Waiting for that powerful whiff...
Sleep resists
Lights stay on..
The city stays awake
Till the wind's presence is known.
Dreams not dreamt
Promises not kept
All I need is some rest
But the air does not move
My eyes are too tired to see
And sleep still evades
Despite my desperate plea.

Summer nights are very long.. and sometimes the heat gets too much to take, esp with powercuts et al.

Yes, I took the pic on my 3 mp mobile camera. Not bad, eh?
