Draw for Black or mate in 2?

Chess Tactic Puzzle

Here is a position from a game I recently played as Black.  The board is actually facing the way that White would have seen it ... In a time scramble, I could not find a way to win, so had to settle for the draw and the loss of a few rating points ... 

Is there a mate in two for Black instead of a draw?



You will become a great chess tactician if you can see two moves ahead here. 

CLUE:  Black is close to mate here, but what is the next move??. Without looking at the solution, try and devise a series of moves in your head that you can play to attack the opponent's king for a favourable outcome ...
