Could I forever live in my dreams?
Thus slipping into a lifelong sleep.
Always filled with endless possibilities,
To which the mind is ready to leap.
Nights evident of calm and peace,
With open emotions and limitless hope.
Should reality seep in or maybe cease?
Let my imagination run wild and not just lope.
Dreams where virtuality comes to being,
And apprehensions take shape.
Dreams where love isn’t fleeing,
And the eyes don’t just gape.
My mind strives hard to weave,
Stories of then and now.
Forcing unpleasant thoughts to leave,
Tying all relations in a vow.
Life is incomplete without them,
To no one and everyone they belong.
Like a bud from a stem,
They blossom into a colorful song.

ReplyDeleteDouble Jeopardy
You said it, Swathi. :) Reality check is what stops us from dreaming and gets us back into the actual life.
DeleteDreams it is said are an extension of who we are and what we want to be...so blossom into a colourful song!
ReplyDeleteI loved your statement, Nisha :) Dreams truly show an extended version of what we want to be. They encourage us to keep working towards our goal. :)

DeleteI love dreaming, partly because I love sleeping too. But even otherwise I always try to interpret my dreams and sometimes I think they may be an omen about things to come. Nice poem :)
