Dream—A Poem

I looked through the twilight,

Through the darkness of the night;

I stood like a knight,

Afflicted by the sightlessness of his sight,

But just then, I saw light.

Followed by a human-like vector of a perfect height;

Looking very mysterious yet seemed beautiful or maybe I’d say “right”.

I was captured by perplexity

Without even the slightest idea of my where I was at.

Taking note of all the occurrences,

Holding firmly to the whole complexity,

And then I decided to break the ice;

“It’s the fairer sex”

—I said slightly to myself.

“Approaching you will be a wild goose chase”

I thought,

And so, decided to take the bull by its horn.

You came to the light.

“Hey mate!”

You turned.

“I’ve got something to say,

I promise it’s not about life or my faith.

This is true, although it sounds a little bit insane.

Look, anytime we’re together, I feel great.

I just pray, with you the feeling is the same”.

We got to the gate,

You asked, “Why did you call me mate?”

I went blank and so, you gave me a break.

From a bird’s eye view, we were on a date

And you kept on blushing

Or like you’ll say contradictingly, “smiling”

You found no fault in all I said and all I did

Although, I wasn’t that spick and span to me.

I went blank again.

This time with darkness surrounding me

The joy I enjoyed seized.

I felt someone tapping my arm

And so, I woke up to find out

That it was all a dream.

When I opened my eyes,

I saw that you were the one tapping me.

I know in a long run;

You’ll still recognize me!
