Daydream

Let me daydream like my child

One moment going to the humungous space

Another, meeting his grandparents far away

How a fraction of a second becomes a child’s play!

A doorway to my latent desires

Giving me a momentary bliss

Making the mundane tolerable

I let my dreams overpower me!

Fantasies I see, give me wings

Clipped in reality, making me droop and wail

I can ride on my dreams, free and wild,

Travelling to places unknown and meeting strangers!

Like a feather I become light

As I talk and laugh on my own

To escape from the bromidic I often take this route

Refuelling me with new and fresh hacks!

A boring Sisyphus I don’t want to become

My bitter-sweet reveries, thus, propel me

With its prismatic refraction of colours

From the banal everyday life!
