Now, I Keep My Dreams Aloof

My youth floated on ample dreams;

On infancy and lavish themes.

I dreamt of sailing sea and flying high.

My mother too lived the same lie; 

And now, I keep my dreams aloof.

Those were all but mere dreams;

Giving voice to my silent screams.

Yet, I dream still, to relive and treasure;

To reach the heights beyond measure.

And now, I keep my dreams aloof.

I could afford fantasy in my dreams;

Over the seas and magical streams.

Crossing borders and reaching unknown;

Far from reality till the early dawn.

And now, I keep my dreams aloof.

I live my dream in my dreams.

A glittering world, or just so it seems.

Clouding over my eyes and mind;

My dreams keep me unblind.

But now, I keep my dreams aloof.
