A DREAM

Dream swam through the oceans

Beyond horizon, away from vision.

Then flew across the sky

To meet the moon one day.

It had to reach the moon

To make it come true

I was scared to the bone

And thought, “whether

it could reach the moon

Or might be blown away

by the typhoon

On its way.”

The path seemed quite easy

As I was too crazy.

But on its way met with fairies

Immersed in their beauty

My dream started whirling

And forgot about the goal.

Being upset I sent my soul

To chase it down

And teach a lesson.

My soul flew

At blistering speed

In no time it caught my dream.

But, Alas!

The fairies were looking at this

My soul stumbled and was transfixed.

The fairies stole my soul’s heart.

What was going on I could not understand.

Being glum, I slept again

Early morning as I woke up

My dream was gone

And my heart was stolen.

Who was the thief

I thought to myself,

“Were it the fairies

Or the cutest girl in my class?”

With whom could I

Share this story?

Would be thrashed

By my parents,

Teased by my friends.

Cannot dare to share

With the girl

Thinking these I kept quiet

And every night I

kept dreaming about the girl.

“Was it love or attraction,

Was it crush or infatuation,

Was it adoration or obsession?”

Till now I am clueless

About this emotion.
