DREAMS!

A very very long time ago, I dreamt of the universe

The meteors, the shooting stars,

The Jupiter, Saturn and Mars

The alien wars,

And the yummy tomato sauce!

The childhood dreams!

A very long time ago, I dreamt of the skies

The jets, the pilots,

The rainbow colours,

Ever beautiful flowers!

I knew no break,

Convinced I was-

                my world wouldn’t shake.

The masti dreams!

A long time ago, I dreamt of bliss

The everlasting bliss,

With no work for me to do-

                I was the winner of every show!

Not an instance I frowned,

Thought I’ll be crowned!

The playful dreams!

Sometime ago, I dreamt of people-

Those who helped, those who cared,

And those who left me hurt and maimed.

Guys who made me stare!

Thoughts and feelings as never before-

Stared flowing into my heart,

Which before was never a part!

The lovey-dovey dreams!

Now, Now, Now is the time,

I dream of dreaming,

All the above things,

The innocence and the simple joys!

The uncomplicated living!

To those sweet memories I now cling,

A smile on my face, they fail not to bring!

With these in my heart, and the future ahead-

I strive to achieve,

Least a few of what I now dream!
