I am chasing a dream
A dream that can never be mine
I am attracted to a fantasy
That makes my days bright and nights shine

I don’t want to let go my dream
And open my eyes to reality
The present smothers me
Treats my gossamer thoughts with cruelty

I hold very close to heart, my dream
That coddles me and nourishes me
Candles my sepia heart
And takes me away from ignominy

I am absorbed in my dream
That sustains in me my passion
So deadly is the real life
I hug my dream again, snubbing caution


-----------------


I have a dream,
A dream of escaping the tangled web of loneliness,
A dream of flying high with joy and happiness,
A dream which prevails in my mind,
A dream which seems like a beautiful mirage in my deserted life.

I have a dream,
A dream of a partner full of love and compassion,
A dream of a person who would willingly become my shadow,
A dream of a love who I would never loose from my heart,
A dream of a soul who would suffer from my pains,
A dream of a lover who would gleefully join hands and venture into unknowns lands.

Sometimes It seems like the dreams are turning into reality,
A beacon of hope shines for a stranded boat in desolate ocean,
unluckily I loose the sight of hope in the rough seas of emotions,
as realities take over the sweet imaginations.

As a marooned sailor of the lonely ship,
I would hang on to the lonely beach,
I would keep dreaming on for the daring rescue,
For if the dreams die, I will fade away like a sea shell in the ocean
