Notes About The Poem

Believe In Dreams

felt like UNREAL fantasy, IMAGINARY vision!
a SURREAL evening ...walking with you on a calm village-path!
the tall SHADOWY trees stopped waving their branches, all hushed!
haloed stars in neon sky kept watching us .. dazzling with hope in azure bliss,
ETHEREAL silence fell! but the hearts were racing!
we kept walking in the tranquil blessedness of the whispering night. 
                                                                                                              
                         the tender lavender memory never faded!

a HAZY day ..witnessed exuberantly uninterrupted pouring rain,
splashes from the mighty waterfalls descended and drenched us on the DREAMLIKE boat,
gentle strokes of raindrops created  a magical cadence of rhapsody,
eyes gently on each other, held hands tight, a ruby-crowned kinglet crooned inside me ~ 
my fluttering senses enchanted with a TRANCELIKE feeling,
my heart never pulsated the way it did, rapt with a profound sense of exhilaration -                                                                                                               
                                 Is this all a mystifying carousel of dreams? 

                                       

                                          FIRST PLACE
