Decieved By Dreams

Her whispers walked into 
my heart like whirlwind at 
twilight,
each phrase turned to 
solemn sentences like a 
graveyard farewell.

Metalic words stirred the 
cloud and melted into the 
teardrops falling my skies,
''It's over, don't bother to 
ask why,
you are a nice guy but... 
goodbye!
She
muttered, with inane 
innocence garnishing her 
face she rendered
her lines, behind her sweet 
smiles
are waves of words 
popping out like missles.

The stars could not contain 
the storm, they became 
blurred at dusk, the 
candlelight of our... first 
night fell under the 
fountain of fears,
the roof of our four year 
old tower is being carted 
away by the whirlwind.

I stammered like a lad that 
finds it hard to learn his 
mother tongue, the tears at 
the gate followed each 
words as they burst from 
the hall
of hurts, '' this is is not fair 
e e e enough,
You know ow ow I don't 
deserve
this'' I blabbed.

Like the proverbial dog 
deaf to the hunter's 
whistle, she braised up to 
respond,
twisting her tongue in a 
kiss mode, and with the 
same first smile that stole 
my heart, she dealt the final
blow:
the bombs landed on my 
heart safely and raised the 
dust of
despair,
'' spare me those rhetorics, 
I am
fed up, it's final, get that 
into your
poetic skull''. She roared.

I sank into my sofa, as I 
watch her shadow walked 
out of the door.
Each teardrop left a 
trail...my tongue got the 
lion share of it's taste and 
my pillow was not spared 
by the
streams of tears.

Alas! The morning breeze 
carressed my
lips, the orange sunlight 
stole through the curtains, 
I felt...her warm arms all 
over me as I woke up to 
find her right by my
side,with red roses all 
around the bed.
It dawned on me, that I 
never lost her after all. I 
was drowned in a dream 
of deciet.
