Dream

Last night I saw you, In my dream, You were standing there Looking at me, with a smile so serene. The impression of you was vague, Darker was your hair Wider was your smile In your eyes, there was so much of glare. By your image, I was mesmerized I walked towards you, I ran to catch you But from the grip of the dark, I couldn't get through, I was being occupied by the darkness all around, Noo one was in that dark snow But you, me and the dark scary background, It never dawned upon me, to let that idea of you go. I was feeding myself with idiosyncratic ideas of you, Even though your impression faded a while ago Perhaps, I got used to running after you Sometimes loosing my patience, Sometimes going slow. There is no way this spell could be broken, I was in a trap. Then on my shoulder, I felt a pat. And from this beautifully dark dream, I got out. With my blurred vision, I looked around But you were nowhere to be found. With a sigh, not sure I was disappointed Or in a relief, your idea was now far behind, Even so abstract images of you are on my mind.
