Dreams and Illusions

I had a dream where…. I tried to catch the rainbows When I saw that twinkle in your eyes I tried to decipher the meaning In that one lone half tear That shimmered just beneath you lashes When we said our goodbyes I tried to hang on to the moments When we had reached the vast skies I try to rationalize my feelings But it’s a dream I know And hence I let go And I dream further…. on and on I hold on to you, so fast And so desperately And I never let go……. And then, I see The twinkle turn into a glare The shimmer mocks me there And I fall thro’ the skies, hard and bare… And its time again for sad goodbyes! Tell me…. Was I really so smotheringly close Did I really adopt a clinging pose What went wrong, I often wonder Yet again, I try to decipher So foolishly indeed -the meaning…. In that one lone half tear that shimmered Just beneath your lashes When we said our goodbyes….. Or is it just a dream, an illusion……
