Vijay Pandit Poet Verse

I Chase a Dream

I chase a dream

I chase a dream that awakens my smile
Night after night till dawn breaks alive
When sun glows bright in eager skies,

And longingly I meander by your side
As we travel together on this rough ride
Where patches of strife hurt our pride.

There we encounter some stormy winds
And suddenly our love begins to unwind
Believing we must own unending sunshine.

Though we stay together quite some time
You ultimately decline to be my bride
As tribulations of life cause a fleeting divide.

Now as I fantasize under remnants of twilight,
I'm eager for your kiss beneath avid moonlight,
Thrilled that you agreed to see me tonight.

And I await your arrival where we first met
Under the canopy of sky wearing a sunset
Riding on emotions, hoping you'll say yes.

And I keep waiting through the lonely night
Till I realize you have changed your mind
As I surrender to anguish one more time.
