I Dreamed a Dream

I dreamed a dream My home's closing door slammed To sound of silent regrets And slowly you slipped to oblivion My hope is the deserted room With crumbled petals from broken vase strewn Dust accumulated Has enveloped my once Glowing face Sobbing tears of unsaid words Are hanging in sorrows' frame Silhouettes of yesterdays Breathing last on torn plasters of wall Dark has unpacked bags in my room And raindrops have forever forgotten my doorsill For they fail to recall Our duets that we sung Holding them plentiful in our palms My bottom has fallen further to immeasurable distance And my roofs have curled their arms I tried and tried But without shackles my chained limbs Failed to hold on My beams have met their destiny They are part of archaic stories My dream is somewhere stuck in wooden clock It's hours hand Easy prey of termites Lost existence 18/02/2019
