In My Dreams

Visit me again when I dream in my sleep,
I cannot rest, love! without you in my sleep!

Echo of your lilting laughter still rings deep,
moments of joyous love I dream in my sleep!

The raw mango orchards with fruits in a heap,
Sour effect  on your face I dream in my sleep!

I walk past your brick house, past those grazing sheep,
Silence of your absence I dream in my sleep!

I remember carrying you up slopes steep,
Your warm arms around me I dream in my sleep!

Many coloured balloons we caught in a leap,
your fright when they pop loud, I dream in my sleep!

Do you think of me too whenever you sleep?
I dream of you dreaming of me in my sleep!
