In the Fragility of Dreams

In the fragility of my dreams I hide my own ecstatic screams As my soul, builds, for itself, A sanctuary, a haven, a secret garden In which life thrives as I wish it to! There, The feelings I hold for the one I secretly love Are revered and acknowledged And are even turned into songs Which reverberates all over the cosmos! More, The Gods, pleased with both of our obedience Smile and shower boons upon us both Thereby giving us a world, made of peace, Stability and pleasures, to rule! In there, My secret lover Seeks and yearns for my eyes As ardently as would the thirsty Yearn for water when lost in the desert Giving me the status of Queen, his sole, Ruling his heart with the confidence Of one knowing that I have nothing to Fear from no one as his love Is as pure and genuine As the stars that glitter mischievously In the depths of the night, Ready to have us forget our burdens And to lose ourselves in their sight! In the sanctuary of my dreams, Life is as I wish it to be Allowing me no time to shed tears Or to regret of anything not achieved, Nor even to fear the negativity of anyone! Rather, In there, I live only to see the frown of my secret love Turn into a smile As his searching eyes find me! I live only to hear him mutter my name When he sleeps And to ask me If I am angry at anything that he did! Why, In the fragility of my dreams I am not a burden, I am not unwanted, I am not a slave, Carrying on my shoulder, The weight of my own cross Trying to go there where my fate takes me And hoping to get answers to that which I can understand not! Rather, In my own inner haven, Life itself dances, As if it were sparkles of the sun's rays Falling on the waves of calm oceans On warm tropical days!
