Living In the Hell of Dreams
I saw a young, pretty lady fall
while walking on the sidewalk,
she was trying to get up off the ground
a few meters away from me
I immediately ran towards her,
and I reached down to help her to her feet.
She kindly lent her both small lovely hands to me
Unfortunately, the ground was muddy
I,too, slipped and fell
just before her beautiful eyes and lips
so we came face to face
but what I saw was
a butterfly with broken wings
She was looking into my eyes in suprise
I,too, was looking into hers with some hesitation,
Right then I heard passersby laughing
and I soon got the point
I was on my knees
as if to make a proposal of marriage
Luckily, laughs I heard
woke me up from a dream
I helped that butterfly with broken wings
rise gracefully to her feet,
All of a sudden,
She gently kissed me on the cheeks,
and since then, not only has my heart been on fire
I also have been living in the hell of dreams
