“In the mystical domain of dream, lingering longing returns in a spell” – By poet The night you left with my heart the gloomy sky fell with my tears. I saw your sodden silhouette slowly disappear in haze wet. Memory strands entwined the scene, weaved tapestry of frail fabric of my lost love, designing the lattice of your subtle grace. Your essence remained with me as sequins in my dismal mind, having a strange habit of making dreams that seemed real. One night my drooping eyes, hovering at the fringe of sleep, saw you return the way you went, made my mute heart fervent again. In the dark night, drenched by rain, I opened the door in a trance, went out to let you in the way I did so many times. Struck by the splash of cold drizzle, I sleepwalked all the way to stand dazed in your shadow that shaped you as my lost dream I saw enticed within a dream.
