THE DREAM-MY COMPANION
It came to me humbly and snatched my sleep,
I then did go to the window and peep,
My eyes were wet and my cheeks were red,
As if- It was my very mind; which all these days was by me- Fed.
It came and quietly vanished,
As if- It could see the kingdom of a king banished,
I felt it leave me and go,
But then, I was so tempted by it, Oh!
I woke-up in silence,
Then sat up with resilience,
Again lied back on the bed,
Thinking about it- As if I was eating an apple red.
I could feel its birth,
With the heat from the flames in the house’s hearth,
What a short-life-span it had,
Even then, making me behind it- Go like mad!
Even in such a short-time,
It gave me memories-both sweet as sugar,
And sour as a glass of water with lime,
But, I still feel- I am a part of it now-
We are even then - Always Together.
