A deep sleep hovers over my eyes
Yet ,they refuse to be at peace
The fan is slow , tanpura at low
tempo and the lights dim.
Yaman going through my mind
Yet, I feel like a blind
because everything turning black and white
even the sheer moon light.
Shadja flowing like an endless brink
from every nook of my heart and throat
hey, wait a second....
who is this?....... Yes, I recognize thy face.
Yet ,not able to recollect my treasured past
or ,say ,perhaps do not want to...
Yes , I have inhaled your fragrance
--the same old known to me.
My breath control has been lost
(why am I weightless??)
The heart beats tremendously slow...
yes , I could sense it and , you too.......
What is this??Am I drunk??
Why am I dousing off??
"Is this what we are destined to??"
Hey ,who spoke that??
"to be.to see.to feel. yet to part??"
Who is this? Am I getting hallucinated??
"Please don't go. I beg you.
Be with me. I beg you.
I don't need you
You need me...
-- need me to perfect me..."
Where is my sight gone?
Why is everything black again?
Where are you ? Where am I?
Was it a dream ?
Yes , indeed it was.......
But , my reality still goes back to it
my life still beckons you
It's incomplete and unfinished ...
Don't cast me into enemy
in your absence....
Where are you?
Who could know?
I beg you.
Yes, I do.
In my utter need.
No.....
No.....
It's not dark all through.
You cannot be a mere dream
You are true ; as true as the Sun ,the Moon and the Life itself....
And , Yes I know it today...
Let alone the world reject.
I wait and wait
in my dreams, for you to come,
to speak to me and to hear my latent thoughts....
and not if anything be true above; just sit beside me;
I will be happy enough for a lifetime...
Because, I know
"You are not a mere dream"
