Turquoise Dream~

Dreams...

  raise me some time

      high into the moonbeams

       up to the stars…

     tumble over large swathes of hush, 

-the nights become bright and licorice

I dip into the

    fields of candy, and mountains of toffee

Take a line and follow it.

There are connections... änd

Dream starts walking on my feet...

 A torch blinks near the window

the wind wafts in, knocks on the door

bed disheveled, I step in front of the mirror

quickly dress up in ceremonial costume

   highlight my eyes with kohl …

    for him…!

My mind wanders like a magic carpet story

Far, far away     midst the dimming light

…multi-coloured butterflies pass by me.

They tell me….I am just

   A few steps closer to him.

I freeze the moment!

Like in college romances:

       I seek imprisonment

I like to be a captive.

Ah, dreams! Short-lived dreams!

They do open floodgates of hopes and desires. 

So, dream you must....

Dream indigo, violet or blue...

Dress your heart in night's citadel

Soar freely..

   till the dreams are fulfilled.

** "A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.
