The Dreamer's Dream

Faint glimpses of us

Gladdens my heart

Like the tranquil moon,

Its fleeting presence

When the clouds part

On a dark, stormy night.

Underneath the willow

On a huge boulder,

We sat by the river

Looking quietly into the night

As the flowing water sighed

Twas love at first sight.

                                                                                 

In a rainy spell, we laughed,

The joy brightened the sky

Colouring the grey canopy

With soothing pastel hues

The moistened lips quivered

As we had the exquisite first kiss

Staring at the setting sun,

Beside the window we sat,

The vermillion sky witnessed

Our promise, to hold each other

In the warm embrace of love

Together, like the flower and its nectar

Seasons changed, time flew

The spirit of love remained.

We walked on a mossy path

Fingers entwined, souls smiled

Reflecting the bliss, the calm eyes

Spoke of a love that could engulf the skies.

We walked together, grew together,

Withered together,

Sitting beneath the willow,

On the huge boulder, by the river

After seven memorable decades

We held each other and slept forever.

Tis this dreamer’s dream,

To love and be loved

In a way that’s pious and true

Protected by the soul of the Nature

Blessed by the soul of the Universe

Nurtured by the souls of Love and the Lovers.
