Dream Poem

Life in a desert

walking alone on the road

looking for company

finally you find one

very far she is


a lot of distance you still have to walk

and the sun pouring its wrath

your thirsty throat quenching for water

your sweat is the only trace of moisture

the desert absorbs all it gets


but the pretty face attracts

and she is the only company

but a long way to go

before you reach her


is it road or burning coal..?

blisters under feet have a tale to tell

-Ambition burns more than the sun.

if you get to her,

torment will come to an end


though no energy left

and mind insists on leaving her,

heart is a strong rebel

and body gives up in the duel


you dared dare yourself

took a deep breath

and ran till the horizon

where the beauty was

only to find nothing


-From the same distance

she compels you

and makes you run once more

only this time a rock comes in your way

making you fall on your knees






but no power to stand

-hopeless, helpless and weak now

you remember the days of the past

you had a green life

and you left the oasis

to seek her company


the wind blows over you

and brings the hot sand

layer-by-layer you are being buried

to make you part of the desert

and through the mirage she laughs
