Dream

a poem by Jyothi P V

I’ve lost my appetite
I can’t sleep a wink throughout the night
I cannot work, I cannot concentrate
Each day in my work I am late
Earlier I was so efficient
Why not now? Is something deficient?
Does anybody know what is wrong?
When will this end? Will it take long?
Who is this that comes to my mind?
Who I’m always looking for but cannot find
Who do I look for night and day
Who has taken my heart away
I have to get back to my work
It is important I cannot shirk
Please come back to me my heart
Let’s begin again, let’s make a new start
I ask again, please come back to me
I have to work, I have to study
Work isn’t possible without you
Please come back and give me a clue
On who is that who comes to my dreams
Will I ever find him? Never it seems.
