Dreams… in the arms of reality…

a poem by Kalpana Tyagi

You are my MD, my thought, my dreams…
Yesterday night, at the dead of night, in a lonely land,
Beautiful mystique enmity, passionate rivalry…
Seeded deep inside our hearts, we were together,
my hair like a cascade of water,
you dreamt and were my ‘luminous moon’.
I always felt-
but fear to realize coz
dreams seldom come true.
You closed my eyes and came close,
closer…till there were no space…
just face to face and then all of a sudden…
you ‘merged’ your face into mine and it got dark,
all dark-feeling of a lifetime.
So the moment had arrived, I had been waiting for…
since ages, decades and lives…
you are my GOD, my pride, my inspiration.
Please be mine.
You are mine.
Still I want you to be mine-
be close to me,
cuddled in arms,
locked in the barricade of love.
And please,
if you truly love me,
don’t let me fly.
I want not to be freed, but tied…
