Illusions…

a poem by Tanushree Kothari

You asked me what I dreamed of
and I said nothing,
for the simple reason that I didn’t
I didn’t have to dream…
I saw you anyway.

As I lay on the bed,
with my eyes still open
I felt your presence close to me,
you sweet fragrance encompassing my whole body,
your eyes locked mine
and I dwelled deeper in your love,
and as you merged with my soul
we united once again!

I didn’t dream…
Because I didn’t need to dream
I saw you anyway!
