The Dream

a poem by Mili

“This is a dream I share with you,
the dream I wish to see with open eyes…
To walk along with you down the winding lane of life,
no matter how ruffled the path appears,
I’ll stand by your side,
lest your hand is in mine.
To walk along a few steps,
no I don’t even ask for miles,
this is the dream I wish to see with open eyes.
My eyes longing for that one gaze of yours,
that could kill me like a slow poison does,
my ears yearning to hear those words,
like a thirsty wanting to quench thirst,
this is the dream I wish to see with open eyes.
Snowclad mountains,
I hear hissing winds,
a waterfall trickling nearby,
my eyes dawn on you,
I perceive a picture perfect no less than a paradise,
yes!! this is the dream I wish to see with open eyes.
Oh tell me my lord for what should I do,
in search of tranquility I turn to ‘you’,
do dreams, ever… ever come true??”
