A Dream Within A Dream Poem by Tulsi Shrestha

A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM
Please tell me, someone here
Why my love is beyond my reach
I know my moon belongs to the Sun
Still I love her as my own love.

Dream I dream turned nightmare
I wake up in dark midnight
Your beams caressed me gently.
I misunderstood it as your love.

I watched you a whole night
From the veil of my window
Tears flow down to my cheeks
No one is there to wipe my tear

Why I'm alone! in this world
Grief followed me as her beloved
Don't I have right to dream
A beautiful lady as a life of mine.
