Bad Dream Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Bad dream
Tuesday,6th April 2021

Less I thought
more I was caught
in dilemma and confusion
it was just a marked question

I got worried
and carried
deep scar in the mind
to find you leave

you appeared as a shadow
and allowing the departure
from life and leaving in the lurch
I failed to reach your glimpse

more you stepped out,
fewer words were spoken out
you were going away forever
creating terror and fear both

was it a scary dream?
morning rays emerged as beam
I heard you saying
'good morning Ramina'

such things happen in daylight too
where we are watching to
The same thing happening often
making our life hell from heaven
