Fantasy Poem by Aftab Yusuf Shaikh

How I wish that wishes came true!
The skies of my world were indeed blue!
And the cool sand around our feet
Wish that the breeze touches you
And then I pull you close
With jealous love, with greed,

The groove of the lake,
The scented grass,
This whispering night,
How I wish she sings!

How I wish that under the mango tree,
We spend conversing endless hours,
Sharing from the same fruit
Calling it sweet like one another
Not realizing in actuality it is sour!

These blazing lips,
These eyes that console,
Your voice like a sinless wine,
How I wish your arms grab me,
We make love not crossing lines,
How I wish I see a dream
And at least in that fake fantasy-
How I wish you were mine!
