Only A Dream Poem by Aminath Neena

Only A Dream



Diving into boundless depths
Embedded within a pair of gems
Pocketed on his moony lens
I once had this dream
Of a shower of jasmine
Falling over ebony tresses
Of Persian silk dresses
Spread on damask carpets
Of milky waterfalls
And the whispering breeze
Blowing over the trees
Carrying jeweled roses
Of silver trinkets
Engraved on a golden pamphlet
Of flaming scarlet
Etched on bridal palms
And quenched thirsts
From sweetened sherbet
Of a dancing trumpet
Mimicking symphonic blues
Of brown teddy bears
Dancing with wind chimes
And painted nursery rhymes
Chanted as love songs
Of carved sculptures
Decorated with ancient embroidery
Mixed with antique calligraphy
As timeless mementos
On the mantel piece
Then he blinked
And his amnesia triumphed
Ruining everything
So it all vanished
Into a deep abyssal hem
Of lucid Freudian REM
And destiny woke me up
