A Dream Poem by Aakash Nengroo

I have got something for you
something to tell you
Something to grieve for
Something to be happy for

I have got a dream
A dream, i have lived a thousand times
Everytime feeling complete..overwhelmed
Here it is...my dream...
Or it could have been....our dream

I wake up in a land not so far away
Listening to the chirping of mynah
So soothing...so peaceful
That Took my breath away

You enter our room...
With a cup of tea..full of love
Smiled at me...
Gave me a good morning kiss
Making me feel on the cloud nine

I get to see our little princess
Dressed up..ready to leave for school
But....
As soon as i try to absorb this joy
Of our complete little world
Suddenly
Some cruel people come
Daggers shining in their hands
Full of anguish....they were

They dragged me...took me away
Laughing....showing their demonic teeth
I cried...let me go
Please...let me go...

But they laughed and laughed
At my helplessness
And then a demon with crooked eyes said
You have no right to be happy
You are a true lover
And true lovers are bond to sufferings...

His voice was so abvious...so shrill
That i woke up
Sweating....gasping
As if air had sworn not to enter my lungs
And then the voice of that demon
Ringed throung my ears
Again and again and again
