Dream Poem by Biraj Valia

Dream

Rating: 5.0


Dusk midst existence and nihility
Evincing myriad hues outlandish
As twilight scintillates to nullity
Inwardly ushers shades violently;
Evoking waves from the ocean of wish
Dusk midst existence and nihility
Illusions swirls shades in hostility
Mirages of reality vanquish
As twilight scintillates to nullity
Crying, romancing in tranquillity
Then laughing and grieving so nightmarish
Dusk midst existence and nihility
Portraying the end or infinity
War of soul and imagery to brandish
As twilight scintillates to nullity
Dreams open or close door of verity?
Perplexed by mystery to establish
Dusk midst existence and nihility
As twilight scintillates to nullity
