Dreams Are What We Think Poem by Aftab Alam

I’ve seen her, going away from the eyes
Far-far in hazy world with reducing size
Initial feeling of mine, I cried and wept
Finally no feelings in my heart, I swept

Now, when I caught a glimpse, no pain
I am happy, realized, no cloud no rain
Once on this green grass, like an Italian
Carpet, we used to sit on and gossip eon

Always I tried to forget her, tried always
Knew not! Where is string that tied sage?
When I slept, mind awoke in other world;
Left body dead here and soul there swirled

Dreams are what we think, but my dreams!
Body and soul unsynchronized, mind screams
Lord has given gift of wisdom but I’m not wise
This is the mysterious world, and I’m surprised
