Dreams Lost Poem by Mahfooz Ali

Chasing wishes, planting dreams
the moonlit sky and how we gleamed
walks at night with the misty rain
watching flowers while holding hands
nights of love now turned to pain
lonely hillsides where I sit and wonder
love songs on the radio
quiet streams and gentle winds
does she know my pain that's deep within
I found and lost myself with her, my spirit and my love
destiny has taken her astray
I 'm on a solitary path now wandering...will I ever find my way?
be a fighter....you can win
be a dreamer....but let no one in
I 'll go outside now and walk away
find the shade of a gentle tree
where I can sit and write in what I believe
if this was love....then how could it be
that she walked away from me so easily?
