Just A Dream Poem by Joen Coronel

Today I was bothered fast
By an alarm that didn't last
I was awakened, she’s gone!
And left my house with things undone!

Packed the stuffs I’ll carry
And be ready for a journey
I conditioned myself for a while
Then began walking an endless mile

First, I traversed the Amazon rainforests
Just to find you, my toughest test
Though beasts and tribes are chasing
I've searched, but I ended up nothing and running!

Nearly hopeless yet I soon landed
Sahara desert though Im half-dead
I roamed the vast land under the scorching heat
You’re not there again, so I lose my heartbeat

My cold nostalgia chilled me longing
Yet I've arrived in Antarctica, panting
Amidst blizzards and hailstorms, I laid a vow
That how harsh fate is, I won’t give up somehow

Finally I set sail to Pacific Ocean
Swam the azure water with sharks and crustaceans
Dived to the darkest bottom to seek a light
A light of yours, my delight

I ended up nothing after the journey
Like losing in a tourney
Then suddenly, a soft hand touched my back
I shed tons of tears, she came back!

I thought I was forever cursed alone
My broken chords were finally toned
As this girl tuned my life to 123 hertz
To the flawless rhythm of our beating hearts

One day, we agreed to jump off the cliff
To prove our love til death, in a mid-air drift
About to fall headfirst, we held hands and screamed
Then I woke up and realized it was just a dream! !
