Translucent Dream Poem by Sanjukta Nag

Translucent dreams,
Beneath your colossal eyes,
Soaring through stardust
Beyond the mountain-highs.
A flick of sweet smile
On the corner of your lips,
Beauty is oozing from your face
I’m thirsty to take a sip.
I can feel soft breath
Rising from your heaving chest,
Too deep to plunge into
Tomorrow I’ll have some rest.
Moon rays are lapping us,
The clouds have undone illusion,
I can watch you all night long
Until birds tell us about the sun.
Your eyelashes may quiver lightly,
Limbs will be ready to stretch,
In the canvas of my heart
Hurriedly I’ll make a sketch.
Blue sky is upon the bridge;
If life acts like a river,
Let us flow down the streams
Clinging to each other forever.
