The dream I knew

 

Flower's adorning that backyard... 

And it was me standing on the balcony... 

Waiting for someone I know... 

And he would appear soon across those trees of mahagony... 

 

Fragrances and clouds were all I remember... 

And that was when,  my heart starts beating faster.... 

How much I was in love I still wonder... 

Is it just a dream that flashes in my sleep every night like a thunder...? 

 

I feel like oscillating between two different worlds.. 

As if some memories of a yester life keep on disturbing  my soul...

I recognise the pain of departing from the shield I endured on my way ... 

I see myself descending from the stairs of my nest from my earlier stay... 

 

And as I descend from the stairs of my nest... 

I see some hazy faces sobbing across the doorway towards west... 

But the moment I try to look closer at them... 

My sleep betrays me leaving behind my soul,  keep on searching for its real name...
