Dreams of the mind
I saw a dream with open eyes
I believed it to be true…
It was colorful, it was bright
It was everything a dream ought to be
The days and nights melted together
The sunshine was perfect, the moon luminous
There was happiness and blessed peace
The pain in the heart suddenly stopped
The tears from the eyes never flowed
The past and future melded together
The body and mind welded together
There were smiles and laughter galore
I looked at my dream, so pure and true
Ordered from the heavens above
Everything was what I wanted so
There was ne’er a doubt nor a glimmer
Never did my soul have a shiver
Everything appeared perfect, everything warm
I didn’t think, I didn’t realise…
A thing so perfect is never real
The cracks appeared, the surface trembled
The dream appeared, moving far
I blinked, I ran
I followed the dream
I cried, I screamed
I pleaded and crawled
I did everything I humanly could
I ran through the forest
I ran through the plains
I ran through the mountains
I ran through the beaches
When I ran through the desert
I realized so
The dream stood still ahead of me
It looked foreboding and dangerous now
It blocked so I could no longer follow
I looked up at the daunting sun
I looked down at the heated sand
My eyes opened, my memory clicked
I realized where everything stood
I couldn’t believe, my legs couldn’t hold
My heart shattered a million pieces
My head with hundred thoughts
In such a time what I believed
The dream was nothing but a Mirage
So untrue and false
Ringing the shades of truth..
I loved truly as only a woman can
But was never loved back as I should be
The heart which spoke of true love
Was ne’er real, ne’er true
The trust I had on love thrown back
I was just a slice of time, forgotten forever
I saw a Mirage with open eyes
And I believed it to be true….
— a true heart is never false
a false heart, never true

People got fed up in nominating me as I do awards rarely so now I don’t get nominated… Hehehe. I would love answer your questions they seem interesting… But the setting up of logos, original links, linking you, linking next few bloggers… That’s the part where my brain stops. My brain “you are a doctor, ask me about anaesthesia for appendectomy not links for logos and nominations.” I am berated by my brain till I end up throwing my gadgets… Hence the snail pace for doing awards
