Tired and bored, I fell on the bed
Thoughts of chill heavy in my head
A dreadful long night it did seem
Soon I slipped into a wondrous dream
The day was dawning across the sky
Trees were waking with a shiver n’ sigh
The sky was bright, blue and clear
But for a few flakes here and there
High up I floated as if on a wing
Gliding on the wind and starting to sing
Is today the day, I mused aloud
Sweeping keenly through a shiny cloud
There you were on the soft horizon
Smile on the lips and arms wide open
Light blue eyes and cascading hair
Every breath filled with love and care
“Come here dear” I think you said
Leaping with cheer I plunged ahead
My quest finally came to a rest
In your kiss and gentle embrace
Lightly you carried me by your hand
Towards a blissful beautiful land
“Just you and me” you said in my ear
I nodded in the dream with a smile and tear
Abhay
