I Want my Dreams back



Every night in my dreams
I found solace in the world of my fictional realities,
Figures of my impossibilities in the possible life
Of mine.
There exist two ends for me,
Life with in the dreams and in the reality.
At the age of my ego and unsettled mind of
Reasoning and calculation,
I preferred the world I live in and the events I can see and feel.
Beauty of impossibilities and unfinished attracted me,
For, there I found the beauty of imperfection,
I loved imperfection.
Dreams helped me to satisfy all my needs and wants,
I became a super hero, nothing was impossible for me.
I lived all the professional status, marital status, economical status
And geographical status,                                     
Living across the seven seas and mountains
My life was thrilled and thrilled.
On the bed, feasting my eyes and body with the sun light
And the sound of worldly effects,
I left me somewhere in the unknown lands
Or in the unknown memory of some man or woman.
Every night, every night my memory became the part of some anonymous
Memory and lives. I lived in all the possible memories of my
Figures in the dreams, never completed and never back,
I cursed my dreams for clowning me.
I took an oath- never dream that they cheat you.
Separating my dreams from my physical world, I welcomed
The conditionality of my physical world and life.
Now I don’t dream.
Rags of time pass by me and I witness them,
For, I have nothing to do with them.
I have no dream now, and I don’t live now, for,
I flight with the current of time.
In my dreams I loved beautiful, exquisite, timeless and delectable maiden
Of my favorite lands of this earth.
I lived with them forever and ever in peace and love.
Where are they? I have left me in their memories,
I have to meet them and I want my dreams back.
I cry and lament on the fate I married myself,
I left my dreams back for the sake of my philosophies and theories
Which I have designed under the lustrous smile of the academia.
I see puzzles, undefined structures, lines, curves, dots, structures made of lines and puzzles in my sleep.
Where are my beautiful dreams, girls and lands?
I don’t find me or any of my beautiful memories in the vision of lines and puzzles.
Is it a puzzle for me to get back in to my dreams,
where my memories are still alive?
I was wrong, for I never lived physically in my dreams,
I kept them away from my physical life and world.
I have nothing, but my ‘I’s.
I wait here, in the pace of time and lives, for my dreams,
Like a lost love I lament and curse on the day when I said good bye to my dreams.
I want my dreams, I pray for my dreams,
I need them back with me,
For I live in the memories of …

Hindolam: S

When someone is taken away from you, you realise how much you need that person. The universe took 'him' away from her and she wasn't ready to give up yet. She needed to get back to 'him', to her world. That was the only thought that crossed her mind, it consumed her. Her fear, perplexities and doubts vanished, this was the moment she figured out what she really wanted. She realised that she knew it all along. She loved 'him' so dearly that she wouldn't leave 'him' for anything in the world.  She told him, "I belong to 'him'. No matter how intensely you love me, I will love 'him', not you. Because it was a promise for a lifetime. Even death can't do us apart. Let me go. I have to go back to 'him'. I know I'm hurting you but 'he' needs me. And do you know how ardently I love and admire 'him'? As much as you love me, if not more. And 'he' loves me much more than that also. ” His moist eyes...

Rage

Rage, rage, rage! Rage unto the roaring skies and rob the mighty waves of light; And sound the clash of Titans. Bring me them in the arc, I shall drink them to the less. Ah, my Angels and Devils,  Rage unto the eternal fire and waters, I shall blow the west wind and chariot unto the Eastern skies. I carry the unquenched fire and sound the trumpet of war. They devoured Prometheus's liver, Defiled Hypatia upon Caesareum's altar, Stripped by oyster shells, Bathed in the blood of Jesus, the Nazarene. I bury them. Yes, I bury them. I see the reversal of the time-  Those who walk on land shall return to their origin. The slave of the past, Bearer of forefathers' sins, Shed your blood, find solace in your shadows, As they demand the return of your sins.           Show me your hands           For, they drop blood            and wipe the stains of sins they p...

Kundera

Emerging from the lampshade, a nocturnal butterfly fluttered erratically, startled by the sudden overhead light. As I closed the book, the strains of a distant piano and violin drifted weakly from below. Lost in contemplating the butterfly's flight patterns, I found myself entranced. Kundera, sensing my bewilderment, remarked on the rhythm, the highs and lows of the musical strains below. He spoke of the interconnectedness of each note, emphasizing how even the pauses between them contributed to the symphony's beauty. I was drawn to the profound silence, where a symphony was meticulously orchestrated. Interrupting my reverie, she snatched the book from my chest, exclaiming, "What are you reading?" I could only respond with an "Ah!"
