IN DREAMS

IN DREAMS 

***********

People say that dreams are

Colourful, black and white

I, too, view

Colourful dreams

People say --dreams

Express emptions of your heart

I, too, view

Pleasant dreams.

You are not able to forget

Those, whom you don't remember

They too, visit in your dreams

Abruptly, like high -tide

Then why, I don't ever have

Smeared in your aura of smell

Lovely, fragrant dream

Often I muse

Why you never come

To embrace me in my dreams.

Many a times, taking along your reverie

On my pillow

Covering my face with sheet

Caressing my bedsheet

I confine myself 

In embrace of sleep.

Even then

You never came to  me

In my dreams.

Just like it, the God too, never came to me

In whose worship, I indulge all day and night.
