Love and Live

Love and live

I had a dream last night,

I somehow was able to catch your flickering sight,

You were wearing a beautiful white,

And shimmering like star light so bright.


As I was trying to get your clear and closer view.

Something was pushing me away from you.

I was trying real hard, to let me go.

But, I couldn’t come out of its claw, for I was still in tow.


I was not sure then, may be it was my death.

Words were but wasted breath.

I had so much to say to you,

I had so much to do for you,

I had so much to show you,

I had to make you believe in the love I have for you.

But it seemed like it was an adieu.


But I had to try, for this couldn’t be the end.

The life I imagined, is half written and yet to be mend.

I couldn’t fulfil the promise I made to be with you forever,

To follow you till the end and wherever.


We still had to travel the whole world together,

I still had to kiss you, for longer and ever.

I still had to see you dream, as you achieve them and knit.

I still had to make love to you and your every bit.


But it seemed, I was running out of time.

This feeling of incompleteness, covered me in layer of grime.

I could only then apologise,

As my body, hopes and dreams dies, 

Seemed like, I was giving up and closing my eyes.

To start a journey away from all cries and lies, into the vast skies. 


And suddenly I woke up with a stroke, or was I in trance?

Oh! It’s a dream and bit of mind’s dance.

But now I see life from a different stance.

Like I am reborn and given a second chance.

To finish, what I am left to do.

“To love and live for you”.
