Alone I am with nothing left to atone <br />Invaded by ill luck wading through my times <br />Heaven is this world when money is there <br />Hell is the same when nothing could be afforded <br />Money may avoid yet I can not be devoid of my dreams <br />For dreams are free and colorful too <br />In my dreams I wander through all the luxuries <br />Whatever I read whatever I heard whatever I see <br />I make them all happen in my dreams <br />My riches are tax free my luxuries are hassle free <br />My name makes the rounds my fame reaching heights <br />I go to places seen never before <br />I mix with people seen never before <br />Owning the house of my dreams in my dreams <br />Rejoice and enjoy I all through my life <br />A painful fall with a thud from my bed <br />Woke me up reminding me the shattered dreams <br />The stares of the devil known as reality <br />The claws of the Tiger called Times <br />Scares me a lot and hurts me a lot <br />Resigned to fate I bear that with a smile <br />Hoping for a colorful dream yet for another day<br /><br />Somanathan Iyer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dreams-are-free-and-colorful-too/
