Last night I just woke up <br />Maybe in the early hours of the morning <br />And just had this urge to set out <br />On the rain kissed roads <br />As dark as the sky without any stars <br />Not a soul stirred <br />Except the wailing dog <br />Feeling his despair <br />Also the despair of the streetlights <br />Squeezed out of light <br />I drifted from street to street <br />From fog or was it smoke <br />SIlly me <br />How can it be fog at this time of the year? <br />Got lost <br />No one to ask directions <br />Nobody to ask me who I was <br />It started raining <br />Intense <br />Still moved on drenched <br />Could hardly see anything <br />Strangely no panic <br />A blurred vision of an arched doorway without a door <br />Slipped in <br />What a relief <br />Someone touched my shoulder <br />Screamed! ! ! and ran out <br />Running for my life <br />Panting <br />Wished I was a horse <br />That could just gallop away <br />Slipped and fell <br />Lost consciousnes <br /> <br /> <br />When I woke up <br />I was back in my room <br />Ahhh...it felt so good <br />The sun was high up <br />Felt like I had a hangover <br />Was it a dream? <br />It felt so real <br />Shook my head <br />Of course it was a dream <br />As I languidly stetched out <br />And looked down <br />On my pajama...saw a dirty mud stain and a tear? <br />Lifting it up... <br />A violet bruise looking nasty<br /><br />Renu Rakheja a.k.a Tranquil Ocean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/j-15-general-last-night/
