Tear my aged loneliness <br />Into bits and unfurl a fresh leaf <br />On which I can write again <br />A new song and recite it <br />While relishing in your arms <br /> <br />Hold my hand in yours <br />As one and lead me <br />Into the euphoric throng <br />Let’s get lost in the carnival night <br />Like young lovers on their first date <br /> <br />Break the prison of darkness <br />Show me the dawn <br />Coming up in your eyes <br />Flashing keen desire beams <br />Drench me in the insatiable light <br /> <br />Scan me like I was a book <br />Every inch of me you read <br />If I fail to speak a word <br />Just lift them off from my lips <br />And become familiar with me <br /> <br />Touch and burn me to ashes <br />And dissolve me in the Ganges <br />Of your love, grant me deliverance <br />In your squeezing embrace <br />And release my caged feelings <br /> <br />Return me to my usual sleep <br />On the bed of seclusion <br />The daybreak is nearing <br /> I will soon be awake <br />From another unforgettable dream.<br /><br />Seema Aarella<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unforgettable-dream/
