A strange dream

A strange dream

I was dreaming of a blissful place,

having no pain or even its trace,

riding a horse for the first time ever,

with utmost ease of doing forever.

Oh, yes, it was just a dream,

yet, it filled my head upto brim,

like all of it was happening for real,

wasn't there the sky so bright and clear!

Not a single mortal was around except a girl,

looking towards me with those eyes, like dark black pearl.

I stopped the horse about to jump,

she just stood there like a big stump.

Just then I heard a distant sound,

saying something like wakeup you big hound.

I ignored it yet looking for source,

just then, it repeated its course.

Then, I remembered it to be the wakeup alarm,

as all surroundings dissolved losing its charm.

I stopped the alarm and tried to get up,

but it seemed a plan to stop me was setup.

I put my hands on both side and pushed myself up,

But on the way, it stopped cooperating and just gave up,

I started falling into oblivion with feeling of weightlessness,

as I hit the pillow and sought her back in embrace.

Oh, how wonderful it seemed, to be back to the place,

watching obviously towards that brightly lit face.

Hadn't I reached that so called heaven,

watching each other constantly like a raven.

I really didn't want it to end for ever,

but again I heard a voice so severe.

I was abruptly pulled of the ground, floating away,

as my mum pushed me off the bed and started her say.
