Day 4: Dreams

How do I write about the dream?

I'm sure, I had many.

'coz that's the world I see,

when I close the eyes,

my unknown fantasy.

Do I see another reality,

or a realm mundane?

it's a world with anything possible,

and void of any pain.

I've been to places

with unparalleled scenery

Those glorious white peaks

dancing with greenery

I've laughed many laughs

killing time with utmost glee

so close to my loved ones

whom I don't meet in reality

I've won many a battles

and achieved the impossible

Done those things with ease

which in life are impractical

The world there, is a happy place

such dreams have been many

then why is it so, that

I don't remember any?

Then there were dreams

Too embarrassing to share

these are the ones recurring

but I'd keep them a private affair

All the nightmares since childhood

I somehow distinctly remember

and they still manage to scare me

and I can't help, but surrender

The happy ones make my body glow

even the weird ones are fair

I just wish the nightmares

never do re-occur.
