River of Dreams

River of dreams flow through my head

Inviting me to take a ride

A promise to deliver me to a beautiful land

Where I might find a nubile bride

I laughed at the suggestion

"I am an old boy", turn the dream off

I was not heard

There I was in a bride shop

I was a lucky man

Embarrassed, I walked to the first beauty

She said, ‘Boy, you hungry for more’

I replied, ‘the dream did the duty’

She said, ‘I would walk with you

Give me a promise.

Forget me when the dream is dead.

And don't ever be a doubting Thomas.’

I woke up light headed

Found myself on the bar floor

Dirt shirt and alcohol breathe

‘WE CLOSED’ hanging on the door

YOU

Your spirit pure and free
You shower happiness like monsoon
More humane than most
You mock the immortals
Each step lightly placed
You walk like a princess
The soft curls in you dark black hair
bounce at each step leaving me breathless
Your soft rosy lips
I wish I could kiss them always
Face so beautiful
Leaving me sleepless in the night
And restless for life

Crazy

I weaved some dreams crazy

Shed tears of sadness

Sleepless night spent

While the toad croaked and the drums played

Long dark nights endured

Just to see her morning smile

It could be done only for her

I hold this beautiful red stone heart

Symbol of pure love and friendship

Wishing if I could go back

And relive those days

The days that started with her smile

And ended with me falling asleep beside her

Her faint smile and hearty laughter

She shared in abundance leaving me rich

Slippers floating in air and the piano's tune

Happy making of a different kind

If I could ask God for one thing

I would ask for a million Her
