A place for me to speak-out. A chance for my soul to seek...
' Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue, the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet;
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams '
- William Butler Yeats

HIBERNATION RESUMED....
I should've told you I loved you. But why? It'd all still be lost.
Maybe I was too scared, maybe not enough grown;
Maybe too blown.
Blown away, I mean, to claim you as my own.
But out of nowhere, you walked out the door;
Figuratively speaking of course, and left me poor.
But I didn't shed a tear.
I focused instead on trying to steer clear,
Clear off memories of you I held so dear.
But I'm still here.
Holding my beer?
Dreams - Why do we Dream ???
Why do we dream? Why is it that we ( and by we, of course, I mean I) clamber upon these perches and look carefully into the distance separating the reality from the magically unattainable and then proceed to nurture them?
Why the need to ask for more than is possible? Why do we dare to see what we may not voice, for fear of being ridiculed, for shame at such wild fantasies or for silence in return for luck.
Why do we dream? Why do we look beyond the boundaries upto which we push ourselves and then no more. Why do we ask for that which we do not see? Is it the hope that sustains us or the promise of fulfillment?
Do we dream for a better state of affairs or do we dream of actual fulfillment?
And why do we dream?
And why do I dream? If, as stated above, in the mornings, I can never recall what the fuss was all about. And if, every morning, reality beckons.
