Play my distant dream

 

Banality of dreams

Full of gloom and gleam

Horizons are wide open

To carry my distant dream.

I pampered in dark nights

Feeling the crafty tulips

In nature’s lap

For thou shall carry my distant dream.

Some puffed up

Holding my empty aims

In traces of ruined life

Thy carry my distant dream.

Pause on the howling sighs

Amidst cold waves

That carry my tins

While holding my distant dream.

Sour isn’t the sill

Life is but hollow

Carrying the muse

Of one distant dream.
