Reckless Dreamer Series

I spent all my life recklessly dreaming for an art of chivalry to walk up to me and carve out my fate. 

Often I'd dream about this miracle to come my way and save this damsel in distress. And as I'd lose myself in him I couldn't differentiate between reality and dreams. Schizophrenic? Or a love-sick-crack-head? Or maybe just -

A Reckless Dreamer.

Lying awake at nights,

Just to match up with the distance between you and me,

And falling asleep

Just to rise in your dreams.

For your love is just another scarlet illusion

A beautiful one though

Playing tricks with the heart of a damsel 

Hopelessly waiting for you.

In these mindless dreams,

I have your embrace around me 

As you start taking me away from this mundane world

Through the midst of the colourful horizon

To a world just made for you and me.

And then fate plays it's tricks again

As this reckless dreamer wakes up,

Only to realise-

"It was just a dream!"

I would often gaze at the sun and try to imagine how far I could be from "the one". 

And one day he was almost here. Though million miles away, his letters convinced me that I wasn't just trying to verisimilitude my dreams. He was real. Untouchable, yet real. And I couldn't help falling for him. It felt like diving from the unattainable skyline into unwonted meadows. As then you wrote to me the epitome of love, sailing through the oceans and the midst of the colourful horizon  afar. And right when I was losing grip, you made me believe, 

That I was-

With you.

Worlds away is where I belong

Timid waves and clear skies

That hold between them the seven shades of live.

I couldn't see them with my reluctant eyes

Until you told me, 

I was with you.

I was falling again

Because of the tempestuous flood

When you suddenly changed the despairing clouds

Into pleasant zephyr and renewed vows.

And now I'm fully there,

In your heart,

With you.

    That marked a beginning of something new. It's like And as we grew closer and fonder, we found ourselves intertwined in the tangles of 

Words.

Levelling thoughts transformed as words

Distinct love disguised as lust,

Thirsty eyes relentlessly trying

To find the right words to make this ours.

Prudent minds that won't concede it

Slyly marvelling the sparks we feel,

And still we keep levelling things

By stealing breaths with felicitous speech.

And in the haste of chase to know a little more

We lost ourselves in the twist of words,

And so lost we were that we forgot the world

We accidentally confessed the words of love.
