The Devious dream
Uma Maheshwari 1993 (Secunderabad)
O dream, give me the power to awaken,
As l stand amid the roar
Of a surf tormented shore.
Pining to hold your hand,
So far away, away in this mysterious and eerie land
O dream, give me the power to awaken.
As the lights of aurora hit your beautiful and prepossing face,
those hazel eyes, into which I want to fervently gaze
So far away, away in this mystifying and unearthly place.
As I gaze into such alluring and Orphic brown eyes,
there is an unanticipated cavernous passion in me that arises
O dream, give me the power to awaken and make it happen.
As my grieving heart capitulates to the gaze,
The mind plays a series of devious stratagems, as I dream again with amaze
So far away, away in this mysterious and unreal place.
Oh, no, make this dream depart,
my heart shall take no more, don't prise it apart
O dream, give me the power to awaken.
As much as I enjoy this feeling of pain,
there is a presentiment that it'll give me no gain,
So far away in this unearthly and out worldly place
I shall always wait for your absolute and palpable embrace.
