You come and go

like fragments from a garbled dream.

A dream long forgotten.

A shattered dream.

You knock on my doors

and then run away.

Tap on my windows,

like playing hide and seek.

Banging on my walls

lunacy overtakes me.

You slip in with the wind

and tease me.

You seesaw with (my) reality.

Then, I catch your glimpse

in a broken mirror,

a cracked heart

and a memory.

You happen, then un-happen

like love like ecstacy.

You're the reality all night long

and then a faint memory.

It's hard to forget someone that nestled within your heart for a time with such meaning. After I graduated high school many years ago, there was a girl I couldn't get out of my mind for over ten years. I till think about her from time to time although the power of her ha faded. Good poem.

Thank you for your review. :)

how hauntingly sad. There is a desperate poignancy to this, a breathlessness and that feeling that constricts one's throat when on the verge of tears.

[Mehak Mushtaq]

Wow, thank you for this heartfelt review.

Wonderully penned Mehak. Your words are so very beautiful and real, as if I am in a conversation with you and that makes this great. It has been a long time since I have seen you here...actually too long friend. Very nicely done.

[Mehak Mushtaq]

I'm so glad that you liked it. You're always very kind dear friend. :) I've missed your reviews.

Some dreams do tend to drive us to the brink, when our subconscious takes over at night it can be difficult to separate the dream from reality until it fades from our memory. Nicely pen'd Mehak.

[Frieda P]

Always my pleasure Mehak. :-)
