Today i had a dream about you
It started with the way your eyes shuddered beautifully when you smiled
you smiled for you saw me after a very long time
then slowly and artfully your eyes found mine
they turned into magnets as I was pulled by your side
You were not withdrawn, you were not shy
you said all those words that had never seen the light
neither did I deny myself the right
to open those floodgates and express my desire
for the first time in all our time
we didn't hide our love behind white lies
you said I was yours, I said you were mine
the sweet weight of the words that had been hidden since months
came crashing down, like rain after the scorching burn
the truth lay bare, we were both aware
of a love that we both had, to each other, selfishly denied
but now that we knew
every second together was a boon
the light caught your smile,
your eyes
danced for the hundredth time
the sun caught my smile, one glance
at you and I died
You hugged me really tight
it was the best day of my life
we stayed like that through days and nights
until my eyes opened wide
and you, you were not sleeping by my side
t'was a dream, an illusion all along
yet i smiled, the brightest smile in a while
after a while i saw your face
in my heart you had taken a place
my insides burned with the remnants of a blissful dream
hiding the turmoil,i gave you a silent greet
we laughed and rolled and played and balled
friends in the real world,lovers in our dreams
i looked in his eyes, he looked back at mine
but unlike our dreams, we silently resigned
Hugs in our dreams became accidental touches in this life
we knew the words of confessions by heart
yet our words,before even taking birth, died
we denied ourselves any and all rights
too scared of what the future might hide
tried and tried to subdue our desires
our tongues were held captive
yet, our eyes didn't ever lie
through time, they just danced together
and said all that we ever needed to silently know.
so he knew and i knew and the world knew
but he never told me and i never told him
and that is how the best thing in my life became my curse
actions, how little they matter
when the truth is left unacknowledged
when the words are left unsaid
when denial is choking the air
so we were, are and will ever be the most wondrous tale
Friends in the real world,lovers in our dreams!

DEAD FEELINGS
PoesíaPenning down the extravaganza of thoughts that waltz in my head each day. Some dead, some alive, some barely breathing, but each one of them complete in it's isolation Some glooming, some blooming, some reflective and true, Some shrouded in shadow...
