DREAMS ALWAYS DIE

Hey dream!

Why do you run away?

Why do you wake me

and leave me thirsty

Yes you run away so fast

That by the time I am awake

Nothing lasts

Just a bit of taste

you leave behind

Either sad or happy

I myself find

Hey dream

stay for some time

Let me see

your complete form

Why are you so moody?

Sad I feel

when it was a romantic reel

I moving with my hero

And you erase my memory to zero

Are you

a psychopath killer

Who turns things

into a thriller

And then suddenly lights the screen

And pop! Goes my dream

With years I did try

to hold on to you

Half awake and half sleepy mode

is how I grew

Still you escaped my grip

Easily from my hands slipped

I really do not know

how to you

mend

Determined I am

to see you once

till the end

At times

I feel,

that too,

will be my end

Never to rudely awake

Never will I quake or shake

See a complete dream with no break

Will be a peaceful deadly sleep

In dreams engrossed deep

Either a hell or heaven

it will be.
