Neptune dreams

Last night I dreamt

we sprouted wings

flew around the Moon towards Neptune

in our little shack on the ‘ice giant’

I brewed pots of tea

we sipped watching the moons….

In the pale light, your eyes

kindled embers to a roaring flame

and I was no longer the ice maiden.

    In the pale light, your eyes
    kindled embers to a roaring flame
    and I was no longer the ice maiden.

    Poetry can always say it better than prose!

  3. Wings carrying us onwards
    We are rendered lighter
    By our spirits soaring upward
    Our passions burning brighter

    Me: :) Nice.

  11. Enamoured by the power of those eyes,
    which could melt even the maiden of ice.
    But when it becomes the hour of sunrise
    Ah! It is only a dream she sighs.

    Publish! :)

    Me: You took the words out of my mouth it seems, or rather my thoughts.
    Err… Govind, I really don’t mind! Will you, I mean publish??! :P
