A Lucid Dream

In a dream I saw,
I was in woods, dark and dense.
Not much I could see, I got scared,
I heard malignant laughters and horrifying cries.
A pool of hot lava, ferocious animals,
poisonous fangs, atrocious eyes of hungry crocodiles.




I ran very fast, came out to plains.
There was a girl standing on the other side.
I went near to see her face,
dry hot air was blowing,
drying her wet eyes.
I asked her, "Who are you"?
She answered, "An old forgotten friend."



She lowered her beautiful face and then rose again with a captivating smile.
She hugged me tightly, I hugged her back.
I asked again, "tell me your name, I don’t remember you"?
She didn’t answer.
I enquired, "at least tell me, why you were crying?"
"Because you were not here", she replied.
"I am sorry", I said and hugged her again.


She held my hand and asked me to follow her.
She walked towards the same dark place I feared.
A dense forest again, but this time silent.
We continued exploring,
A beautiful lake, we saw, flowers and butterflies,
Swans swimming and deer nibbling small leaves.
Serenity and divinity all around,
in brightness of her face now I could see  a paradise.



"I have to leave now", she said.
"Please don't leave!! Stay with me forever?” I requested.
"We will meet again", she promised while landing a kiss.
That sensation I felt, no words can describe.
With a heavy heart, we bid farewell to each other.
I saw her going towards the plains again,
disappearing slowly into the woods.
Her scent I still remember, enchanting and seductive.



 
Sky turned grey again, I felt hot and humid.
I turned back to see, everything delightful was already gone.
Horrified, I ran again to the plains to see if she was still there,
I tried very hard but failed to find.
"Where are you?” I looked towards the sky and cried.
Sweet melody I heard and her voice asking me to wake up.
My phone was ringing, I picked up the call.
Can't explain the feeling, when I heard the same sweet voice.
