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.
