Dreamland

Every night as I retire to sleep after my mundane chores,

I close my eyes , going into an inert state.

Though my body achieves quietude, 

My restive mind travels to a universe parallel –

A land of illusion that exists in the realms of fantasy.

The unspoken desires manifest and breathe with life.

I entangle myself and wallow in it for a few transient moments,

Synthesizing the scenes one after the other.

My subconscious mind realizes the forlorn impossibility,

However, my hopeless heart craves for the prolonged journey.

Once awake, I still delve in the world that secretly appeared,

And live yet another day in the real world with bottled up dreams,

Hoping that someday, at least a few would achieve the power to transform into a reality.
