Dreams Poem by Gayathri Sukumaran

I felt my eyes being closed
As the beginning of a dream, in another world
A dream that came unforced
When my eyes made a fold

A dream that fulfilled my dreams
A dream that left behind the tears of past in streams
A dream that made me curious to find
The strange workings of my mind

I closed my eyes to wait
For the world that is now my mate
The world which, in reality, I wish would happen
And a world weak enough to vanish when my eyes open
