It Was Dream Poem by S.D. TIWARI

I had got two large wings

flying reached to the jungle

No, those were not my wings

I was riding back of an eagle.



We landed in a splendid valley,

a heaven like alluring place.

Leaving me there on my own,

soon, the eagle flew away.



I was viewing the exquisiteness

of the valley and the mountain;

appeared a demon and asked

how u dare to be in my region?



I knew, he had mystical powers

and will not leave me alive.

May my trick work on it

to escape, better I should try.



I gathered strength and told

him boldly that's not my fault.

It was your competitor demon

who had forcefully brought.



OK you stay here, I will look

who is the rascal, will chase out.

As he went off I overheard,

to the son, his wife's shout.



I am smelling here a human

I love to eat the human flesh.

Go and find out where is he;

I will cook it, quickly fetch.



Son told mom! I have brought

some from the nearby village.

Cook that one, let us reserve

this man for some other day.



Better we finish the flesh

that I have brought, first.

Till then we would keep him

shut in that outer old hut.



I became completely scary

when listened to their whisper.

Soon, I heard to the noise of

whistling of pressure cooker.



Had to go on his duty, early

in the morning my neighbour.

His shift started by six O'clock

he was the police inspector.
