Let Me Dream Poem by Akhtar Jawad

My Dear Brain! Please don’t disturb,
My heart is busy in dreaming,
Eye lids are closed,
But I am not sleeping,
I am a day dreamer,
I dream and I know very well,
My dreams may not come true,
Still I dream.

I want to live in dreams,
Death is painful,
I know standing at the shore of death’s ocean,
I shall dream to cross the ocean,
I shall dream to find a new island of life,
I know it’s merely a dream,
What can I do?
Man can never get rid of hope,
And hope leads to a dream,
A beautiful dream of a garden,
Where there are canals,
Where there are fountains,
Where there are flowers and fruits,
Where there are charming fairies,
Swimming in a river coming down on the plains,
From high mountains,
With streams of love,
Falling down on the earth,
My lovely earth,
With her stretched arms,
Waiting for the infant,
For another breast feeding,
In order to help the infant,
To grow and select a pink fairy,
And repeat the same old story of love,
Love, a journey of life to death!

But all these are means,
Means to get peace of mind,
And if my dreams can provide peace to me,
Let me live in dreams,
And let me die in dreams,
My dreams give me peace,
I am hopeful,
My dreams will help me,
And make my death really peaceful!
And if I truly find a new island,
The smiling lips of my beautiful heart,
Will not be reluctant,
To smile and kiss you,
My ugly brain!
