My Loving Ernie, Poem by Aftab Alam

A wretched boat on the chaotic ocean searched the shore
“Life is better than dream; save it first then, clean the gore, ”
Having glimpse of sand, steered boat with the greatest joy,
From the death trap to dream world; seen a wounded boy

He kissed the shore and then took, handful sand in his fist
And ran shouting; I won, I’m alive, life is the best holy feast
Those struggled for the life can define life in dreamy way,
With heavy lids, I hugged him with no words; I couldn't say

He whispered in my ear, ” Soon I will start my journey “
Go, be a dream, blessing be with you; my loving Ernie,
