Not Just A Dream I Dreamt Poem by Umasree Raghunath

Deep down in my heart
you are the best piece of art!
A thought to keep me in tact
making you an endearing fact
Life taught me to forget
the little tragedy that I did get
with the love I bestowed on you
this is something to me very new
Yet, I have strength to bid adieu
for in love to you, I cant be one among few
Let me life if I can cherish your thought
or die in peace if I am unable to forget

Deep down in my heart
you the most beautiful art
Painted with true colors of love
cherished in heart always and now
If life had given you for me to adore
it will also give me scope to adjourn
you from my heart, soul and mind
and will vanish before you search to find
for if my absence would give you peace
I wish to go beneath earth with 6 feet piece
For if my feelings for you is true
let life unfold its charm which is new
If I am not right, let God hug me tight
If i lose this, fight, let life get to its might
you are not just a dream I dreamt
but sincere life as a friend I did meant
