Kiss my eyes,
My eyes overflowing with dreams;
And make them come true,
Make every dream of mine true.
Crystal clear dreams,
Brittle dreams locked in crystal chalices,
Dreams like a beautiful mirror,
Showing only the truth and nothing more;
Dreams tall and divine like a minaret,
Dreams like a fountain,
Overflowing with hope…
Dreams like the raat ki rani,
Blooming only for the night,
And bidding farewell at dawn.
Half-seen dreams,
Swift dreams…drifting away like a puff of clouds,
And not revealing its story.
A burden of dreams,
Haunting my soul…
Making my mind restless,
Bidding adieu to elusive slumber.
As sleep gingerly creeps into my eyes,
Like a lover meeting his beloved in stealth;
The twinkling stars have already faded
To make way for sunshine,
But I’m lost in yet more dreams…
I wander in the vast city of dreams,
Disappearing through every rainbow,
Its colours merging into one another,
Each colour keeping its own dream,
To emerge and see yet another dream;
Tempting me to step into it
And go for the ride;
Into yet more unknown lands,
And strangers I’ll never meet.
Kiss my eyes, my beloved
And unburden me from love’s labour,
Free me from your love,
If love is only grief,
Set me free,
And let us part ways
To never meet again.
Dreams like the surface of a lake,
Always placid, never rising with a storm in its wake,
Your love is such…
That it makes me wonder
If it really is love
With no fervour and no madness?
Kiss my eyes, my love
That is my only dream,
I seek no other dream.
