A dream-1

I can remember everything
As, it is in front of my eyes
It was the sound of the footsteps
Which made a hope in me
My eyes started wandering
And my heartbeat kept increasing

I slid the curtains apart
And wide opened the window
The freezing wind gushed into our room
Loosening my hair to a mess
It was drizzling outside tenderly
Drenching me with its whistling breeze

All the trees waved to me
And the moon sang songs for me
Still my eyes were wandering
Not finding what it wanted to see
My thoughts raised with heartbeats
Panic I became with time passing by

The pendulum struck twelve
The sound echoed over and over again
I did sweat in that chilling night
And the sadness lowered my head
My heart became heavy
And my eyes were filled with tears

Oops! a hand encircled my waist
The same rough hands of my love!
A shock passed like thunder
Piercing my heart with love
His lips neared my neck
And I held him closer

Even in the dark his eyes were the same
Sharp like diamonds, filled with care
He was almost sunk in water
And raindrops dripped from his hair
His face came closer to mine
Till I saw myself reflecting in his eyes

The cold hands were tightening
And I felt the warmth of his breath
A raindrop dripped from his hair
And rolled down over his wet lips
My hair flew on his face
Still he kept looking into my eyes

I felt my heart beating very loud
And I could hear his too
He held my face in his caring hands
My eyes got shut by it's own
His soft lips came nearing mine
And the windows shyly shut themselves

The breeze ceased for a moment
The trees became still and quite
The moment he kissed me
I lost my senses forever
Silence conveyed a lot of love
And it went like that for long

Did the clock strike again?
None of us heard that
But I did hear that big thunder
Which turned out to be my clock
Till I got my senses
I was stun and motionless

Well! All that was a dream?
Wow! I am still out of breath
Who will mind such a dream?
Yes, I see this again and again!
But if dreams came true...
My smiles would have been truer
