ILLUSIONS

I used to think

If I can settle under your skin

I would blend in your veins

Unleash a river of emotions,

Flow that bind us

Unite us for eternity

——

If my heart beats next to yours

I would be within your reach

I won’t be rejected

I won’t be forgotten

——

If we build ourselves a home

Where only the echo of music

And children’s voices

Fill the rooms

We will be fortunate

——

I used to think

If you ever leave me

I would go to the end of earth

To find you

——

But it took a life time

To realise,

Some dreams

Are pure illusions

And we are —

A mere dancers of life

Holding onto a rope of sand
