The Dark Dream

At the dark hour

I stay awake

To see a crimson

Image of a story

Or a silhouette

Of my dream

That flows inside

Each and every stream

Of this kid heart

But Moon is absent

Just like the

Missing ray of hope

In my fantasy world

Where I breathe

Neither more nor less

Than 24hrs

And now, the heart

Shuts the door

For long and forever

As it lives between

Sunsets and sunrises

With no moonlight

Dreams mistaken it

And sleep forever

The stubborn dream

Of you and me

Ever-growing

Deviated from

The stage of life,

Afterlife

And now finally

It reaches

Permanent cessation
