I Fear Sleep (An Old Poem Of Mine)

Hey guys,

I was just going through an older blog of mine (that I don't use anymore), and came across this poem that I once wrote. In fact, you can say it was one of the first poems that I had written, way back in 2008. I wasn't much of a writer then but ya, sometimes you do crazy stuffs. I too never knew I could write, until I started with this poem.

I agree it's simple and naive and childish, but very close to my heart...

Do let me know your thoughts on this :-)

I fear sleep
‘Cause it shows me dreams
Unreal dreams
Dreams too fascinating to be true
Dreams about me and you.

It was the last time we met
The last time we held hands
The last time we kissed
The last time you said I will be missed
The last moment of joy
The last pathos, the last cry
The last drop of tear
Falling from your eyes
And disappearing in my lips.

We promised to meet again
We promised to be together
To be inseparable, forever
I promised you the moon
And you replied too soon
"No I want the sun"
I tried bringing you the star
But you went away too far.

The summer heat
The September rain
The intense crowd
In the metro train
The long queues
The ticket counter
The myriad movies
We saw together
Those long hours
With hands clasped
Resting your head
On my shoulder
The silent whispers
Filling my ears
With countless dreams
I shudder to remember.

  1. Thanks for stopping by my blog, I am hardly getting time to give feedback these days, anyway..even though you said it was naive, I like your poem, particularly the closing lines..."with countless dreams, I shudder to remember"...Melancholic yet beutiful...seems very close to your heart, anything that comes from within will have a soul in it and your poem has.
    Keep it up !

  2. This poem looks a lot like a song, its quite a good lyrics, and am sure backstreet boys will do the needful if you hand this lyrics over to them, am not kidding, this surely is too good! An old poem revisited! Thoroughly intense feeling! Nice :)

  7. You know what? I loved every word in each line.
    You know why? Because it let me flow in the emotions you craved so wonderfully, I can't tell you how beautiful its is. It's not naive at all. it's the best I have read anywhere ever & no poem can reach the zenith you created with this poem. None of the bloggers can, not even in dreams according to me :)
