Dragon Flies

I once wrote
on the walls
of my diary
“… left me walking in circles,
… alone”
he needed not look
behind the curtains of dreams
where a little girl hopped around
in her white frock
chasing the dragon flies
Now it is I
who has taken those curtains off
Now the dreams fall
before my open eyes,
and I see…
I see you and I
with our dreams
in the palms of our hands
mingled in rainbow colours
as we hold each other
There is only you and I…
…. us
in the world of colours
and you grab my hand
and say
“Look Asima, a dragon fly…”
… come and have a peek,
there is a boy and a girl
running around
chasing the dragon flies.
