A peaceful slumber

A tranquil night,

and relaxing sleep,

resting the tired body

is everyone's need...

Yet, there are thoughts,

that are lurking beneath, 

conveying the messages,

of our subconscious mind. 

Love, lust, and beauty,

connections of real world,

bonds and devotions too...

Influences our thinking.

Faded from our memories,

they seldom last long,

but the ones, that's significant,

might even leave, lasting imprints. 

Home.... in the earliest of my memories,

in the center stage, of a pleasant dream,

an embodiment of deep-seated desire,

created in a fairy-tale setting.

The surrounding changed overtimes,

from meadow, river, oceans and lakes,

in the gatherings of people & wilderness, 

there's a sense of euphoria remains. 

Good things always come to inspire,

yet, in the shadows, lies dark stories,

throwing me in a dystopic environment, 

leaving behind, some haunting flashes. 

As if being smothered, gasping for breath,

being thrown in the void of nothingness, 

an idea, that emerged, brought to this state,

of being alone, floating in the outer space. 

It was indeed a mysterious phenomenon, 

where contrast appear, in my heart,

feeling the warmth, of a lovely home,

to being stranded, in the darkness of the unknown. 

So I wondered, for finding any meanings,

in beautiful dreams & bizarre nightmares,

for those unfulfilled desires, or feelings...

Interfering with my quest, of peaceful slumber.
