Desires Draped in Dreamscapes

By S. Fouzul Hidhaya

I wanted to get  admired by stars, 

When under the sky I’m crying on my scars .

I yearned to be dictated by the river that flows ;

And by the fireflies in the bank that glows ;

I desired to be heard by the dark forest in night ,

When I lack all the power to fight.

I wished to be read by the dove in the fountain ,

And to get healed by the peace of the mountain .

I hankered to be written in poetry in the old library ;

When the soldiers and warriors are in rivalry ;

I craved  to be protected in the oyster shell ,

Where the ecstatic blue pearl dwell .

I coveted to be hugged by the depth of the sea ;

Where I can cry in  hours of spree ;

I wished  to be touched by the clouds ,

Where my entire existence shrouds .

I desired  to be sung, by the musician,

Who sings in chorus about me, in definition .

I wished  to be carved as a statue ,

So the people recognise me, by my virtue .

I hankered to be a dream of an artist ;

So I can be an art that will exist. 

I wanted to be the therapy to the depressed ,

And be a ballerina to the impressed .

I longed  to be in Air and aura ;

And befriend fauna and flora ;

So even the death can’t find me ,

Even in the verge of dree .
