n' I Dream...


i dream of skies with countable stars
i dream of nights with fathomable shadows
i dream of blindness to see the distant
i dream of lepers without any scars

i dream of darkness with the light of the sun
i dream of vagueness with explicit definition
i dream of a land with no boundaries
i dream of people all colorblind

i dream of men who know to live apart from dyin
i dream of birds with broken wings flyin
i dream of women incineratin their dreams no more
i dream of hearts with more room than the house of the whore

i dream of streets named after strangers
i dream of dryness no longer flowin across the rivers
i dream of sweetness, sweeter than the taste
i dream of greenness, greener than the grass

i dream of math included in love letters
i dream of final acceptance of the m39 theory
i dream of readin the 15th line of a sonnet
i dream of knowin why few words have silent alphabet

i dream of bells when tolled for the newborn
i dream of hearin angelus amidst colossal ruins
i dream of stevedores finally unloadin the cargo
i dream of amputees unfurlin the flag

i dream of zoos with no isolated aliens
i dream of drugs that work forever
i dream of me never done with my reasons
i dream of a convict with no accusation

i dream of amnesiacs remindin me my birthday
i dream of insomniacs sleepin for a whole day
i dream of my headache when i accidently saved the world
i dream of havin a dream in my dream, keepin me dreamin even if i awake

i dream of holdin hands when i cross the busy streets
i dream of the glance you give when you come down the stairs
i dream of you walkin on the mangrove swamps
i dream of you finally lightin those empty lamps...

you write beautifully - sometimes delicate, evocative verse and sometimes anguish in the garb of syllables, consonants and vowels in an unchained melody.
sometimes i guess its just a luxury to be able to dream...

probably the strangest comment inscribed...but suits Strangers' Inc. anyway....for strange it is...for i've never heard the sky tellin the river that you're so blue....never heard the sun tellin the candle that you're so bright...never heard a peacock tellin an ugly duck that you dance so well....but if the broken melodies ain't broken enough to sing the bel canto....if unrhymed words ain't unrhymed enough to merge those correlations....then this ain't a token of my admiration for your appreciation...for this is the only way i'm taught to pull the trigger....

p.s. have a nice day!

hey stranger...looks like i have really pissed u off with my comments to the previous post...anyhow,i really liked this one and i like the comment u've sent to DC...beautifully written esp the lines that i've copied it again,below:-

"for i've never heard the sky tellin the river that you're so blue....never heard the sun tellin the candle that you're so bright...never heard a peacock tellin an ugly duck that you dance so well.."

Beautiful...I like your dreams!

desperado said...

some strange, some beautiful dreams
hope u keep dreamin to churn out these beautiful pieces

i remebered this bryan adams song frm ur dreams:
I had a dream - of the wide open prairie
I had a dream - of the pale morning sky
I had a dream - that we flew on golden wings

Apparently strangers do not take appreciation well or is it that you are being modest and whoa that was one helluva reply;-)
LOVED it.

"hey stranger...looks like i have really pissed u off with my comments to the previous post.."
not at all honey (well that honey part is a suggestion of my effort to convince you that i'm not at all pissed off)...but yeah..i was kind of choked!!..n' was only tryin to get some free air....not for your reply...but for my inability to react to certain situations...situations which are quite alien to me...like someone listenin to doors on side A of an audio cassette...n' then turns that cassette to hear back street boys on side B...which also might have suggested you that i'm not the one who doesn't read your posts....but often my inability to react to certain situations are often apprehended as my indifference....but my inability has got nothin to do with my likings or dislikings....for i always respect a difference of opinion...n' maybe i live on it...but wasn't commentin on your side...for my inability to merge those correlations.....n' whenever i'm gonna overcome that inability.....you'll find the precipitates.

@mirage -->> ..

n' i liked 'em too!...n' infact i liked your "Lost" too...n' for the record i posted a comment..infact twice...but i guess comments from the ones who are already lost are not taken by your blog...it never came up at the comment section....n' i never gotta know what went wrong...n' just gave myself this explaination..when i stopped myself from tryin to comment on a third attempt....that might be this happens just one of those places where strangers are not wanted!!!!

@dhruv -->> ..

thanks bro!...few words i never say...one of 'em is "thanks"...i feel it's some whore affair when i say it..kind of a payback....but you always kind of inspire me..for i'm not used at all of those pat in my back n' stuffs like that....n' i only wanted to give somethin to you in return..but i disgust myself for my inability to give you anythin in back for that kindness you shower all the times....i wish if you can forgive me for thankin you...for even though i want to give more...that's all i can give it to you.

p.s. that bryan adams stuff...is that the track from the album "spirit"? ....i vaguely remember when i bought that cd....i had a sizzler with a dear friend for the last time....n' i asked the waiter to play that cd..which he inserted in the bottom's up way...n' after a few inspectional efforts that cd was played n' i heard this song...n' i wonder why memories are always so distant!

@dc -->> ..

honestly...strangers are not used to appreciations...that too from somone who resides in those alleys of the zenith......if only you'd have given me dejections..my senses could have greeted 'em with a sense of belongingness!

p.s. yeah...i liked my reply too!

@manjari -->> ..

how 've you been manjari?

Dreamcatcher said...

*zenith* yeah right!and why dejection..
You have a great day too.
P.S. the comment you left on my blog ;-) :-) :-) if there was a blushing icon on blogger I would have used that!

Anjalika said...

u misunderstood me...i'm still the same,havn't changed my percepectives.."side A and side B"
and if u feel i've choked u....then i dn't mind lendin u some frsh air..
when u feel u had enough and ready to get another round of choke(lol)...let me know....till that time,i'll see off...i mean,giv u a break frm my tiresome comments...c ya and take care!!!!

Anjalika said...

(cont)
"ppl are strange,when u r a stranger......."
when u r strange no one remembers ur name.........

desperado said...

yep the song is frm spirit
thnks i guess has lost its meanin for u ( cant blame u as the word has just lost its feel)
but i still feel elated with just ur thnks

D'yer Mak'er said...

@dc -->> ..

why dejection?...why not!

if there was a blushing icon on blogger...
...but i can help you out... i can hand out an easter egg present in blogger which most bloggers don't know about!!!...if you make a cross in the right hand top corner of your screen with your mouse pointer 3 times...i repeat 3 times...the blogger association lets me know about it..you know that's a deal i've been with 'em..but i wonder why nobody blushes...as if everyone is stocked with anti-blushin pills...

@triplesix -->> ..

u misunderstood me...
..but then atleast....you can never say i never tried to understand you!!

i dn't mind lendin u some frsh air..
..n' i always thought you're so very generous in nature...n' you still believe i misunderstood...infact at times i feel i've understood you more than anyone else!!!!!!!

i mean,giv u a break...
..i've always told you...i love difference of opinions...makes me feel atleast i made a statement which someone needs to think about!...n' i almost hate samsung for they use what i wanna say now..that....."everyone's invited!"

p.s. the one you've quoted..."People are strange"..happens to be my favourite door track.
-----

@dhruv -->> ..

thnks i guess has lost its meanin for u...
...hmm..not really...for it has always been that way.

..n' hey my elated friend...i always feel the warmth when you stay around....just lemme know....that warmth gonna be there for a while or so...

Feel strange in this crowd,guess im used to being the focal point in the comment box in ur blog & now i see myself losing out to the others.
Boy!i was never known to be diplomatic with words,why else wud i say what i said just now.
Here's raising a toast yet again to those smashing lines that only u can write.
