My first amateur attempt towards poetry!!

"Slumber Visions"

She stands still surrounded by the fragrance of love;
secrets buried deep down her heart,
Dreading the world and the reactions of her family;
Yet i know there's an incessant rise in her feelings for me!!

Feelings that i too reciprocate,
i'll have to voice my emotions before it's too late!!

I planned to meet her and nurturing hopes
followed her to the sea,
The place was calm and serene;
complementing the deep expressions
that her eyes bore,
The only sounds were of the waves
rushing to the shore!!

I gathered courage and went near her,
Maybe my words could make her talk;
In an instant she disappeared
and the waves went back!!

With a shock i opened my eyes,
The place was familiar but still
i heard myself scream;
I realised then it was the same recurring dream!!

Why did i not gather the words that fell from her eyes everyday;
I know i'll gather flowers for her grave even today!!
