Dire Consequences of a dream
Dire Consequences of a dream
Sand felt mellow.
Sun felt mild.
Lying hushed on a beach,
With arms stretched wide
Basking in the subtle sounds-
The ballad of the forest orchestra,
The poetry of the comforting breeze…
Allured by me, inched towards me
The shy blue sea.
While I relished every breath,
Gentle fingers ran through my hair…
I saw her face…
As pretty as she was in our school days;
Donned an exotic velvety gown-
Hung off her shoulders by a thread…
She smiled and eased my mind…
God was kind.
“You look so divine, Jade…”
Words came out, involuntarily.
“Jade???”
The words were loud enough;
I shuddered with shock…
To realize
That all those good things
Were not for real…
To realize
That all this time;
I was dreaming on my girlfriend’s lap…

You need no appreciation for you should know that you are very good…
Dire consequences for telling such a dream, you should get a proper banging from your mom.
Very nice poem though.
Shreyansh…I think this is your best poem so far.It flows beautifully.The words are shining like gently twinkling stars ! Try more of free verse…it sounds more natural and free

Aah.will write something new soon.
haha! Loved the twist in the tale! But the starting few stanzas are so beautiful that you should use them for another poem, perhaps a love poem!! (exclude humour!)
You sure have variety!
