Yesterday was a..............

by Shruti Mittal   Oct 16, 2006


I slept,
and I slept for so long,
Everything I saw was so beautiful,
Everything I did,
oh! That was so unforgettable,
But suddenly I woke up,
And I felt my heart sink
at that faded glimpse ,
for it was nothing else,
but just a few precious dreams.

Today I introduced myself to reality,
God ! that was so harsh and rude to me,
It gave nothing to me but pains,
It took away all my smiles,
Left me with blood
rushing through my veins,
It was such a tough moment,
to think...
Yesterday was a beautiful dream.

I was amongst so many friends then,
But today I find myself all alone.
Life is throwing stones at me,
I miss that soft bed I used to lie upon.
but then forgetting everything
I say to myself,
and to no one else
that...
Yesterday was sweet but just a dream..

Now I am learning
to live in present,
without those dreams,
those beautiful sweet dreams,
When I had everything I wanted
When I was into my seventh heaven
But,
but now I stand
staring at my empty hands
because now I realize,
that..
Yesterday was a BROKEN ��dream��..!!!

    I like the reality of this poem as well as the dream-like quality.It is very well written with much emotion and meaning.A true revelation.Yesterday is gone, tomorrow does not exist-there is only the now.

    Peace, Poetry, & Power,
