Dream of a dream, the best one,
To put you to sleep,
Perhaps the ocean or the night sky?
Perhaps the melted chocolate
Of a one rupee eclair
Perhaps the chicken masala maggi
That comes once a month
To your nearest shop
Perhaps the three wheeled cycle?
With no expectation of experience
Dream on the dream that makes you sleep,
In the nights cluttered by the day's torment
Dream of your favourite barbie,
Of clothes you want her to wear for yourself
Dream of the prince and princess
Their love intertwined with ours
Dream on.
You dream, as I write them
In small words and easy sentences
To wrap them in a cloth and put under the pillow
Ma says it keeps the ghosts away
You dream, I dream of you
Like an old school romance
