Sun-tan Dreams

Beneath the midnight blue,
on sandy shores I sleep,
where lions assault for free,
and lambs silently weep,

Caged and sun-tan dreams,
fuel an incessant fear,
wrapped in stripped Kaftan,
a fruitless desire sear,

to hug those stranded moments,
left on fate’s mercy,
a lesson life teaches well
is – smiles don’t come easy.

And one day my mandolin,
will play a tune so strong,
your heart might break with joy,
subliming all that’s wrong.

  1. "where lions assault for free,
    and lambs silently weep."
    One of my favorite lines because I can totally relate those lines to today's society.
    BEAUTIFULLY written, Rajlakshmi.

  2. i like the hope of future song such as that…
