Illusion - a poem by Bikranta

Written by Bikranta Bikram Kharel

I saw you coming nearer with a tear in my eye,
My eyes were wet, for i had dreams so high.

My hands stretch to hug you,
when i say your face, I ran towards you,
but again hugged the empty space.

I cry inside with pain but nobody hears,
you come with hope and wipe my tears,
you touch me with love and I try to be cool,
I rub my eyes, but again illusion makes me a fool.

When I walk alone in the strange land,
I feel you beside me holding my hand,
for a second, lost love and joy are things I bear,
My tears know no limit when you again disappear.
