Erudite Roulette: Dancing Dreams - TM Pujashree, Infosys Toastmasters

This post is special - the original nominee could not complete it, and TM Pujashree finished it in a matter of hours.

I can hear, the creaking swing outside, waiting for me...
I can hear, the slow heartbeat fluttering away,
I can hear, the voices begging me to run..to be free
I can hear my dancing dreams fading away....

I can see, the glorious night sky streaming with lights,calling me
I can see, those tears that you hurriedly wiped away..
I can see, my feet trapped inside the layers of filth and dirt
I can see, my dancing dreams slowly turning away...

I can touch, the blood laden wounds that refuse to heal..
I can touch, your hand shivering yet refusing to let go..
I can touch, your once pretty face, devoid of a smile..
I can touch, my dancing dreams slowly taking shape...

I can say, those words that are trapped inside your heart
I can say, those words that will fly me away...
I can say, those words that will finally let me go..
I can say, my dancing dreams to not let go.

I can feel, my tormented life rushing back to me..
I can feel, my soul smiling for one last time...
I can feel, the crisp cold air slowly soothing my heart.
I can feel, the dancing dreams finally pulling me away..
