Aspiration


Eyes don’t need visa,
dreams have no frontiers.
Even in the waking sleep,
I travel through the contours of my eternal world.
Dreams don’t need wings,
Wishes don’t require wheels.
My wish list fully unfilled: I am richly poor;
I  aspire to  be aspired.
A meeting is required to transport the soul
To the world of eternity.
Dragged between my soul and body,
I combat every jiff of time,
To recover from umpteen troubles.
Asked life what it has to offer me,
To my utter surprise answered my life.
It was syndicated to earn a good man out of,
mere frame of flesh!
