CLAY COIN POT AND DREAMS

 

CLAY COIN POT AND DREAMS

Innocent life, tender heart, the future,
Grandmother's stories attract, allure,
Imaginary king, place, queens, servants,
Crumbles a royal life, horrible instant, (1)

Gold and diamonds, all preserved,
Empty was the castle time reserved,
A horse with wings flies and vanishes,
Childhood memory, fantasy cherish, (2)

To be big someday, heart yearns well,
Rich and famous prosperity: a sequel,
Mud cottage thatched roof contrast,
Rise through all steps, ladder, at a fast, (3)

Tiny finger, he counted the steps a lot,
Clay coin pot and dreams and effort,
Failed to count and slept manifested,
A pot was full of gold, soul interested, (4)

The castle queen maid all attending,
The dancer in rhythmic step singing,
Tasty food cuisine fruit were served,
Dawn broke, crow harked preserved, (5)

The clay pot is intact, partly empty,
Immersed in thought, collect hefty,
Long past the memory lane tracks,
Clay pot is still intact, interest lacks (6)

Childish dream the human wishes,
Crumble imaginary clay pot pieces,
Float the king, queen, turbulent life,
Encounter struggle, challenge strife, (7)

Quiet hours heart wishes be a child,
Impossible in the illusive world wild,
Clay coin pot and dreams with hand,
Life passes, the human ever stands (viii)
