About the Poem

This poem was written to express my sadness of loving someone to a great extent and not having the same level of emotion returned. For this reason we could not be together as I wanted to receive the same as that which I gave him, all of my innermost feelings, the contents of my heart and soul. For me it was painful beyond what I had ever imagined. This is the very first poem I have written as it is the first time I have felt strongly enough about anything to write something like this and have just built up the courage to have other people read it!

Watching My Dreamer Dream

by Sadia Khan

I hear a sigh in my sleep
. . . it awakens me
I turn to see what it could be
. . . it's you I hear stirring in your sleep
I watch you as you sink again
Your head into the softness there below
A jet of light illuminates your cheek
As if to say to kiss you there
Instead I watch you while you sleep
And dream the dreams which you seek
I wonder what those dreams could be
Since dreams and reality converged to this
. . . for me

I wish to be in those dreams
. . . then maybe I could be
What you seek, which is kept secret from me
. . . and are only in my dreamer's dreams
