When I Dream of You
written by: Liyah Aqib
When I dream of you
I see it
A Black Forest,
Where pale flowers hang their heads
By the river,
And the cold wind whispers
Of dark and far-off things,
a messenger
who says:
Do not enter this land
For it is pathless and perilous,
vague and hazy,
And you will not find what you search for
It is long gone.
Hi all, I’m Aliyah, a book-lover since childhood. Reading and writing has become a huge part of who I am and is central to my character. I believe that amongst the ups and downs of life, stories and literary works can serve as a grounding point and an inspiration to carry on. Whether a reflection of your own experiences or ones you aspire to, they are central to understanding ourselves and each other, and so should be valued accordingly.
