Over the rainbow is 'Nowhere man'


Every night I dreamt of that perfect nobody
-The man of my dreams
-The owner of my heart
-The guardian of my soul
-The burning passion in my poetry
I believed there must be somebody
For my soul somewhere
But to find him, I knew not where?


I was a hollow human hunting
Anywhere and everywhere finding
Assiduously for her lurking mate
The perfect man- worth the wait
The one who would kill
This blinding silence in my life
The one who could fill
This gaping hole- my empty inside
This heart waited for him endlessly
These eyes searched him- in vain incessantly

Then I concluded he was but a ‘nowhere man’
Who lived in somewhat nowhere land
One thing I was sure about and knew
Dreams were meant for sleeping
They never come true
But this was all until I found you
Hard to believe my dream came true
Nowhere man turned now here man
You taught me how to see
Perfection in an imperfect being
All this while you were in front of me
I never realized
I just cannot believe
I didn’t see it in your eyes
That you were the special someone
I had been finding over the rainbow
Down the valley of shadow
Up above the mountain snow
My belief turned true
As we were meant to be
As sure as there is love,

Yours was meant for me.
