Conscious dream

Sometimes you feel
you have won the world
you have got everything
that you desired in life

World seems beautiful
with love all around
You ask yourself
is this a dream?

Dreams with open eyes
with all your consciousness
you watch the world
coming your way

Then there comes a wave
so hard that blews you away
tears you apart
you feel nothing's left

Scared of dreams then
you think it should
have never happened
You curse your life

We blame life
that has many a times
given you happiness
and given you hope

Hope is for dream
and it may never die
But dreams are dreams
one's gone there's another

Flowers of flesh

This first poem of her's that I have read, has stunned me.. I always heard of her but never read.. I think she was a great soul.. Its sad that she is not with us anymore but her writings will definitely be there.. alive.. forever...
******************************

On the branches of this earth
Flowers of flesh grow every day.
Everyday they are plucked and shaken off
but one day a flower of flesh will grow
that storms will not shake
that hands will not pluck;
A fragrance will spread far and wide
and usher in an unknown peace.
