Carnival Dream

January 11 , 2009

Dampness hung in the air like freshly washed linen... The somnolent dusk ,awash with scent of the cool night wind , made he late afternoon suitable for sleeping .

As the day unwound , slowly slithering into nightfall , the usual Sunday activities at home went into a fast pace and slowly slumbered into silence ...

In the solitude of my room , darkness embraced me and as the cool breeze of the night made through it's way on my open over sized window and playing with the striped-pink curtains made goose bumps on my skin . I sat down in my bed to seek for comfort and warmth and waited until my eyes got used to the darkness around me .

I felt too tired to even comb my hair and do my nightly weekend regimen . After changing into my over sized shirt I rubbed aromatic oil on my feet to soothe it's numbness . Propped my pillows and grabbed covers ... lay down comfortably ... i still want to turn on my player and listen some music... Kenny G this time ...Havana .. five minutes and I'll turn it on .... but the five minutes was forgotten . I fell into Dimension Z once again ... this is the part where I'm half awake and half asleep. I can see darkness but in total silence as if everything in the world gone mute ... slowly colors came like shooting stars ... forming images ...scenes ... forming into a dreamlike tapestry ... and then it made sense ... a carnival !

I saw two ticket booths , the one with candy colored paint and the other one is painted in bold green , purple and red . The candy colored booth sells tickets for the Carousel so I bought my ticket there and snubbed the other booth which sells tickets for the Roller Coaster ride .

The man dressed in clowns open the gate and let me in and ride into a pretty pony ...
he even gave me a wand and a tiara so I felt like a princess riding in my magical horse . Going round and round the pretty lit carousel with sweet melody floating in the air ...

Time is up and it's time for me to step down and leave the magical feeling ... I wander around the carnival sight seeing ... I can hear screams of adventure and laughter in the nearby Roller Coaster and it looks very frightening !!! Then I heard that someone is calling me .... “ Maria ! “
so I gazed around and look where the voice came from .

And then my eyes rested on that very beautiful creature with kind eyes and deep voice... His hair has been blown by the wind ... soft and silken ... He reached out his hand and said
“ come ride with me “ and pointed to the Roller Coaster . I don't know this stranger yet his hands felt to familiar ... I'm getting drowsy with his scent ... And he's holding my hand and pulling me to the Roller coaster but i felt so scared to ride in there .... And he said in a sweetest voice ...

“ come here sweetie ... don't be scared I am here ... “

The tears went roll down my face suddenly ... I closed my eyes ... and then I was awake by my own sobs ... hot tears running down my cheeks ... and my chest felt so tight with pain ... I got up and drink a glass of water to calm me down ... sat motionless for some moments ... and wonderin' what the dream meant ...
I don't know how minutes have passed since I sat there ... the curtains movement caught my hair and awoke me from that uncertain enigma .

I can't sleep back so I decided to write a draft for this blog ...
