"I was stared at, hooted at, grinned at, chattered at, by monkeys, by paroquets, by cockatoos. I ran into pagodas, and was fixed, for centuries, at the summit, or in secret rooms: I was the idol; I was the priest; I was worshipped; I was sacrificed. I fled from the wrath of Brama through all the forests of Asia: Vishnu hated me; Seva laid wait for me. I came suddenly upon Isis and Osiris: I had done a deed, they said, which the ibis and the crocodile trembled at. I was buried for a thousand years, in stone coffins, with mummies and sphinxes, in narrow chambers at the heart of eternal pyramids. I was kissed, with cancerous kisses, by crocodiles; and laid, confounded with all unuttemble slimy things, amongst reeds and Nilotic mud."
Thomas de Quincey

POPPYS' DREAM

How dare you to wake me up..!!
My nice dream, you interrupt !!
I don't want to open my eyes 
to see the cruel world of mine.. 

My dream was so sweet... 
With him around I always be pleased.. 
Closing to him was really difficult.. 
I‘d given my life just to meet him once.. 

My feeling, you'll never, never know, 
Until you love someone so 
Much that only for him you’re willing to cry 
only for him you're willing to die.. 
and this precious will never be yours.. 
No matter how you are trying for.. 
All you can do is only to dream.. 
of a nice time if being with him.. 

I gave away.. my life for love 
And I'll die here with my beloved 
Drowning in the dream I want to die 
Only in my dream that he could be mine..

Let me dream, please. Do let me dream.. 
Don't wake me up. Let me be with him.. 
Let me die here, please.. in his embrace. 
Right underneath the red poppy bed..
