_**About the Author**_

Associate Professor of English after an active teaching career of 33 years. She 
says that poetry came to her at a late phase of life but when it did, it inundated
her very being.

_Mirrored Dreams_

To be overpowered
 Then possessed By a tall dark stranger In the night This, I fantasized
every night In the arms of my lover boy.

He came one night
 A little drunk “Come sit with me, I wish to talk Of things that
matter to me.” I listened and I sympathized When out of the blue he leapt at me 
And pinned me to the ground.

Fear like a wave engulfed me
 I fluttered like a bird entrapped With trembling hands,
cold and wet I pushed him hard. He fell. Nausea filled my every bone “Get up! Get
out!” I said.

Incorrigible this mind
 It continues to dream Only, this time it’s a different dream.
