Capturing the Moments

I am a poet, a dream catcher too.
I don’t have coloured feathers, but I have a dancing shoe.
Every lovely waking moment is a dream for me.
Whether I am home or near the cerulean sea.
I try to capture every moment of glee.
Every blooming flower with a hovering bee.
Every little moment is important to me
Whether in a desert or in greenery.
While etching the moments in my heart.
Trying to screen off the poison darts.
Trying to capture happiness at every bend.
I have my mobile camera as my friend.
Clicking away the precious times.
Storing them in my memory enzymes.
These photographs are the memory doors.
To be cherished when the heart is sore.
