Kavyanjali

I came here in your pursuit hoping as I mount the time to meet you en route  Where the sky touches the earth when the light infiltrates the darkness when the voices fill up the vacuum you promised me the oneness  But my senses set me adrift keeping me from reaching your shore the world unfolds before me and I forget it's you who I am looking for you are within and beyond in the blood which flows through my veins the smoke, escaping through the spaces between my fingers   But still I search for you in the crowded lanes

It is faith that connects me and you strangers in the same world waiting for a dream come true You are the clouded sky I am the pouring rain I am the wound incised on your skin and you are my pestering pain Between us unrolls the whole world the obscure reflections in the restless water the blinding rays of the blazing sun and the unheard whispers in a noisy chatter At the bottom of the hourglass I wait for you to trickle down And I see your hand try grabbing mine as, in pursuit of you, I drown

I sprouted from your desires and branched out into empty space embosomed you with my shadow mounting the skies as you counted the days Feeding on your aspirations I bore the sweetest fruits Generations passed me by And I stood incarcerated in my own roots In silence I suffered with lingering sighs  when you axed me with your ignorance As the Lightning struck I burnt in your indifference Now you dampen me with hopes thrusting vigour and a new resolve once again I stretch into the arms of the wind                                                                   witnessing new facets of life evolve 

                 

You embraced me like gentle waves as I stood barefoot in the scorching sands; Off with you I set out on an odyssey to never never lands. In your silence I heard the hurricanes raging inside; your twinkling eyes reflected the scars of a wounded pride. Beneath the stains on my mirror you saw me dive in diffidence; In the echoes of my loudest words you felt the eerie silence. We bridged the gap between us with the boulders of a common wall We climb the same cliff But in different horizons we fall. Like constellations of a shimmering sky we discovered each other As the leaves rustle in twilight, in our caves we disappear.

Time and again did we coincide on different planes playing different roles familiarity though vague, never does it subside and the similarity in us beyond the genes it goes. We die again to be born again portraying sequels of a prewritten story pacing up and down the same memory lane we re-write our common history. It isn't quirky how we reach consensus obliterating all gaps and differences In times to come, shattering the fences we will meet again in varying circumstances.
