Nausher Banaji Mar 2011
I sat at the window and was looking out
Then i looked within and began to shout
Have i seen too little, have i seen too much
Am i guided by stars,maimed by a touch
Am i blinded by truth, enlightened by a lie
The die is cast in the blink of an eye

Darkling you reach into the light
Sending spasms of memories into the night
Sweating palms clutching your shadows hand
You only survive because you dont understand
The wind carries voices but theres nobody there
The bush is burning but the mountain is bare
-Nausher
Nausher Banaji Mar 2011
Separated by lightyears of silence and nightyears of stone
The words you speak to me are all unknown
In a crowded train on an empty line
I'm searching for someplace i can call mine
In the mirror of an hourglass naked i stand
My scars are hidden and safe in her hand=Nausher
Nausher Banaji Mar 2011
Each seeking life in his own abyss
Hanging onto the other's silence
Waiting on night to deliver your bliss
Your mask is your soul in violence
The divine divided by divinity
Trapped in the madding throng
Walled in the other half of your insanity
Your dreams are all real your reality all wrong-Nausher
Nausher Banaji Mar 2011
you are sitting naked on shifting sand,
a mirror and a mirage in each hand,
you dream a memory moving alone,
you call out but she is gone,
the road that brought you here
is dragging you back
the light you thought was near
is fading to black-Nausher
Nausher Banaji Mar 2011
The sea is calling out the clouds again,
carrying stories of sanity to the insane,
there you lie scanning the miles,
free child of beauty or a caged reptile,
washing away black memories in white water,
tomorrow's fears with yesterday's laughter
-Nausher

Was it paradise lost or paradise found,
was it safety you sought in 6 feet of ground,
were you tipping your eyes to make an impression,
wearing a face with a borrowed expression,
did the looking glass
look back at you in wonder,
did you look through a mask
only to see a stranger - Nausher
