the deeper
i search within
the contours of myself
to find the real me
i only see you

the mirror
i hold
to my face
projects your reflection

my heart beats
rapidly
the rhythm of its beat
chanting your name

you on the other hand
seem to enjoy your stroll
away from me,
oh vishnu maya - mistress of illusion

when true knowledge
dawns
you will experience the truth
only i pervade
every pore of yours

When I leave myself to be
The silence consumes me
And all my fears
Turn into dust
That can fill my lungs
At any moment

When I don't say a word
The loudness becomes absurd
And all my fears
Devour the moment
That is meant to be cherished
Each and every time
