Inebriated

One sip then another

And again yet another

Sip after sip, as I take

And throw myself

Out of my senses

I find myself in you..

Deep within the night's pulse

When all gets submerged

From there I appear

Mirroring in your

Awakened heart ...

Tight grip of life's fist

I move not, nor do I try..

Slowly I sink and melt

In you... In your eye...!

I do not know.. how time moves

Nor do I find myself..

At the dead of night

When I search for me

I find me in your soul..

Sleeping secured and tight !

I make no noise..

Tiptoe I walk...

As it might wake us both...

But from illusion to real

The day arrives...

All vanishes..

Along all... I and you...

Nothing remains... nothing was

We are but two shadows

Of our own souls

Sometimes alive, sometimes dead

Yet... there.. in partial and whole..

Ask not what I say in silence

Decipher not my words

Know that... I am still alive

Because, even today, I love !
