Note On Immortality

I am the heart in your rib-cage

I a dream in your eyes

I am your untold legend

I your fading smile..

I am the air you breathe

I the shadow you cast

I am the touch you feel

And I all, that ends and last !

I am the path beneath your feet

Am your sky of flight

Am the kite that you soar high

And your weakness and might..

Am the one you come to,

Am the one, you escape from

Am the one you want to keep

And am the one you let go... !

Am still but a part of you..

A dream a illusion fine

But you, oh how truly

Has been a me..

And all that is mine.. !

I cannot take a step

In my dreams or in real..

My world has shrunk in you

Now in my every search

I find you !

Words shall come

Words shall go

Poems shall get stale and wither

But I shall remain beyond my words

And find my after life shelter..

That I have carved my home

Within your bosom warm..

Wither, wilt, death and end

Today, matters none !

Immortality has been labeled an illusion

I care not any more

To live in thoughts and love of thee

I have crossed all ocean...

I did reach the shore !
