That "You"

Now my soul is intoxicated

Wine, like hemlock spreads in my blood

So many thoughts rush in like torrential flood

And I lose myself, I get lost in you..

Who is this 'you' ?

I know not..

A 'you' appears like a long shadow

Cast by the setting sun

On the shore of timeless sea

And in it, I adrift me..

Completely submerging myself

In those watery eyes

That I once set my eyes on

Blending completely on that smooth skin

That I once touched intensely

Beating together rhythmically 

With that heart beat, 

Once I had listened so very closely

That 'you' , a real illusion

That 'you' I know yet recognize not...

My drunken heart writes a verse

And that 'you' lives in it, till eternity !
