All lovers are strangers once, caught in vortex of time
Walking same roads, drinking coffee from roadside cafés
Riding buses, buying books, strolling on promenade
Dancing nights away with a bunch of friends
Confusing lust with love, desire with passion
In a sea of strangers, how lovers find their lost half?
In a sea of strangers, how lovers find their lost half?
My guess is as good as yours
Is it an instinct or a primeval code
Imbedded in minds and souls
Endure onslaught of countless lifetimes.
Endure onslaught of countless lifetimes.
Love can be baffling as it is exasperating
Long before it begins to feel any good
It is like a thirst that won’t go away no matter what
Or how much you drink
Heart tethered to gathering storm ready to burst any moment
Hazarding broken heart, shattered dreams, disillusionment
Some strangers step out of matrix
Open their hearts to love and hurt
Willingly burn at stake to strip off all trappings
And become lovers they always meant to
be
I think this is a lovely poem, Nalini!
