FELL

I saw him and I fell, 

Hard and fast, 

like a gravitational spell

I saw his mouth, and his eyes, 

and I forgot how to swim, 

as I drowned deeper in

I heard his mesmerizing voice, 

as he said my name, 

how it sounded like a prayer

And in that moment, 

I could have fallen a hundred times

And yet, somehow...

As he uttered his next words, 

I was liberated, 

Liberated, as if, from a trance

And now...now he was falling…

Fallen in my eyes, no longer handsome, 

as I realized, without a doubt,

Beauty can turn around, 

when an ugly mind comes out.

The Search

 I look in crannies, and in nooks, 

I check in drawers, and in hooks, 

see for myself, behind the big drapes, 

in boxes of all sizes, and all shapes

I wonder what I look for though, 

Was it a friend, or a foe?

Or maybe, it was both yin and yang, 

and then I remember, with a sharp pang

It is no thing, it has no name, 

it is different from me, yet somehow same, 

Right becomes left, and left is right, 

with it, in the end, I have to fight

It pulls me down, takes me high, 

But it cannot hide, it cannot lie, 

the world, can, become obsolete, 

As long as, its eyes, I can meet

It is after all, myself in the mirror, 

Lost and found, both together, 

I for her, and she for me, 

Competitors, supporters, remain we.
