"Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can"

OK here goes

This is the first poem I had written when I came to BITS. I haven't given it a name yet. If anyone gets any ideas do tell.

I walk alone in the Desert- weary feet treading weary sand
I watch the sands of Time blowing in the desert wind
And I think of the time when the Desert wasn't between you and me
And I almost want you back
And I a tired of the blame game
the name game
the Game
(I was never good at games)
I remember the time
I wanted to fly
spread my wings across the wide empty Desert
But I'm flying now(can you hear my wings flutter?)
the Albatross flies above the ocean blues
I fly a stormy sky
I tire of this turbulence as I tire of the calm that is sure to follow
So
Cut off my wings so that I may not fly
Cut off my legs so I may not swim
Cut off my throat so I may not speak
Cut off my heart so It may not beat
Cut me up into my basic elements and
Assimilate me into your
Womb so that I may regrow in Death
And I'm crying(can you feel it?)
Does your heart quake every time my teardrops shake the earth?
And my tears they fall
on the dirt, my
Salty tears mix with the
Dirty earth to produce
Salty dirt
And i hope my tears shall evaporate
And travel high
to far distant lands
And fall on your cheeks so that
You may cry and
I shall feel your teardrops on my cheek
(let it rain in the interim)
And I wonder how many tears make the salty sea
I shall throw myself one day to
Caress the Sea and It shall
Caress me as you once did
And the salt shall cut me
Bleed me
And I hope my blood will flow
to distant shores
where you will one day
Feel my salty blood on your hands
And know that
I bled tears

  1. You know what I think about it. And I really don't want to go public with it. But as always...

  2. Heartfelt ( and hence slightly odd coming from you). Could understand the feeling, I guess :-)
