An evocative love poem by Sudhansu, for Different Truths exclusively.
I know the magic of unlocking the lips
Burdened with calculated smile
Mathematically designed as one minus one is equal to zero.
I am the man of an unknown geography
Where the shadow speaks only in confidence
To the people I value.
I know the art of spying my shadow
In a redefined relationship with it.
The ground opens up and envelops each time I walk with my shadow
Fighting a long battle throughout my life
Just only to lose it.
You feel the wanting of this unwanted being
Unrecognised from the beginning to the end.
My signature is on water escapes your eyes
But I am always there
Faithful to your presence.
Can the attachment of two lips measure the depth of love?
You look at me, but I look at myself.
No matter what you think about me
But it is my life to go
With the confidence of missing the self from moment to moment.
