We are not a perfect pair.
No! No! Not another pair of lovebirds.
We are not mirror images!
No, No! There would be too little of us!
We are not the dagger and the sheath.
Really! I’d feel real cut up, you know?
You see, we aren’t a pair at all!
I’m you, and you’re me-
Through all the multiple unreal images that manifest,
There is only One soul, we meet in!
I am, but that essence of you,
and so,
You are me!
So your smiles and giggles
Are expressions of my joy-
My tears are the outpouring of your sorrow-
The richness of life is in the
Magic of our mingling breath!
I breathe only as long as you live.
Stop! My dear, you say,
I exult!
And ..
I reply,
I’m breathless,
With your laughter!

This is not mush. This is sensitive love. You touched a chord here Usha.
ReplyDeleteLoved this line
"There is only One soul, we meet in!
I am, but that essence of you,
and so,
You are me!"
Beautiful!
"I'm breathless with your laughter"...I loved it. There is something so intangibly close in that line.
ReplyDelete''We are not mirror images!
ReplyDeleteNo, No! There would be too little of us!''
Beautiful lines....emphasising that each one is a unique individual....that one doesnt have to be an exact reflection of the other...
absolutely loved it...
and yet this...''I breathe only as long as you live.''
beautiful Usha!:)
True how is one to say where one ends and the other begins?
two souls entwined for eternity.....perhaps...?:)
Ah... The pulchritude of it all...
