In Reassurance..
And if you were
to let me loose...
Loosen the bonds
of love you
hold me within..
And if you were
to give me back
my space, my mind...
I wonder
Sadly, nervously...
I know you wonder too -
What if I asked?
What if you
couldn't deny me?
What if this
nightmare you
fear, turned real?
You wouldn't-
Rather, you couldn't-
I'm too precious,
a part of you
that rules the
rest of you!
Then how could
you-
Just let me free!
And how do I
reassure you
that's the way
I'll always be..
A part of you.
No matter-
even if you
let me be
Me!

ReplyDeletewould just that ah suffice? :))
Love is such a dilemna isnt it?At times...
and all the emotions that churn inside....
and the last lines said so much...a fear that one will lose oneself perhaps?
How many times does one gone through it?
I have lost count...
and its only at moments that are very special when one realises that one is fortunate enough to not worry ever...
for, when love is strong and without any boundaries all the fears vanish dont they?

ReplyDeleteand trying hard to let me be
you'll fail for there are strands you can't see
to which this soul clings unwilling to be free.

Govind, as usual, awesome verse in reply :) As Salil has said, your notes are not just profound, but they rhyme so beautifully that it is an honour to have them grace the write :) And make it worth writing :)

ReplyDeleteThe mirror wins? She wins? Who let Who go?

Tara :) thank you, nice to have your words here too!
ReplyDeletePrabhu, wow! What a metaphor you have come up with :) I think most often everyone wins, if it is love :) Thanks so much!
MIP, thank you :)

ReplyDeleteNo matter- even if you let me be Me!
Beautiful words! (I need to make a check list of positives if I should stop myself from repeating that ur posts are beautiful. :( )
A small promise with a lot of confidence, in each other, but then, love itself is a promise, and the words above state the mere fact.
maam, thank you, you'll be missed, and you ll be remembered...this is after reading your last post, i just had to say something somewhere...
