~Radha~
Restless, a river flowed out of me
Not knowing its boundaries, reaching out
To unknown lands of marble staring at me
Inside I felt like I've crossed oceans,
A tiredness of living a whole era somewhere else
There's no sign of my comfort, my love
And yet I feel this moment, naked
Baring vulnerabilities tumbling out
One after other, one after other
Loud beats jumping one after other....
I break connections that scare me
Covering it well with a layer of annoyance,
Frightened by a stranger's teeth flashing at me, "Stop!" A yell escape, my own voice unrecognisable
His fists dance, discordant on the wood
Shaking his head, shrugging in nonchalance, he increases the volume
And I....I am filled with such a rush of uncontrollable power,
Grabbing the metal device, I elope
My head painting scenarios of it flying out the verandah,
Shattering on the campus ground,
Five Floors below, incapable of sounds
That drove my Shyam away....
"Not so fast Radha!" Strong arms hold me back, disarming my weapon from my hand,
The music stopped but another begins
My heart's tempo deafening me, in his arms, trapped on the library wall
What is this disorienting dilemma of life
What is this awakening....
Why, yet, does it feel so fine?
Emotions howling like wolves ravening.....
For real, Oh this awakening....
