Reflections by the Moonlight

as I sat by the banks of the river
under the vivid moonlight;
I saw different reflections of me
the first being the person who I had become
others, a reflect of who I wanted to be
and the rest, a reflect of the soul within me
what was real? the person whom I saw, or
a direct reflection of my soul..??!!

why did it take the moonlight reflection
to unveil this reality of life, to me
was I living in denial all along?
under the resplendent moonlight
that engulfed everything around me
I saw the distinctive profiles within ME
stretched across and over the shore line,
in bits n' pieces, which left me pondering ~
how many different lives was I living?

trapped between the wants, illusions n' reality
I was torn between them like never before
a reflect here, a reflect there, a reflect everywhere
I wanted all of them...
to be united as ONE in entirety
as it was these pieces of reflection
which when coalesced, reflected in true essence
the person, the soul that was the real ME..!!

Twistedness

Euphoric grandeur

ecstatic feelings

fuddled enamoured mind

with muddled reasoning

transcendental state of being

spell bound in jubilance

captivated in a world ablaze

with vivid resplendent delights

it's nothing but a world

of sheer twistedness..!!

Interlude

Wake up to the reality

that you had shunned

while you sojourned

in this dreamy extrinsic

world of alluring mirth

thoughts come n' thoughts go

making you wonder, what to do,

know that these surreal feelings

hold no resolute abiding grounds

with their frugal pretence..!!

Break FREE from this spell

of pseudo illusions n' twistedness

before they deport you

on an highway to hell

boldly leading you NOWHERE

ravaging your life, forever…

FREEDOM is just a thought away

embrace it in its full splendour

rebound back to your realm, your world

ONE that you know is your very own..!!
