WHAT ARE YOU?

Rohit Pathak

WHAT ARE YOU?

 

Comfort for me

Comfort for you

All that I want is to be there for you

I see you I feel you I need you

But when I come close, I’m reduced to ashes by you

 

There you are standing in the rain

With a chic expression that I can’t just comprehend

Your magnanimous presence

Your unearthly aura

Your heavenly beauty

Your sporadic smile

Manages to even blow away the pain

The gloom, the sadness, the rain

 

What are you

What is it about you

What is it that u do

What is it that you bring;

Are you there

Are you real, are u a fragment of me and my world

Or a steady stream of captivation in my mind

Whose vivaciousness confuses my heart

Makes me go insane and question reality, question myself, question my sanity, question my soul

What the fuck are you?

 

There I’m driving back home

I catch a glimpse in my rearview

 You sitting on a bench

Standing on a pedestal

Walking down a road

Driving by me;

Are you the whole world, the entire human species,

Or are you my obsession, my longings, my desires, my insanity……

 

There you are in my darkness

There you are in my light

There you are in my nightmares

There you are in my dreams

I open my hands, I open my heart, my soul

But it suddenly dawns on me

Who are you, where are you

WHAT ARE YOU…?
