What you see when
You see that image
That… in the mirror?
Do you see broken lines
Are they pieces of glass,
Or flakes of your blue skin?
Or imaginary, all of it;
What are those cracks?
From which you see
Red-green wine creeped up
All over your head and feet
Is it mirror-play
Or self doubt?
Illusion formed by half-truth?
Or Dream erected by half-vision?
Struggle within to seek truth,
Sprouted senselessness
Scattered soul
In reality is a pity;
Cried out solution
long forgone
Orchestrated stage yet singing alone?
…
What makes you see that image?
An impression?
A vision, a short sight?
A glimpse of you in trouble?
A disbanded self?
Unconsciousness,
Impure, Imperfect,
Chained, fortified,
Vulnerable, broken
A dispelled self?
…
Snap out of it!
Leave that fortress,
The courage, The light,
The holy idea of life,
Oh dissolving self, just bring it up!
…
Have desire, have faith,
Believe in your built,
And your bones,
Trust your character,
And your soul.
…
The creeps, the damp,
The mold sprouts,
The imaginary maps
Of unending doubts,
The Cold;
Will not swallow
Your scorching insides.
…
Burn darkness,
Blaze the hope,
Fire up your heart and nerve,
Bruise, Rub, grill your body,
Let it not dampen you
Even for a sec;
Warm up, burn up
Until you see the cleanse,
Until you find a way,
A way that preserves
Your heat, your grit;
A path that leads you
To the beautiful self
The mighty one,
The solid and sought,
To the warm,
To the tough,
To YOU.
Beautiful!
Thank you! ❤
Good one Chitra! Could have been more crispier!
I liked these lines especially
Burn darkness,
Blaze the hope,
Fire up your heart and nerve,
Bruise, Rub, grill your body,
Let it not dampen you
Even for a sec;
Warm up, burn up
Until you see the cleanse,
Until you find a way,
A way that preserves
Your heat, your grit;//
