Last Night
A Poem by
Mehak Mushtaq
Maybe, we've forgotten
that colors are illusions.
From where we stand
and look at life,
it seems so real.
Step back,
it's all an illusion.
Somehow, everything
manages to be (a) beautiful (illusion).
Last night, I peeked into your soul.
Your enchanting smile,
you and your ways
don't reflect your soul.
And still, it was so full,
full of realities,
that manifest as illusions
in the outside of your soul.
I finally
didn't need any reasons
and explanations,
I could just believe
without any doubts making me blind.
Your soul is an answer,
to all the questions
I've been looking for.
It is the language
of perfect sense.
Now, I don't need
to stand here
and look at you
or at myself.
'cause last night,
we were one.
And all the voices
that keep screaming your name
suddenly hushed down.
My heart stopped beating
and I felt alive.
It was when I lost my mind,
I made sense.
I felt complete.
I no longer needed worries
to keep me going on
or happiness,
to celebrate life.
'cause last night,
I was glamorous
and realities,
came true.
I couldn't dream anymore.
I was done.
Winter was happy
in summer
and everything, was
one.

Another intimate lovely poem. I love the short lines, the direct wording and the total lack of pretense. An interesting fact about the colors: the prism is real, the light is real, but the colors are only an intangible result of their coupling.
