And Now You are Going to Ask

And Now You are Going to Ask

A Poem by Karan

And now you are going to ask

And I'll still be looking for an answer

 

Your eyes digging deep into the soul

Lighting up the shallow tunnel

They light up the roads i travel

And in them i find countries and rivers and mountains

For the earth is too small for them

I see everything that exists

 

Just like the splash of water opens up the foam

So does the smile on your face

 

 

A dark fragrance lifts up from the air

Roses shy away into the night

The land upon which your feet land

Hide the poppies beyond the horizon

For you bring in a new aura

Beguiling the moths and the cocoons

And my heart is no less

 

Jupiter lifts you to the zenith

For he himself is merely a man

 

A concoction of lilacs, petals and pearls

Made of all the water and all the leaves

Of all the gold and all the silver

Of all the earth and all the ether

What goes into the night and in the day

Dwells within you

 

Don't leave me even for a day as i will be alone

Like an empty station with trains parked somewhere else, asleep

Don't go away even for an hour, for it is too long

And for the time you are gone

I'll wander around the earth

Wondering if you would leave me here dying?
