Do You Know Me ?

A Poem by Rajarshi

There are times when you know people in and out . Do they know you that well ?

In a world which has found no satisfaction ,

I am pushed along a road not of my will ,

Betrayal being the only reward expected ,

I found you .

We have travelled down the same trail .

In an incessant quest for happiness,

Weighted by a preponderence of uncertainty.

As long it is for me to possess,

As long it can be ,

We are needed to be acknowledged,

If only as a mentor or a muse ,

Be it a friend ..

Wanderings innermost of me ,

Without fear

Of being judged.

I’ve told you things that I could not even speak to myself,

With a warm acceptance,

Without batting an eye.

What comfort that gave me.

A Life imagined before, in waking hours,

Shadows become reality when life slows down

Dreams and nightmares awakened by the stillness around

I am bewildered when i

Open the recesses of my soul

And watch, detached, as you step through

Unafraid of what you will do

I feel you sit there and look intently with your bright eyes,

Which stares into me

Touching my heart and reaching into my chest with a silent whisper

And hold them in suspense.

With the most delicate of hands

As I fall away and allow the weight of my hidden self to be shared

With you.

Knowledge which you possess do not shake me ,

Secrets which can be used as an instrument ,

And which can be more violent than death

Are in safe hands without doubts of betrayal

unharmed i am by my revealations ,

forever...

Coz i know you from inside..
