poojitha bhat - Finding 'Me'

Once upon a time,
Cronies we were!
And there fell the guillotine;
separating 'Me' from me!

I was torn into half.
And 'Me' was lost somewhere.
There were born two contrary worlds,
Separated by the guillotine.

Went I in the search of
The missing 'Me'
Mountains and valleys,
strayed I barefooted.
Through sands and thorns,
leaves and waters,
fumbled I,
for the missing 'Me'.

Gave away my body,
Clock by clock.
Bled away my body
drop by drop.
and there I fell
surrendering in the battle!
Ah! Coward!
Pricked my conscience!

Then rose I,
with the soul of a Phoenix!
With all the strength,
hiding beneath fear,
Unleashed!
Then started I,
in the search of 'Me'!

There stood 'Me',
In the lonely night! !
There stood 'Me'
gleaming in moonlight! !
There we were,
'Me' and 'I'
United!
Then was born 'We'!
with my dreams
Satited! !
