Kaleidoscopic Life Poem by Kriti jalan

Who know what your eyes were searching for,
May be it was just your desires,
As we walked along our paths,
The separation between us increased,
Thoughts were our destinations
But the destination was just an illusion.
I don't know why yet paths diverged,
Who knows what your eyes were searching for,
May be they were just desires!

An old memory stops my journey,
In a want to speak to me,
It says:
How long will you wonder in the crowd?
You will have to lead it one day,
Come sit,
Come sit and think about the past.
Lets think about the moment,
When that flower blossomed, spreading love all around,
And you as a butterfly stole some warmth.
An old memory stops my journey,
In a want to speak to me
It says...

The truth is that it was my mistake...
I tried reaching for the moon,
I asked the sky to touch Mother Earth,
I wished that flowers would blossom on stones..
I searched for fragrances among the thorns,
I wanted to get warmth from the ice,
And desired for coolness from fire,
I wanted my dreams, to ll come true..
But I asked for a bit too much,
The truth is that it was me who was mistaken!
Who knows what your eyes were searching for,
May be they were just desires!
