109.Interpreting The Pause Poem by rajagopal haran

When you are seen
I am invisible
Is it hide and seek?
Between you and me?

Is it Perception or illusion?
Is it ambiguous victory or
Vague defeats?
No, we transcend the “you and me”!

I am used to walk
On top of water
When there is high tide
Drenching me full!

Thinking of pearl
Dive deep inside!

Escaping the teeth
Those are ready to bite
I turn into honey;

When the tongue wants
To have its hold on me
To relish for its part
Camouflage myself as stone!

When you try to swallow
The thorns that tear
Hearts that hide truth
Mouths that lie
I turn into hanger
Making you float!
