Fake Connections Poem by C. P. Sharma

Only you and you and you alone
All in you and nothing unknown
No time, no night, Sun shines always
Tomorrows and yesterdays melt into eternal today

Strong are the snares of five senses
Colors, music, taste, smell and touch bind
With them, we are deeply entwined
In them, we see our life’s defenses

No pleasure, no pain and no disdain
All transparent, colors don’t feign
Rumi was One with the Pilot in him
My fake connections, my being trim

The eventful life reflects the turbulence
Deep below lies the soulful silence

*Inspired by Dr. Alka Arora’s “Fall in love in such a way”.
