I live two lives
one on the exterior,
and one within my head.
You will see an abyss -
if you stare into my eyes.
I strongly advise you not to look any farther -
otherwise, you may plunge into my thoughts,
albeit only a few have done so far -
and they are now a part of my universe.
Don't you see, I'm a poet who lives in two worlds,
and two different lives.
We all play different parts in our lives and poet is no exception.
I think one life is hard enough, and I think my heard is all but empty.
Yeah only poet lives two lives at the same time. One for himself and the other for his poetry.
'Don't you see, I'm a poet who lives in two worlds, and two different lives.'....simply superb...thank you Asim
Life is such a mystery and so are we. Qt least you know yourself and are willing to face your reality. I think most artists and poets. writers and creative individuals lead a double life, which may help us from becoming ' totally insane'. Great poem and so handsomely written
Dr Nehal, you bring a whole new dimension to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. If only Mr Hyde had looked farther into Dr Jekyll's eyes...he may have gone further. He may have overcome his evil impulses.
