Identity Poem by Ramakrushna Sahu

It was in vain
We tried to introduced each other
Tried to come closer
To fill the gap that silence engulfed

We decorated ourselves
With so many colours
We wore on the chest a nameplate
We promised of unreserved surrender
And a path treading hand in hand
That expands beyond time & space

Such was our promise in vain
We tried hard to enter into
each other's shadow
But the heart was of bones
And the lips were of stones

In our faltering bond
Ignorance was the fault all along
All our identify is just a mask
In the beginning all is one
And the game of love
Was just a hilarious farce.
