Love Across Time Poem by ANKITA BASU

A love across lifetimes
hurdles at every present
awareness engulfs me
Need to be ruthless
Forget shame
Leave awkwardness
for the possibility
of reuniting
with a piece of my soul

dreams come
recognition overwhelms me
miss him terribly
even if we have not met
feel like crying
Long to be next to him

Once found
connecting telepathically
gives rise to another pain
sweet and random

oh my soul
how I wish to meet you
come into my life

I am willing to lose my sanity
when I am with you,
my insanity,
is my gift to you

Oh my love,
come to me
even if it is
for a short time
