***nirvana*** Poem by Raju Baruah
***nirvana***
Nilanjana
Do you hear me
The crowd I crossed
The crown I boasted
Was that my victory
I don't know
From where I got that power
To cross
To smash those innocent Armour of unknown horse
Still, I have no idea of time and space
I have no idea of war and peace
My abandoned me
Laughing
What I want, where it is
Can one conquer over others
Yet, I haven't overcome me
I didn't know why my surrogates crying
When I was coming with victory
Nilanjana
I am beside you
To conquer over me
The roots of this banyan touched you
I am under that tree
Give me that strength to face with me
I want to know myself
That's what I can see.

a profound write of self-discovery...external conquest equates to inner defeat...conquering of inner fears is the Highest victory! !
