Something I Look At - 85 Poem by Smrui Ranjan Mohanty

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-85
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Give me
a little space in your heart
I will just be there
not to rule over but
to be with you in moments of happiness
sorrow and despair

look at me
i will not be the pupil of your eyes
let me be in a corner
to look at your beautiful world
to wipe your tears
when non come forward

in the crowd
neither you see me nor listen to my voice
the world in which you are
the people with whom you share
are not what they actually are
time will tell you the truth
the moment you realise
you will find me right in front of you

touch me
touch my feelings
touch my emotions
touch my wounded heart
and shattered dreams
they are all yours
silently languishing in a corner
dying and reincarnating
in hope of coming alive

don't remain indifferent
your indifference hurts
it pricks like a thorn
if you don't love me
hate me
i want to feel you
feel your presence in my life
to be with you in your up and down
agony and ecstacy, summer and winter
baring these priceless feelings
nothing is my own
let me live with them
till i am here
