A Soliloquy

The stars are awake

Walking me to a world unknown

I keep talking in my head

In an ardent soliloquy

I talk so much only to realize

The one I am talking to is not by my side

I have moved on so much ahead

That I have come to a land of unsaid

How nice it would be

If neither of us spoke

There would never be any quarrels

There would never be any hope

But in this perfect world

Something seems amiss

Its so perfect that

It seems bitter sweet

You may have wants here

But you must shed your desire

You may have formalities

And yet make some memories

Meet strangers down the lane

Lead a life and be gone with the wind

What if I want to desire?

What if I want to lean from the edge

And glance at what lies ahead

Wouldn’t I want to breathe in my life

Sip from the lees and skip a beat

Wouldn’t I yet be called alive?

Why things have changed so much

Why is it so hard to backtrack

Was the love we felt so fragile that it had to crack

We move apart and touch base again

We move closer yet give each other pain

If its so claustrophobic why cant we give away

If there is nothing at all then why do we await the call

The day has called it night

It needs to rest awhile

I can start with my soliloquy again

And let the stars hear my plight…
