Introspection

I look around and all I see is emptiness. Surrounded by souls but my mate is nowhere in sight. I search deep into my thoughts in an alternate world of colors. There is where you reside, along with the voices in the back of my mind. I find you sitting on the edge of the lustful cliff, next to the fountain of love. The zephyr striking your hair strands as the multicolored sun runs a radiant gloss over its floating self. There I stand, leaning against the tree of reasoning. Admiring your beauty and wondering if what I see is mirage. To walk towards you, or to admire you from afar? An unanswered question that hypnotizes me into the emotion known as infatuation. How strange to detach in an already detached world. Transcending into through my thoughts trying to find myself, But instead I find you. Are you an answer or are you a threat? A perilous journey that drives me to a dead end. A high voltage fence lies ahead, I frantically turn around only to find u standing behind. Speechless with wide opened eyes I stare blankly at the figure in front of me. What I was seeking has found me. I standing in between Death and the truth. To run away, or to face my fate? So many questions yelling inside of my head trying to escape, But not a single word is said. Sitting on a park bench I get a grip of reality. Awakened by the pouring rain that washed away my wild thoughts. Observing everything with virgin eyes. Exploring every visible thing till I manage to go back to the state I was, before I was assaulted by the thought of you.
