The Wall
I waited to see
My reflection in you
My eagerness reached the sky.
As the day passes Its strength spreads to the universe.
Days passed as the seconds.
Neither I saw
The spread of my reflection
To the world
Nor I saw it in your eyes.
You never knew me
And never tried for that.
The only thing you had
Is the shapeless, figure less
Shadow of mine.
I will never say
That you do nothing You do a lot.
You cover me
You wrapped my personality.
As if the ashes covers the cinder
Though I persisted to glow
You showered as rain on me.
You are always
A painful fence for me
You prevent my journey
You closed
The world of a free bird
Before me
That always awaited for
My arrival.
I see the increase In your force of compress
Like the destructive flood. .
But I can’t be
A person without words.
I can’t be action less.
I can’t be vision less.
I am not suppose
To end my life in between you,
The walls.
I have to reach
The heart of the living spirit
And have to burnish
Everything around me.
