Mirage

Across the desert
bathed in moonlight,
I walk alone, barefoot
leaving footprints in the sand
Wandering under the gloomy sky
Whispering to the shadows
Dancing to the night's tune
Obsessed, possessed
Dark eyes, dark ways
dark tresses blowing across my face
Beckoning you to follow
A tired soul, a lost fool
I am a mirage
mystical, magical, mysterious
The closer you come,
the more I slip out of reach
Afraid to let you in my world
Afraid to unveil my secrets
I'm running away, from reality
Vanishing into the horizon
Disappearing, without a trace...

Mirage ... why do u think urself alone ? Ok everybody is alone in this world .... but why are u running away from reality ? I dont think its just a mere poem ... its ur feelings ... somehow u got hurt from somebody ... unveil ur secrets ... share with someone .. u have to face the reality dear ...

MM said...

beautiful lines..
the question is for how long can u run away from reality??

khelnayak said...

And is that why u r a mirage? I am quite contrary to that. :)
I think u too need to shed your inhibitions and be yourself.

Random said...

you might think that you are leaving without a trace, but the impressions that you leave on the shifting sands of our minds will disappear only when we become ashes.

umm!..never heard the mirage version of a mirage....for i've heard long stories of lost travellers followin a mirage...but never heard of a mirage actually wallowin in the swamps of wait n' delay...that was really out of the way...it definitely caught my eye...here's a standin ovation!

Yesterday when I visited here...you had a very different and weird loooking template. Good that you changed back to this one :)
