Falling.......................

If you ask for the precise moment in time
when it all began,
I shall not be able to tell

For I was always yours,
During the raging storms, the ghastly winds,
Complete in the arms of chaos.
One blob of mercury melting seamlessly into another.

Once you read my thoughts
Out of the tattered manuscript of mind
Your words fell like faint echoes
Before dissolving into an abyss.

Once we sank into that devious darkness
Trying to find our way out of these dark woods
Where we harbored ambiguity.
At the cross roads, you let go of my hand.

So we walked alone for a while, looking for
Deceptive way finders, erased landmarks
Through uncharted terrains, unmapped routes,
Remembering each other only through snapshots.

Searching for the castle we dreamt off, so often.
Our house of cards collapsed one day
with a single touch of realization.
We were lost, once again.

Perhaps it was then, that we realize
We had roamed around in circles
Like two leaves, carried back and forth, by the wind,
Hoping to come back to the beginning again,
To know each other for the very first time.
