My Ancient Love. Volume 2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798312247503)

And when you called out to me,
I was walking my path with love and peace.

And you called out to me,
I heard your deep cry.
And I turned around,
For I felt it deep within me.

And as I looked for you everywhere,
I saw you nowhere.
And when I finally came across you,
My soul was telling me, 'you are there.'

And I understood not what it said,
Just that I remember you.
And you looked at me in surprise,
And I understood not why I was there.

And then the love started pouring from within,
The love which was hidden forever.
For I had 'seeked' you far and wide.
And found you nowhere.

And then when I looked at you,
My heart said, 'Yes, '
My soul said, 'Yes, '
And yet my steps did not take me there.
I was tied with invisible chains,
And you did not recognise me anywhere.

I stood there looking at you,
And I stood there forever.
And you unaware of me,
and what I knew,
passing glances now and then.

You said something else,
Your eyes betrayed you.

And here I was waiting for you,
And you never turned.
I stood there for eternity,
waiting for you to turn.
In pain waiting for you,
I choose to love myself.

And when I finally turned around,
My heart would cry in pain,
And I whispered to myself,
'Worry not, he will also be there.'

And saying this to myself,
I started to walk my path.
And many a times,
I looked behind, and
There you were shaking hands.
Hugging the many who you knew,
Dancing to the sound of music,
that played for the body to sway,
And when I saw you dance,
I understood, and
I walked away.

For I was dancing to the tune of my soul,
That which I could 'only' hear.
And then I knew not what happened.
I danced away.

And many a times I looked around,
I turned again and again,
Only to hurt myself,
And finally-
I walked away.

And I walked and I walked,
only to turn again.
Waiting to rest,
was only a reason,
I realised-
I was waiting for you to come my way.

And then I noticed again,
you were distracted again and again.
And here I was waiting for you again.

Finally I heard my own deep cry,
Which said, 'Walk away,
for till you stand there, my dear,
you will only hurt again and again.'

So I started to take the baby steps,
Learning to love myself on the way.
Understanding myself deeper and deeper,
As hand in hand with my soul,
I walked away.

And then I know not what happened,
you started to fade away.

As I kept dancing to the tune of my soul,
I could hear the whispers that it sang,
And I learnt to sing the same melody,
The core of which was deep within.
