Somehow my thoughts
drifted into slumber
of deep woods
where I could see
the Self standing alone
in the reflecting waters
glimmering under
the full moon night.
“Who is this!”, was
my instant reaction, far
from realization
and recognition:
I was my unknown.
First a surprise,
then a disbelief
and mounting frustration.
The past was gone,
the present is staring
stark deep into my eyes:
I saw a naked unknown.
Truth is so rude!
Wonderful poem, the last line is delightful.
🙂
I disappoint myself constantly in that I don’t live up to who I want to be. Beautifully put, SatyaKam.
Neither do I 😦
another fabulous poem. by the way satyakam, when you publish your book do let me know the details so i can get a copy.
this poem is haunting.
“…when you publish your book…”

Someone has gifted me anything after long 😛
well, its nothing in comparison to the poetries you gift us.
You, the readers, are my motivation. In fact I am gifted to have a bunch of followers who stop by my scribbles to read and comment…last but not least attribute them as poems 🙂
