A Look -366 Poem by Smruti Ranjan Mohanty

A LOOK - 366

Your Eyes

when
your shadow
falls on me

i look up—
into your
dreamy eyes

mine meet yours,
two dazzling orbs
gazing beyond time,
whispering—

man, get up,
be on the go,
before time takes it away

i keep looking,
mesmerized—
and it lets me

dream—

a rainbow,
a beautiful tomorrow
i never dreamt,
never dared,
until you came

again,
i look into your eyes—
they smile with me
and say—

you're not dreaming,
open your eyes.

your dream
and your reality
are one.

i am both—
your dream,
your reality

in your eyes,
i see myself—
not who i am
but who i long to be

your gaze
fills the hollow,
gives shape to silence,
makes it real—

makes it
me, the lover,
in the lap of the beloved,
forever, forever.
