Where ever you go you find me,
Am I the destination or am I the destiny?
Am I the secret, you want to behold?
Or am I the voice of your heart, better not be told?
Am I the thoughts, you like to ponder?
Or am I the questions, you don’t want to answer?
Am I the joy, you wish to share?
Or am I the grief, you always fear?
Am I the affection, warmer than sunlight?
Or am I the mystery, darker than night?
Am I the memories, you don’t wish to forget?
Or am I the desire, you always regret?
Am I the imagination, you wish to realize?
Or am I the reality, you want to despise?
Am I the love, which you wish to bestow?
Or am I the hate, which you never show?
I know not what am I,
But I would like to be -
The shine of your gleaming face,
The twinkle of your beaming eyes,
The rhythm of your beating heart,
And the soul of the song on your lips.

@ Man in painting
thx.. yup it's true that with the contradictions that exists in life.. it's nothing but a snake n ladder ..
And I tried to capture only this thru my poem.. where actually one doesn't knw .. what to make out of things/circumtances in life ..

Am I the memories, you don’t wish to forget?
