Two Souls under One Roof

Two Souls under One Sky

By Shanu Kanjilal

One day we will surely walk in delight

Under that mystical moonlight,

One day we will surely not make any noise

And listen to each other like two innocent toys.

One day we will surely steal time from life

And go somewhere to experience the essence of being alive,

One day we will surely not pretend to be occupied

And do something where we feel not compromised.

One day we will surely not register our memories

In a mere camera, book or dairy

But rather in our mind’s eyes for centuries.

One day we will surely understand the emotions

Not through spoken words, shedding tears, or striking commotions

But through undeclared motions, unstated eyes and unarticulated expressions

One day we will surely meet and be in this world with our promises

And sitting together in the hours of darkness, calculating our hits and misses

And then laugh at our flaws and celebrate our wishes.

One day we will surely meet our conclusions

And it will be an entrance for new illusions, illustrations and even implosions.
