(Untitled thus far)

(Written May 30-31, 2010, at age 23.)

I think in music,
I speak through dance,
I listen with my eyes,
And live by chance.

I taste in colours,
I sing in sighs,
I laugh in truths,
And cry through lies.

I breathe through touch,
I see through dew,
I cease in myself,
And am through you.

its never possible, in reality, to cease in self and be through others ...

read "Mirza Ghalib" if possible ...

btw ... Sneha Ghadiali was remembering you ...

I read a lot of Mirza Ghalib :). Still, ceasing in oneself and persisting in others is the ultimate sense of security.

Tell Sneha hi :). Which Vivek is this, by the way??
