A Poem in Three Acts


This poem is in response to reading Manish Gaekwad's fascinating blog, The Alibi Of Life. I thank my namesake, Amit Tiwari for drawing my attention to it.

(1)
Last night
While leafing through
Pages torn from your Soul
I beheld
A sudden passage of
Flickering images:


Words, shadows
Songs
All wrapped in
An infinite Silence-

In hope poisoned with despair
I looked everywhere
But found you nowhere.

*
(2)
From beyond the void

A voice
Cuts across-

A mirror cracks:

Caught in its countless broken pieces
Are glimpses of doomed destinies, obscured identities,
Dismembered memories and forgotten histories

Of battles won and loves lost-
A commentary
On things at once
Momentous and momentary.

*
(3)
With blind eyes
The poet sees

Look, your Alaap has become
My Aleph.
