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.

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.

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.

With blind eyes
The poet sees
Look, your Alaap has become
My Aleph.
