I've been down many roads,
Called a lot of places home.
Made more than a few friends
Intending to forget none.

Words may live forever,
Ink has a life of it's own.
My letters have lost all meaning,
The messenger goes on and on.

My clock keeps on ticking,
Night gives way to dawn.
The old unwilling to wither
Wishing to see the new born.

I closed my eyes and opened up my heart
Threw my hands up in the air and said I love you
You chuckled out aloud and shook your head
Threw your arms around me and hugged real tight
You stepped back a bit and I held your hands
You looked into my eyes and I stared back
You shook your head again and turned around
I stood there and watched you walk away
I stood still for a while and then laughed out loud
And that's when I saw YOU just passing by
I called out aloud and asked your name
You stopped surprised and asked who was I
I closed my eyes and opened up my heart

I'm looking for you.
I suppose for a reason or two.
Maybe I need something
Or perhaps I want to give.

In any case all I ask is
To remember it's about me.
Yes I'm seeking you but
Only then sought let yourself be.

i shut my ears
and there's still that buzz
coming from but here
taunting me the 'how it wuz'

i shut my eyes
well, as if that'd help
and answer me why
i've lately still been myself

Now you know what you want to feel
It's just that you want me to make you feel it
It's just that I too want you to feel it
And that is exactly why you want to feel it

It's the beginning of this mutual knowledge
That stirs up this chaos of thoughts
Chaos that somehow make perfect sense
Almost like fulfillment of a prophecy

Seems like a colossal yet well contrived conspiracy
Of all elements ethereal and of earth
Seems like the pieces have been forever moving 
Only You and I have just joined in

There is a certain slant of light now
That those dull clouds are obediently sifting
But then the air is humid and heavy 
Ready to shower emotions in rain drop every

There is a cool breeze that wasn’t before
That slowly ruffles your hair and scarf
I can so clearly hear the rustling of leaves
They too are exclaiming the anticipation I feel

I can see the smile you haven’t yet smiled
And I can see that you know I've seen it
I can feel goose bumps all over me
Only they are the result of your anxiety

I know which tune your mind is dancing to now
You have only just perceived its puzzling prelude
But I have already heard the entire symphony
In both our hearts it's loudly beating

I can feel the shiver that's rising in you
I foresee which toes you're going to twitch
I already know the path of the drop of sweat
Trickling on your back even you don’t know where

I can see the explosions of colour in your eyes
I can feel the feelings that possess your heart
I can palpate each beat that your heart's skipping
I can conceive in you the arrival of inevitability

Nothing is now what was a moment ago
And I know it never will be once this one passes
But it will be an eternity before that happens
And I'll tell you it's only the beginning

The beginning of this conspired prophecy
The beginning of this explosive harmony
The beginning of this heart & soul piercing melody
The beginning of this moment's eternity

I walked on
Just for the fun of doing it.
Never knowing where to go.
And never wanting to.

And then you came
And made me want from life.
But that too came with a price
Of parting you.

I look into the shadows.
I listen to the voice of night.
I feel the air crawling on my skin
As if choosing the right spot.
I taste the damp chill.
I smell Your presence.
And I know You have arrived.

I have felt it all before.
I have let You come and go.
I have sworn to forbid you
From presence and existence.
I have battled You and bled.
I have failed and fallen.
And here You come again.

I shut my eyes.
You lurk even closer.
I spread my arms and bar you
But too slow, too late.
I finally give up.
You win, You gloat.
We pounce.

I.
I am Sanket.
I am a Sign.
A Gesture. An Expression.
A look of an eye. A twitch of a smile.
Know me?
Show me how quick you are.
Catch a glimpse, a nod, a word, a touch.
A Sanket.
I am a meaning.
Define yourself.
I am an omen.
Decide yourself.
A message, a hope, a ray of light, a lovenote, you wrote yourself.
I am Sanket.
I am a mystery, a fantasy - imagine yourself. I am an epic in two syllables itself.
I am Sanket.
I.
I am a cipher.
Come. Decipher Yourself.

I am lost
In the heap of myself
Squeezed to nothing
And stretched to infinity
All strangled up in myself
Twisted and knotted
Every bit incomprehensible

I am thrown beyond the end
In the confinements of infinity
Seeking a crowded solitude
Flying among the forces of gravity
Falling from elevations unreachable
Drowning into depths unsinkable

I am but a dispersed flare
Or am I an extinguished inferno
A glowing darkness, a singing silence
A tower sans base, a corner of a sphere
A thought never conveyed
A language never expressed
I am a blot of wisdom insane

I have no value, no significance
No identity, no existence
I am no matter, no vacuum
No mass, no energy
Just a nought, a cipher
That’s all I am!
