Prisha Shashi Lekhak

Ever wondered if,
Under the same
ashen sky,
We could meet again?

Where i knowing everything
And you knowing nothing
Would be the only difference
That separates

Separates your Chaos
From mine.
Your abyss,
From my
Cornucopia

Perched beneath
Your echoes of smiles,
Could I shed tears?
Tears that reflect the rainbows
Glinting in your dilated iris

‘Take a picture in your head
While you still can,’
I’d say
For soon it’ll find a place
