by Tapabrata Mukherjee
He was the one
So is she
And I am the result that shines in glee
Of a perversion:
It was never a life before you find warmth –
Yet, you are born in darkness and cold
And the fire she lit up gave you warmth,
As it warmed your father
An ancient source:
The light you see is so dark that you see none,
But feel them all who lived and live
Within you.
