Are You True?

By Sanghamitra Aich

 

And in between the red and black,

 

There are unfinished verses

 

And silent sighs.

 

You can’t see them,

 

You cannot hear them,

 

Until you close your eyes.

 

If you dive into the deep

 

Of blue seas,

 

You will reach a new land.

 

Leap of faith, dunes of sand.

 

It’ll all fall away,

 

Crash down,

 

Come through.

 

Melting ice, freezing fire.

 

Are you true?

 

Do you know ?

 

There’s a place you have to go?

 

Beyond the red and black,

 

Cross blue seas and new lands.

 

A lone leaf, on a black corner

 

As cars keep passing by.

 

Are you true?

 

Or do you lie?
