A Dialogue between Two Intimate Strangers

Dr Sudhansu Dash

Never have we ever met

Ever we have never met

Nothing more than managing to know

That we are not together

 I invite you to come to me

Into the inside of this man

Ever written dangerous in all your scriptures

Before life dreamt of revealing itself.

I am mad

Because I trust no reason

I sing and dance in tune with my heart

My intimate stranger!

 Not a question you are to find an answer

Not a problem you are to search a solution

 A mystery you are to get myself dissolved

Just with a passion to unlearn you

To lose myself in the centre of your cold flame

To relax into my own ordinariness

No desire to be anything else.

We are alive here

Just to prove that

We are able to dare to die a death.

Because I do not live a life

I can dare to die a death
