Intuition
by Rachna Vohra
Confide in me, my secret love
Speak to me your mind
Show me what is in your soul
Let me see what I may find
Angels dance about your shadow
Music plays about your breath
Lead me through your glory chambers
Lest I walk towards my death
The candle’s flame burns long tonight
As my lonely blaze dies down
Shadow speaks to me in tongues
That heart and soul confound
Misty moons, vague in the sky
Like eclipses on my heart
All is dark in the holy shrine
Misty eyes tear apart
What is this you’ve told me
Your eyes, in silent words
Averting tragic revelations
That naught but soul has heard
The abysses of indifference
The chambers of false truths
These mournful lies of silence
Forsake my troubled youth
Footsteps paved upon my heart
Tears’ paths engraved in gold
Why can you, oh liberated one
Leave footprints on my soul
Gasping iris succumbs and drowns
As heart screams silent fears
Angels fall and clouds they weep
And I drink of your tears
