Duality



Duality

-Tariqul Islam Siam

Fragmented memories, incoherent in time;

as if veiled by mist, ringing like a chime;

Events unfold, stories told;

faced crises so bold, it feels so old!

The mind once sharp

Nothing could interrupt

Now beset by duality

Nigh it is to self-destruct

Everything so distant and hazy

Still no signs of insanity!

The cortex sits lazy!

Erosion will take hold even on the sharpest of minds

Slow poison it is, leaves no signs

Had a record of this life existed!

I envision a day

Sitting alone keeping it on the play

O sweet mind!

Unweave not these remaining memories

Fueling the crisis of the self!

Let not this coherency be ceased

In oblivion we would delve!

The beginning, interlude, the end! 

A thread! you must mend!

To shatter the delusion of self

I beseech! I beseech!

Stinging sounds grasps like leech

...

Who am I? Who was I?

Is there anyone who can tell!?

Did you forget me?

In the chaos of billion thoughts

I shall see,

the connection beyond the dots!

A hazy mind finally at rest.

Go ahead!  Finish the test!

A life old but new

Years remain very few!
