What I see

I looked at you and I saw

Old pains, new desires and longings…

Suppressed hopes and hidden dreams

Ripe as a mango waiting to fall, but far up and away from seeking eyes.

I looked at you and I saw

All the seasons morphed into one

Bottled like something in a jar

Fermenting,

Getting potent with time.

I looked at you and I saw

My bare soul reflected in your eyes.
