Emotional territory
I had never been there before,
An emotional territory that was weighing on me and my soul, everyday a bit more,
There were relays of feelings printed on the reels of mind,
Where each feeling sought something that it could never find,
That unfulfilled desire, a darling wish that always remained a dream,
Now lost in the confusion where desires become wishes and wishes turn into desires representing heart’s every scream,
And this is where I was now, a territory that I owned, but knew nothing about,
It was like a reality based on known facts, yet the mind had its reasons to doubt,
Every feeling, that rushed to seek this unknown desire,
Not knowing what to like, what to love and what to admire,
Because desires had turned into wishes and wishes into desires,
Resulting in a quest of mind and heart that first seduces, and then tires,
As I stood in the middle of this unfamiliar emotional territory,
I thought of her and our love’s moments eternal and transitory,
And then desires were vanquished by once felt emotions,
Nothing was left of the wishes too, because now they were reduced to known and loving sensations,
Her and my feelings, in our territory of known feelings,
Then I reposed in this territory to think of her and let her old sensations be the cause of my temporary healings,
I am here in the same territory still, with the few known and many unknown feelings,
And I often wonder what defines my mind’s endeavours and my heart’s beatings,
Maybe one may never know and I may know the least about this emotional reality,
So I see no harm resting here in her emotional territory and her old memories, my own space of tranquility!
