Numberless costumes yet the soul finds its mate! (Magic and Alchemy)

 

As we look into

each other's eyes, 

I get transported to

numberless places

where I have looked at you

with the same intensity

and you have captivated me

with your overflowing love.

Somewhere in space and time,

we have loved each other

in numberless costumes

I have danced to your music

I have captured you on my canvas

You have given words to my

incoherent thoughts

You have taught me pottery

We have created sculptures.

As we look into

each other's eyes, 

I learn the secret to this familiarity.

Numberless roles we have played

in this stage of life;

We have put on various costumes

I have taken the male costume at times

and at other times, the female costume

Yet the soul manages to find its companion 

We find our way back to each other

to love and be loved in numberless ways

despite the changing of the costumes.

P.S. This poem is inspired by a poem of Rabindranath Tagore in 'Gitanjali'
