Who am I?
I am the silence you heard in the depth of your night…
I am the Not-I bird who knocked at your door..
I am the little wing that grasped your finger..
I am the nobody that you wanted to ignore..
I am the freedom you wanted to get drunk with all your life..
I am the shatterer of walls that you yourself want to be..
I am the awkward dream you wanted to hide..
I am the feather you left lying on the floor while running after time..
I am the tomorrows you wish to possess but dare not to acquire…
I am the flitting beam of blue light that you attempt to comprehend..
I am the question without answers..
I am the answer with no questions..
I am the mirror that laughs at your decayed innards..
I am that which grips you by your wrist in loneliness..
I am that which you walk away from in your haste to capture lies..

What more can i say? I don’t have to pay and buy books if I feel like reading poetry.

Thanks.. but I tell you there are others who have commented differently for the same poem here..

Awesome poem.
The rest of your poetry is nice too.
The problem with poetry, though, is that it is so easily misunderstood.

I am the reader who made this poem.
I am the luckly fellow who came to know “Who are you?”.

There’s nothing about your gender on your blog either!
I’m not much into English poetry. So, I can’t comment on that. I like your English though

Ok, an image has just finished loading next to “Who am I?”. If that’s you, it answers my question.

Yes. I uploaded the image only yesterday after one reader commented innumerable times, added me up on gtalk and chatted with me for over 20 minutes, and all the while assuming I was a guy!!!!!
The first thing that came to my mind, was you! lol..

Looking forward for more!
Cheers and have a nice holiday!

Is the poem complete? Or, it is a song that will keep floating in different heights everyday, to write to story of life.
Brilliant.

Hi Waseem… it is true in a way that I stopped the poem abruptly because I could go on and on once I start off about myself.. hehehe 
Kidding, of course!

How refreshing!
I followed your links into a labyrinth of words and images like Alice In Wonderland and found myself dragging myself out of selfpity and melancholy and laughing and feeling, even for just a moment…..damn you!
