Safe Distance

I thought to touch you

But you shrug away

As a touch me not

You closed within yourself.



Lost in your reverie

I wonder about your deep sleep

Were you caught up with the past

Or in meditation.



Your eyes have a twinkle

Seems that you are drugged

Sometime it reflects emptiness

At times an enlightenment of a fakir.



I like the way your face curls up

Into a smile

You seem an unusual soul

With all the resplendence.



Are you a human

Are you a saint

The halo you wear…

Is it to keep a safe distance.



I neither could get close to god

And neither get any closer to you

Maybe, not destined for worldly diligence

Nor the materialism I could have gained.



Your greetings may be a blessing

For those beings around you

I had asked for a simple means from life

Not a person who embraces himself as god.
