FUSION MUSIC

At the very outset
both of us were
like siamese twins
the distance that much
negligible.
Like our physical proximity
like souls and
minds.
Even for a single day
we couldn’t live
without seeing
without meeting
without sharing our feelings
either happy or sad.
The distance between us
continued to be nil then.
Remember the days
witnessing couples living
under one roof
yes ,their physical
proximity
that much negligible
yet their minds and souls
existing within
continental distances
that much aloofness
they must have felt.
While discussing such
a tragic existence
our dreams were
our own
not anybody else’s
our life a
model to others
an example worth imitating.
Without we being aware
with the crawling
of time
like stars
moving away
from each other
with the passage of
light years
we too moved away
from each other.
Physical closeness
under one roof
okay, we lost control over
our souls and minds
both moving away to
immeasurable distances
like the existence
of two continents
at different corners
of the globe.
Now I wonder whether
the physical nearness
pleasant smiling faces
the laughter together
the pranks being played
like children upon each other
by the couples
seen through daily life
all the signs of
all the models of
harmonious existence
whether such harmony
exists in such relationships
in the real sense of that term
or everything a camouflage?
In a world where
East and West meet
and fuse into each other
forming fusion music.
I wish we could play
Jugalbandhi – the meet
and fusion of East and West.
