me And ME

The impish me
and the absolute ME

Many think a contradiction
but a perfect complement

My love, my joy, my laughter and my play,
but a façade to cover the absolute stillness that I am

My words and my songs, my smiles and my mirth
are but a ploy to entrap you in my limitless void

Both men and Gods were made in this void
O Beloved if you dare, come – dissolve

I was born in my mother's womb
but she did not create me
I eat the salt of this earth
but I do not belong to her

It is through this body that I walk
I am not it
It is my mind through which I work
but it could not contain me

In the limitations of time and space I live
but it has not denied me
unboundedness

I was born like you, I eat like you,
sleep like you, and I will die like you
but the limited has not limited me,
life's bondages have not bound me
