Your Aura and My Illusion

4th December 2013 (Week 1)

'Illusion' is a series of pictures taken at various points of time with one thought in mind: 'Illusion'. All pictures are clicked by a 50mm lens and are retouched very minimal.

A lone, desolate land I was heading to when I decided to take a halt and see if I was going right,
After a long thought process I realized I wasn't,
I was broke and shattered,
I let my ego bent and ask for help,
But I could see no one around.

I was standing alone waiting for a miracle to happen,

I was patient and trying to be in peace,

It wasn't working out until I could sense a vibe coming to me,

No, It wasn't a bad one like I usually sense and run away from,

It was different and I wanted to know it.

Yes, I was cold with the deep dark secrets inside my soul.
Your aura, Your warmth was certainly an alien feeling for my skin,
It melted me, melted me NOT to the core but a certain extent that it started 
making me warm again.

Your aura was so strong and so wide as if it was spread across the sky,
I thought it was just an illusion when my blind eyes saw it,
My conscience felt numb as you inched closer to my cold skin.
My skin could feel your aura wrapping me up,
I could know it was true and not an illusion.

I was no longer letting my mind decide,
I was no longer bounding myself and my desires.
I let myself loose, put my heart right in front of your precious soul,
I wonder if it felt my heart, 
I wonder if you could sense my feelings for you.

I knew you could sense it, 
I knew I was pure and just a little unsure,
You knew how chaotic my mind was right then,
You decided to stay.

Yes! You decided to stay,
Stay but not forever,
You made up your mind to stay until I could be sure and at peace 
and leave once I am walking to the light and on right path
I knew that.

I am sure you don't know when you decided to stay and leave after your purpose was fulfilled,
I by that time had already made up my mind to be a person you would want to be with forever,
And yes! I am that person in my heart,
I just don't show it as openly as you do.

I don't show what I am,
I like living with a different identity and face,
I stay fake because my heart isn't strong enough to take this world of sin,
It ain't strong enough to face the truth and I make it live in an illusion and a different world.

Maybe, that's where I go wrong,
Maybe, that's where I need to change,
Maybe I need to come out of that illusion 
and face the harsh realities and see how strong I am.
