Identifiable Anonymity Poem by Suraj Samtani

Although we meet and talk often, &

Although we're accustomed to each other's traits and habits,



There still lies an alarming abyss, &

There's still a disturbing distance,



Of emotional intimacy, &

Of mental connect.





I know there's something you won't tell me,

But that's something you can't hide from me.



You may feel that you can't tell, or

You may feel that you shouldn't.



But please be assured, &

Please be convinced.





That I too am human, &

I too am beautifully imperfect.



I too have made comical mistakes, &

I too have committed justifiable sins.



I am just like you, &

I am like everyone else too.





Laden with guilt, &

Drenched in hurt,



I know what you can't tell, &

I've heard what you haven't said.



I've been where you are, &

I can see where you'll go.





I plead you now to stop your wandering, &

I request you now to start emotionally releasing.



You have my trust, &

You have my support.



I won't let you sink lower than you wish, &

I won't let you transcend higher than you can.





Within the boundaries of your self-guided conscience, &

Within the realms of your self-determined reality,



Together we'll heal your past & restart, &

Thereafter you'll live unguarded and unmasked.



We'll then communicate only in silence, &

We'll then be strangers with just a soul connect.





Sans attachments, &

Sans personal agendas,



Sans identities, &

Sans karmic baggages,



There will be nothing left between us,

Except an endless abyss of brute bliss.
