Name And Fame Poem by Gajanan Mishra

2
Your name, here
In me.
And taking your name
I took sleeping pills.
I saw you
In dreams,
And the dreams
Told me to wait
Till morning.
The morning came
And asked my address
I told your name,
And they said
Take away all fame.

My name, the same
As yours.
Yours, I heard
From the bird.
The bird, that was
Yesterday here,
Present not today.
Today, I am here
For you.
You are the truth, and
I have forgotten you.
Fearful you are,
Seeing me in the sky
As a star, all fair.
