No Man's Land. Poem by RAJ VIKRAM

Somethings can't be quantified
A few footsteps away
still miles separate,
some emotions can't be defined
for they go beyond
the perceived realms
of what is normal.

Words well inside
but they all can't be conveyed
even when the listener is around
Some pains can't be explained
though one knows what it's about.
so close yet so far,
the distance that can
be covered with a few footsteps
will remain distant.

What to do when the being
is paralyzed into submission,
emotions are quirky as always,
and I realize that some
distances are better not covered.
Better to stand still
and let the emotion take charge.

Let the distance remain.
I too will remain
wedded unwaveringly to
where I stand
In this no man's land
where distances are insignificant.
