Synonymous Poem by RAJ VIKRAM

Puzzled by my myriad ways
that defy logic, rhyme or reason,
you needn't be befuddled
trying to zero in on the real me.

I may seem indecipherable
when trying to sort out the
greater puzzle that you are.
But I wouldn't call it quits.

The real me is beyond the
straitjackets of conformity and
in me there are recesses that
I too may never access.

But my constant refrain is to
be intelligible to you.
That has been my wont
ever to make me parochial.

So as to be narrowed down to
a perspicacity that's well
within your confines
that are indefatigable.

It is not that I construe you
as a limited being with a
possessive worldview.
But I am too overawed.

Only thing is that I should
become what you yearn in
fits and starts at least so that
I can synchronize with you.

Want to be with you in
such moments however
transient they may be.
Transposed and transformed.

But don't belittle my credentials for you may never see a more veracious being than this soul sodden with intangibles.

Voracious is my urge to read
you in ways beyond the normal realms and I read you to become one with you in each syllable.

Simply there is a place where
our confines overlap to
become contumacious
and then be synonymous.
