Looking Into You Poem by lalitha iyer

I see
in you
somebody I left
behind somewhere
as I walked
along the path
invisibly familiar
are your parts
I know not thy face
nor your name
or your person and mine
how they link in twined
but somehow
something in you
reminds me of ages beyond
that your looks
carry within
a mirror flashing me
and mine stored in thine
that I know you very well
without words
you are mine
that though I speak not
yet I can find it
that your looks are wells
of water imaging dwells
of our pasts
that you were there
with me in touch
that I know you more
than this life could store
that some unseen thread
is tying the knot
from heart to heart
that too familiar are you
to pretend a new
I am yours
a part or thing or thought
or component lot
some blood runs in my vein
same as your timeless brain
Do you read me
I know for sure
I am just in you
yes, you are my home
you are my templing lord.
