Mirage

Do not look deep into my eyes..
They will narrate you stories
Hidden and caged somewhere in my soul
for long, without light.
You might get blinded by the immense darkness
that lies within-
this set of smiling teeth.
Dare not to empty my heart
You will be overburdened by your own images
Everything that is connected to you
is stored there, without your knowledge.
Don't try to understand me
I am a mirage..
One moment here, gone in another
No scope of staying with you forever.
Enjoy my presence without knowing 
the truth of my existence.
Never dare to come near me
Or your dreams might be broken
Let me smile as you pay no heed
Where I stand just to vanish.
Do not look back and search for me
For I would be gone in some other world
Where no such pain as your ignorance exists
Where no such hurt as memories stay
Where the only relief is wind
Into some desert 
For the sand-dunes are blessed
They change continuously, without attachments
Happy with the golden rays ...
