When Two Worlds Collide


My world collides with hers – my order her chaos,

I operate on reason; she is flooding emotions.

My vision is the opposite of hers – facts based on documents,

Her is just a feeling – nothing more.

Every time I speak she rolls her eyes on me,

As if she is tired of the boring citations from the countless books I’ve read.

Every time she speaks I feel utterly confused from the confidence she has

Yet I never seem to take her seriously – her truth is always an inkling.

She is the Yang to my Yin – yet I don’t want to admit it.

Her unruly world pulls me in harder; I lose touch with my reality.

Her voice so silent yet so powerful keeps me unarmed, yet always in unease.

Muffled words – unclear if she is imagining again or telling it how it actually is.

My world collides with hers on every instance – she is like a raging river mid monsoon season,

I am steadfast, grounded like centuries old uninhabited forest.

She is the hurricane of raw excitement,

Yet I am the harsh dessert – both dangerous in their domain.

And here I stand perplexed of how this mayhem is so appealing to me – everything I am not,

Everything I am running away from.

My world colliders with hers – the brightness of the known and darkness of what it might have been.

She is the sinner in the eyes of other, I am the saint who is meant to be.

One word and I am again disoriented, lost in her thoughts provoking me step out of the clear lines.

Is she trying to kill me with her mischievous smile or trying to free me from my caged mind?

Is she the punishment for my self-resentment or the salvation of my tortured consciousness?

My world collides with hers every breath I take – she is my reflection in the broken mirror,

She is everything I am trying to be – so effortless and charming,

She is my inner voice of what I really need.

When nights are cold and days are heavy, she is always next to me – indivisible to others

But so real to me.

I have fallen for her strength yet I am unable to see her in me.

She is bold to the bone, refuses to bow when I am willing to bend the knee

She is what I am capable of but yet scared to take the leap of faith.

She is me but not controlled by fears, always free.

One day I wish these two worlds embrace each other not colliding like a war for power.

One day I wish her to be on the other side of the mirror, not trapped by frames and reflective surfaces,

One day I wish she closes the door from the other side not me!
