From the depths of a mirror a stranger looks back
Stretched on the wheel theres no turning back
Your reflection wont freeze the lines on your hand
You trace and erase your face in the sand.
Nausher

You were watching yourself  by the window
Running past days that pass too soon
The doors you forced
didn't lead to freedom
They lead just to another room

- Nausher Banaji

You muddle amidst murals
A promise and a prophesy in each hand
Sprawling on mirrors of frozen summer
You forget where your story began
Straining through the ebbs you fall
Grasping a fleeting embrace
The doors are peeling off the walls
Your heart is etched on your face-Nausher

Staring down doors into the night
Running blind from wrong to right
Grasping tight your shadow's hand
You only survive because you don't understand
There is a stranger in your head
Basking naked in the rain
Your mind is clear he said
But your soul is insane- Nausher Banaji

pebbles in the suck of tide
harpooned to your voyage inside
nights pummelled by memory
shadows marooned on masonry
a ripple of gasps from behind the curtain
an odyssey to the rim of oblivion -Nausher Banaji

like pebbles in the suck of tide
harpooned on your voyage inside
a night pummelled by gales of memory,
spasms of shadows marooned on masonry
a ripple of gasps from behind the curtain
an odyssey returned from oblivion-Nausher
