Each seeking life in her own abyss 
Crucified by the other's silence 
Waiting on night to deliver your bliss 
A soul of peace a world of violence 
The divine divided by divinity 
Trapped in the madding throng 
Walled in the other half of your insanity 
Your dreams are all real your reality all wrong -Nausher

you follow the truth of shadows naked
dreamers dream by the light of the hall
you search the dark for something sacred
to find the night nailed to the wall
- Nausher

spasms of shadows pulse the walls inside
you are a pebble in the surge of drawing tide
infinity kills breath with a bluster of wind
everything you are not, you once might have been


-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

Through tunnels and doors
you ached you'd be free, 
The doors lead to walls
and the labyrinth leads to me


- Nausher Banaji

a night pummelled by gales of memory,
spasms of shadows marooned on masonry
a ripple of gasps from behind the curtain
you part them only to enter oblivion


-Nausher Banaji
