an absolute dreamlike bliss
felt in the within of kisses
shared between lovers
is so clearly evident
by an synchronized urge
to breathe in rushed gasps of air
in the in-between moments
of ever reincarnating love

something that happens
in the in-between of all the things
is placed like some local cheese
between slices of foreign bread
it’s all about treading the thin line
at least that’s what they say
and all i do is sit amongst
in the in-between of their wisdom

neither black nor white
a delicate balance of brown
neither left or right
like an eye of the epicentre
in all the white shades of black
and all the black shades of white
in all the grey shades of the day
and all the colours of the night

neither the void, nor the complete
i feel so united yet discrete
just ever so perfectly, in between
i feel so within and yet without
reading in between the lines
feeling those white spaces
hearing in between the music
enjoying the rests of silence

harmony and symphony
in the in-betweens of life
makes me marvel
at the in-between moments
of usual and the astonish
of addition and deletion
of and not
of

---------------------------

Most people I know are caught in the fluid state of in-betweenness, engulfed by the flow of life - which after all maybe a river of dreams, where there are more than two banks (near side and far side). What then, if you are caught in the rapids, in the exact epicentrical eye of the current.... neither side is particularly near or far. This just goes to say that nothing is two dimensional except maybe the coldness of humans to other beings (humans or otherwise); the concept of us and them is so terribly inappropriate, isn't it? Maybe, I am completely clouded and living in that blurred area of incorrectness....

Well, just thinking aloud.... thanks a lot for coming by...

Sudhir, I find your philsophy most interesting. I do often feel kind of in between everything. It's an odd feeling.
I also wonder are dreams life, and life dreams? And how would we ever know?
Enjoyed the poem, lots.

Doesn't it show the need for a fine balance in this 'complicated' life?...i guess there are always two sides to a coin, and from this clouded & blurred state only (i don't call it incorrectness), clarity evolves ... interesting write here, Sudhir...liked it...

Sudhir, the very nature of being alive is that we are always in motion as we travel between extremes. As we live, we are all always between these extremes. Only death has certainty of position.

As always, you seem to have caught me in an in-between moment, attending to day-to-day mundane needs, while my mind is flying outside in the stars. Your poetry always stimulates deeper thinking.
