The Namesake


Naming myself, but I ask is that me?
I'm lost somewhere in this sunlight
somewhere in darkness of night
Somewhere in noise of world
somewhere in silence of ocean
Somewhere in wrath of a devil
somewhere in warmth of mother
Somewhere in materialism
somewhere in spritualism
Somewhere in you
somewhere in me
I'm gathering all parts
but don't get a name for me then
I think its better to be lost
so atleast I have a "name"
In parts I have different names
But together still looking for a name for namesake

After reading 'The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri' and watching the movie based on it.

  2. this particular poem is really interesting. it gives a wave of positive and negative feelings as one jumps from one line to the next. I must say your EQ is twice the size of your IQ. Keep up the good work.
