I Remembered Myself

I wanted a rose
you reminded me its thorns
I wanted purity
you reminded me its austereity
I wanted to work
you reminded me my health
I wanted beauty
you reminded me reality
I wanted solitude
you reminded me my friends
I wanted art
you reminded me its laziness
I wanted poetry
you reminded me its over indulgence
I wanted books
you reminded me my duties
I wanted God
you reminded my 'you'
I wanted you
I remembered myself
lost long ago
In unknown lands
of imaginations untold
yet by some
destiny unrecognised
recognised me.
