Being High!

If you are high on drugs, are you really high?

You could be high even when you simply cry

or on gulps of flavors that were originally not meant to try

One can get high from fragrance of dead roses that are withered and dry

hours of efforts cannot, may be a glance can

years of association cannot, may be a touch can

You could be conditional and perceive being high

or you can be unconditional and experience The high

Close your eyes, there is then a darkness,

then there is darkness when your eyes are wide awake,

you can be high in either only if you don’t use any as alibi

If you are high on drugs, are you really high?

You can be with your partners in crime and try to be high

you can be high in isolation and challenge masses by your smile

You can be the face and the mighty, it brings you a high

but for world when you cease to exist, will you experience similar high!

Be the adolescent pupil and yet the reason for legendry masters high

its then the innocence and not the arrogance causing high

You can be the reason for someone’s high

if only you can naturally be high for someone

You can be artlessly high when you get a touch and rub on your thigh

or you can be high in this very persons absence while the years are going by

If you are high on drugs, are you really high?

Your presence can be that which creates high

if only your absence was never a reason for someone’s high

You can ruffle societies and continue to enjoy its perils and highs

or you can simply calm your soul and surrender to its highs

It’s not the candid unfaithful that hurts, the pretentious faithful who does

learn to get high on the truth that is beneath every lie

There’s drama which is not for real and then there are artists who are

getting high on the drama is a drama, in times get high on the artist for real

If you are not high on yourself, might as well you should one day try

If you are high on drugs, are you really high?

Cheers,

Kunal!

P.S. Sometimes time is not the healer but timing of the situation is
