53
There is someone familiar in the mirror
Ageing so swiftly subtly
I never noticed the passage of Time
But there is a stranger in my soul
Someone I no longer wish
To share a space with.
The skies are gray and wet
With rain falling down swiftly
How will my multicoloured Soul
Survive the sweep up
to the indigo space
Where the stars
Hold conversations over immortality?
Thiruvathira Thirunal Lakshmi Bayi is the 12th Princess of the erstwhile royal family of Travancore.
