~~ Freedom ~~

Freedom is imprisoned in the flesh,
Restricted to the unrestricted soul.
Each must hearken to the inner voice,
Even when there seems but little choice,
Demanding nothing more than being whole,
Opening each gift of time afresh,
Maintaining through one's courage, one's control.

~~ Persona ~~

Some people are a ship, and some a hearth;
Some are wind, and some are summer sun;
Some are many, some are only one;
Some seek the whole while others seek the part.
But those who travel also stay at home,
While those at home are also much abroad,
For all of life must be an open road
That leads us to the place from whence we roam.
There is no difference what we do or are
That makes a difference to the naked soul
That stands before the mirror of the whole
While sailing,
Sailing bright beyond the sphere.

~~ Waves ~~

The wave without becomes a wave within,
Semblance of a transcendental self
Unmoved by the cool carnage of its motion.
Nor ought we not recover from this ocean
And build once more upon its nameless gulf.
May our love be at the heart of being,
In which all loved ones lost might
Rise again....
Fly upon imaginary wings
Over every dark and windswept storm.
Rise above all turbulence and harm
Yearning for eternal peace and joy.
Even as the winds your worlds destroy,
In you there is an alien voice, and calm,
Giving forth the word that rapture brings:
Holy is all life and death!
There is a paradise within each breath....

My last Wishes...

(The contemplation cropped in my mind when the slumber refused to blind me irrespective of the sedatives I took. It doesn't refer to anyone. Hence, it shouldn't be taken personally by any person under any circumstances. Just take it as a piece of Art.)

I wish I could open up,
I swear I would have told you then.
But it’s about someone for whom I don’t exist,
Someone, who left me without a Goodbye Kiss.

I wish I could forget,
I am sure I wouldn’t have been in such pain.
But everything keeps coming back,
And now I have figured out, I was the one who was insane.

I wish I could hold the tears in my eyes,
I know, then I wouldn’t have cried for nights.
But it just struck me, “You” always belonged to someone else,
And with me, “You” were just friend or just pretended to be one.

I wish I wouldn’t have taken those long walks.
I know it wouldn’t have happened, those long talks.
But sometimes you just remain your original self and go with the flow,
And you realise soon I’ve nothing left to offer anything unique from my store.

I wish I wouldn’t have been touched,
I think it was then when I lost myself.
But at times, you just get carried away,
And later, you have to make futile attempts to keep your memories at bay.

I wish I wouldn’t have thought you’ll ever be mine,
I remember you told me, I should stop trying.
But we kept crossing each other’s lives,
And that always made me go down on my knees and endeavour still.

I now wish, I wouldn’t have wished at all.
I am quite certain, I could have saved myself from this fall.
But I still wish, “You” get what “You" deserve,
And I know you’ll have this one preserved.

But now I’ll say Goodbye.
And I know you will seek and keep a track.
But remember Darling! This time I will never come back.

(P.S.: I reiterate not to be taken personally in any which way by anyone)

~~ Emotionally Eunuch ~~

Man woman entwined
Orgiastic emotions
Roller coaster ride
Back drop silence
Seminal splurging
At high tide and
Ebbed desires that
Slip and slide undraped
The Eunuch cried

Passions of a lusty woman
Burglarized jewels
Of a first night
Castrated chaotic
Cataleptic coming of Age
An incomplete bride
The bed, the pillow
The bed sheet hidden pride
Rearing a hope
And a split
Open wide
The Eunuch lied

At night time
She never sleeps
The sweat of a drunken man
On her body creeps
Mechanical pain
Of love faking
As the Eunuch weeps
Outside the silence
A dizzy dawn
Caught in a mindless sweep
Neither man nor woman
A stump growing
Out of a garbage heap
Through the curtains
Of depravity

A panic gripped heart
As germs of fear biting
Every ounce of passion and potency,
Baffled by the onslaught of those faces,
I stare in sheer disbelief,
At the army of mutilated faces,
Unfolding a trauma of ugliness
Circulating spasms of fear…

To be a woman
She tried...
And gave birth
An uncut umbilical poetic pause
Words bleeding and left inside…
Miscarriage aborted... agony
That she could not veil...
An epitaph.
A mound
A tombstone of love denied…

~~ Eve’s souvenir ~~

I give to you
A fire to light inside your heart,
To feel the warm embers glow.
A piece of the sun's warm rays,
To bask in its fiery show.

I give to you
A piece of a rainbow to color your world,
When all seems totally gray.
Some roses for the sweet perfume,
To kiss your senses with its bouquet.

I give to you
A sprinkling of some twinkling stars,
To wish upon at night.
The morning dew to kiss the day,
To unwind in its delight.

I give to you
A summer's breeze to caress your face,
To show that someone cares.
The sweet song of the nightingale,
To remind you that I am always there.

I give to you
My lasting friendship, always true.
A gift of love to hold inside,
Whenever you feel blue,
Or just because you need a friend.

I give to you
Myself
As a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a friend
This woman...
That will always be there in some opus
For you!!

~~ Spare me ~~

Oh, spare me precious
Of empty words and filthy mind games
Fear not, for I would not come to harm
Nor to destroy
I carry flames
But to enlighten your dawn...

Too long, my love I spoke in whispers
When in my soul the storm was roaring,
But now time has come to bear the witness,
Of this truth to be reborn.

I bring no flowers, nor precious gifts,
No dreams, no promises to keep.
But ask what's wrong in doing good
When that is all I need.

To draw into your pristine face
The honest smile was made.
I'd kill and may not rest until I found
A way to see you at peace.

Fear not my heart, my love is chaste
Send me to hell if it has any adulteration
There’s nothing you'd say or do that I'd not endure
For I know since long that you are my intimate one.

My mind was stymied, the steady lie
That I'd love you less, it made me ply
This truth unveiled, I breathe again
I'm ready to begin with the glory of pain.

Now, I set free this spirit bound to you
And remit all my devotion on your way
I pray you,
Do concede or into knowing me
Stop blacking your soul and your own way...
