Constellation

A twinkling connection

The distance, to blame

Lust and disdain

Now and again

My mind so chaotic

Decision, in a muddle

Lustful passion

Deep, in denial

Dismaying actions

Injured your ambiance

An unhinged affair

A black storm; so dense

Fingernails dig into skin;

Pain doesn’t bruise me

Plum red skin;

Sight doesn’t blind me

Some days, a fleeting detest

Every night, my only guest

Temporary departure

Temporary arrival

Temporary hope

Remembrances, eternal

An irreplaceable dwelling

Perhaps will never together be

But arrive whatever may

Ageless constellation; I promise

Ageless constellation; you and me

Chaos

Ego slashed my skin

Harsher than that blade

I employed, to annihilate

Chaos

Ignorance kept me warm

A garden by the fireplace

Clad in sunset hues

Such chaos

I floundered

Amidst great rebellion

To get to my finish flag

But seasons change

Midwinter sang

A beautiful voice

Strip me off my body

Undress my ego

He said

My unclothed being

Won’t shudder in cold

He said

Canopy

Layers of body

I yearn to shed

Or at least explode

Explode into a glittering dust

That of blue, green and red

A desire to be one

One with the droplets of ocean

One with grit and grime

One with the air you breathe

One with the fire you drive

Until then,

You must be my canopy

A musical dive

An infinite depth

My favorite sky.

I, for you

I throb

Drenching in veneration

Like skin on drum

Beats that play for you

 

I dance

Drowning in love

Like melody from His flute

Tears enough to bathe you

 

I cry

Burning in passion

Like an ant in wilderness

Yearning to merge with you

 

I laugh

Soaking in ecstasy

Like sugar in warm milk

I become, to serve you

 

Yoga

I am the lock, for which

You bequeathed me the key

Only if I master the combination, the

Existence’s revelation is for me

 

Touch

Shrewd eyes with lustrous twinkle

Frosty hair and petite wrinkles

A full moon beneath black sky

An ocean into which I’d voluntarily dive
 

 Conscious of your poise

I tenderly stepped

On grass.

Or rather, on myself.
 

Your charm wooed my spirit

Your wisdom put me into trance

Your voice robbed my heart

But I alone, stole your glance
 

 I was caught guilty though

You knew it all along, I am sure

With shrill eyes, an examination

Heart pummeled and I was near
 

Divinity echoed in my ear and

A cherubic palm rested on my hand

A minute longer and

I’d have fractured into sand
 

I simmered in ecstasy

A love-struck chaos

Stirred the butterflies

And let them out loose
 

Until now, you only touched me

In ways I couldn’t gauge.

Tonight, you touched me

And I know nothing else

But to eternally change.

 

 

Unreturning

I am terribly spent

With life and death

A circular bondage

The distinction, only a breath

 

 Till it disappears,

Each passing number

The subtle thread,

Gets shorter and shorter

 

Don’t look for me

I’ll be far away

In a remote dimension of resonance

Where ripples appear

At the tip of my hands

 

 Into the oblivion I see,

It is strikingly blank

And when I cut the thread,

I am no longer coming back.
