Becoming music

A piece of music

Of violin, drums and flute fillings

Muse for eternity, amusing me

Bestowing words for my poetry

 

Peck my ears and promptly

Arouse the poet within

Lines I never knew breathed

In the gush of a drum’s beat

 

The peck leads to an affair

Lasting as long as the song

I close my eyes while it lasts

Guiding energies to the apex

 

Like all, it ends where it began

I smile reflexively and repeat

That piece of music

Till I devour
Till I reverberate

Till I become music

 

Plea

The body shrieks

To know, the boundaries wail

To transcend skin, attempts I make

You gently make me wait

A wait, O' so long

A longing, ever so deep

A depth, particularly endless

O' Guru, I beseech for a mere peek

In your alleyway now I am

Fasten me, lest I go astray

In the cosmic ocean of your dictionary,

you say,

I am nothing but your wordplay

Anymore

I don’t crave that glimpse,

Anymore.

 

I don’t dream of your touch,

Anymore.

 

I don’t think of that body,

Anymore.

 

You are an illimitable presence.

A spirit. A clap. A roar.

 

You are that which I can’t ignore,

Anymore.

 

Dissolve

An unfathomable mayhem

Stacked up for a lifetime

I am determined;

To pursue the path

A path; leading to

An immortal truth

The truth; that has

Perpetually been alive

 

With a transmission

Of that

Which you cannot teach

A longing

So deep; to breach

Breach; the boundaries

Of the limited

Limited; of the mind and body.

 

O Shiva! Make me see;

Make me see what you see

Let it thunder and rain

My clouded ignorance

Make it dissolve;

Make me dissolve

In the juice of your fragrance

 

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.
