|| love-bird ||

on every page of the body
lips have inscribed
unspoken words

in separation
the body
rustles like pages

words
wish to fly
away from my body-book
to become
pages in the book of your body

as after dark
the Desolate Earth
drinks in the sun
after the deadly
catastrophe
the Bleak Earth
gathers dust

after the searing storm
the Breathless Earth
sucks breath from the wind
dried to the core
the Charred Earth
soaks in the wetness from the rain

after the terrible bolt
the Deafened Earth
searches for
the sweetness of solitude
seared with the
piercing light
the Senseless Earth sleeps
in the dark lap of stillness

after a bone dry spell
the Cracked Earth lives
the dew drop
as the Leaf Dappled Autumn Earth
awaits the coming of the spring
so I imbibe you
like breath
in the body
of the Carnal Earth

|| journey ||

within midnight

as the earth sleeps

in each and every corner

the leaves stop shuddering

silence breathes, audibly

Nature starts taking the form

the night is awake

in the slumbering earth

and the stars are shining

though fallen to sleep

she does not dream

she starts a soft conversation

I – live you

and in that only I live myself

I – listen to you

but I hear my own echo

I – see myself

whenever I wish to see you

I – weave your will to live

like my dreams

I – taste your perplexity

like my unbearable anxiety

I – touch the unending end of your soul

inside the endless layers of my soul

I encompass the land of love

in my memories along with you

as the earth sleeps within midnight

and reality is a dream of reality

|| intimacy ||

Tender words

play

like the unborn child

inside the chest of sensations

and fill in the entire body – anonymously

intimate words

push into the dependable hands

and kiss

the cheerless face

salty tears immerse into the

pure moist moment of a kiss

the threshold of mind is covered

with this moistness of words

and the entire body – becomes damp

the thrill inside the heart

manifests inside the body of heart

like the fresh tender softness

of a newborn child

the tenderness of love

flows down into the

soul of this language

a more fascinating effect

than the kiss

the sensation of this story told

|| in my heart of hearts ||

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deeply supped

The golden drops of sunshine have I

Your memories

I have placed beside the crescent moon

Touched with my lips

The glistering, pure dew have I

The vernal seed of your love

Cherished in my heart of hearts

Through the windows of my mind

Somehow

You hold me under your spell

Somehow

Deep within

the labyrinths of my being have I

You, the man of my dreams, remains

Arm in arm

on the journeys within have I

The mate of my soul, my confidante akin

Through the windows of my mind

Somehow

You hold me under your spell

Somehow

Cherished in my heart of hearts

|| i know you ||

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know you

as the flower knows its fragrance

as the water knows its taste

I know you

as the earth knows to take in water

and the water knows to get into the earth

I know you

as the flower knows its fruit

its seed

I know you

as the winds know the monsoon clouds

as the clouds know the thirst of the earth

I know you

as the words know their meaning

I know you

as the earth knows Nature’s seasons

as the seasons that know their fruits, flowers, crops

I know you

as the rain that knows its insects

moths

I know you and I save you

sometimes from your showers

sometimes from my winds

I know you

as the earth that knows its seed

and the seed that knows its earth

I know you

as the treetop knows its roots

and the roots know the tree’s nourishment

I know you

as the seeds smell their seasons

and the earth knows the anxiety of the seed

I know you

as the woman who experiences

the vibration of foetus becoming an infant

I know you

as the silence has its own words

as the vacuum has its meaningful echo

just the same way, I know you

I know you

as the soul knows the need for body

the body knows the happiness of soul

I know you

As I keep silent

as your love remains silent

in my soul

|| i agree ||

I agree

like the deserted earth

that sips sunlight

after a cold night

like the empty earth

that breathes dust particles

after life taking love

like the lifeless earth

that sucks the vital elements from air

after a scorching storm

like the hot earth

that soaks moist filled humidity

after getting burnt till deep inside

like the earth that has become deaf

due to the noise

that is searching the sweetness of loneliness

to live

after the mystery terminating blow

like the earth that is burnt from tearing brightness

is sleeping in the dark laps of silence

completely insensate

after being scorched

like the dry earth that is living

for a dew drop

after deep dryness

like the earth that is covered with autumn leaves

awaiting the knock of spring

a life-giving tender touch

in the same way

just the same way

I accept you

in my body

vital to my life
