Alone With Me

Thoughts creeping 
that usual hustle
that disturbing bustle 
a world of no void!
How I need to sense
the one inside that is vibrant and intense
to disconnect an ever connected soul
sponge off every speck of thought
and over.. start 
with a fresh heart 
of empty rooms
a quiet mind
no seeing, no hearing 
no voice silently thinking..
How can I harmonize
a body of no fruit 
a stem of no root
a colour of no hue
a mind of no view
a silence of no sound 
a heart of no bound!
How I need to escape a world
and be
into my very world
and be me 
outside what is inside me
and just be 
alone
only with me.

Hi Besma, every now and then we are beset with thoughts vagrant and scenes upsetting which disturb our quietude. At times we long for a kind of serene silence. Though man is a social being and is gregarious, he/she seeks solitude to commune with the internal spirit, to delve deep into the core of his/her mind, forgetting the corporeal existence and extract gold from tons of black ore. Loneliness is despicable, but solitude is blissful . A great poem Besma

How deep are the feelings expressed in this poem of yours, Dear Poet! "Be alone/only with me" - delving deep inside our heart, perhaps we find ourselves!

As deep we dig, a new understanding.. a new state of feel.. a different frame of mind is obtained.. we need to reach that state of utter disconnection from what tether the soul.. happy I am with your graceful presence, Malabika! Thank you so much for your deep thoughts and kind words. My deepest regards and blessings.

What a beautiful way to express these lovely thoughts of yours, Besma! To be alone, but certainly far from being lonesome. Probably those are your most productive moments, when distractions are kept at bay. ~ Warm regards and blessings, my friend. // paul

"Thoughts creeping that usual hustle that disturbing bustle..." your emotions remind me of mustangs galloping hard and far across barren mesa with a violent sky behind them, running with strength and grace to beat the storm. There exists an odd rustle in reclusion, it's the clawing and scraping made by the heart to express itself vibrantly. You make self love intense Poetess...Justin

My dearest Besma, I am, as always and with deep appreciation, drawn into the deep feelings of the introspective well of your creative spirit, your loving heart and your all-embracing soul. My being relates to the intrinsic longing you express and my emotions respond to your beautiful artistry revealing your need for escape and disconnect from the disturbing bustle for a space of personal peace, peace of mind. How do we harmonize that which is within and without? So vivid and thought provoking is your wondrous artwork of luscious words, dear soul sister. A profound poem for your ardent reader to ponder over and again. A great masterwork of creative emotional expression and a treasured FAV for me! I love the Rassouli painting too! Warmest wishes, love and hugs, dear poetess.. be safe and healthy always.. ~Susan

You are peace, softness and understanding. The gentle rhyme and reason of moments divine. When all the world is quiet, or when all the world moves at lightening speed. You are the calm through it all. This is beautiful in so many amazing ways. Your heart is golden, my dear sweet friend. Many blessings to you. Hugs, Brandy
