Bouquet Of Belonging


A nomad wanders  
in labyrinthine wasteland 
of the denuded life, 
          desolate,
the sinuous dusty track 
takes me  
to the obscure terrain 
of forlorn nowhere.
My soul’s lattice,
          entranced,
migrates mystified,
          entangled 
in the encircling web 
of enigmatic conundrum, 
asks bemused:
shall I escape 
from decay delirium,
           or
shall I be the enigma,
           embedded.
I couldn’t decide. 

The ingrained imprint
of possessed passion, 
           indelible, 
of the stubborn being 
on the weaving wheel 
of demanding time,
          dexterous,
winds on its own 
out of the tormenting tangle 
of the tortuous trail 
of the pining past, 
transfixed in the horizon
of receding menagerie
of memory.
Steered with the promise 
of pervading pride, 
my beleaguered mind 
out of the maze,
shows me the pathway 
to the fervent fountain 
of euphoric future,
          figurative.
  
With the beat of my heart
I break resolute                                                                         
the invisible blatant barrier,
          impervious,
you’ve built insolent 
with skeleton of seclusion    
around the secret garden,
shrouded by arctic mist
of mind’s winter feelings
           frozen. 
The baroque buds
supine on supple saplings,
line your garden path,
wait for spring.
I saunter there, 
suffused sensually  
with the seraphic shine 
of sunburst new dawn.
I wish, 
before I walk the last mile, 
our paths will cross
           someday
in the valley of flowers,
entwine eternally,
metamorphosed  
into bouquet of belonging,
           epitomized.
