Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Free verse

Dweller Of Our Heart

“the essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun”
 
In the dark opaque night,
across the stupefied space of solidified solitude, 
enfolding the languid landscape of existence,
bereft of the beguiled spirit in indolent life,
my forsaken journey’s pathway meanders
in the gloomy labyrinth of languishing agony.
The self-obsessive free-will, 
ever seemingly dormant 
beneath the sheath of ignorance
envelopes the mind with an illusory immanent veil, 
obscures the visage of the ordained destination. 

Trudging at the fringe of trying tolerance,
I hear the whispering wind of innate wisdom 	
tell me, this journey has no meaningful end.
I’m in the nebulous ambit of ambiguity, 
find the desolate soul in the grip of distress shadow.
As I see the overcast bleak night sky crash down, 
I collect fortitude in darkness from the debris of hope,
pray for the solacing sun to rise, illumine my essence.

I travel liberated out of the murky abyss of anguish  
on the inward blessed journey of acuity 
through the righteous layers of consciousness, 
perceive the spirit of the devout soul 
in the radiance of the divine beacon,
lighting up the screen of the enacting life. 
The portals of the inner domain then open,
where the galactic lotus blooms for me, 
suffused with omnipresent gleam of God’s grace.

My lighted soul shines with ethereal luminosity
in the infinite depth of the discernment space,
like the flaring brightness of a billion suns.  
In my self-searching spiritual odyssey 
toward the edge of the enlightened eternity,
I perceive the glow of the inner galaxy, 
the dweller of my heart,  
turning my essence into a living light.

Ghairo Daniels August 15, 2025 at 11:39 PM Subimal, this gift is a heart wrenching offering of your and our vulnerability & human goodness + faith in what is within. I absolutely salute your honesty & striving. This poem opened my heart a bit more today. Thankyou so much. Sending much warm respects to your art of expression.

Valsa George August 13, 2025 at 5:59 AM This poem of self discovery is indeed a beautiful delineation of a soul's emergence from darkness to light. This is not achieved in a day, but through a tortuous odyssey. The last stanza is the culmination and fruition of a long and patient endeavour through self introspection. Excellent, dear friend. All the Best. Subimal Sinha-Roy August 13, 2025 at 7:47 AM Thank you for your excellent comment that so beautifully and succinctly brings out the essence of the poem. You have superb mastery of the language and nice analytical acumen. Best wishes.
