Hiya Sharma Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

For the beautiful contest and line of inquiry by Unseeking Seeker ~ 

Thank you so much everyone, for your enchanting comments and poetic presence, I am grateful beyond words. 

Also, writing this was such a spiritual healing experience, for those who don't know, my name, Hiya, has the meaning 'Heart' in my mother tongue and language. So, as my name silently suggests, being a soulful empath with a sensitive spirit, I tend to feel everything too deeply ~ and thus, sense the aura of deeper frequencies ... 

 

I Am that I Am

"a heartbeat pulsating as living light
free from each and every limitation
I Am that dwelling in unbound delight
the source wherefrom arises creation”
 

O, ethereal emperor of my poem,
 read me... as my initials shape the cosmos ,
the energetic essence of this eucalyptus heart
and I spill stars on the perfumed pages , 
that never leave the diary
of  d i v i n i t y  and  d r e a m s  ...

there is no sacred warmth without the sun,
thus, on the lips of the sky, I sleep with hope 
~ in my humble honeysuckle heaven ~

listen, karma-reapers, sipping sins from kismet
life is a yoga, my meditative muse, 
and I yeild no jealousy from the yarn of jewels,
that soaks not the silence of my soul.

I have no confession, no explanation,
I am answerable to the amethyst starlight,
that sleeps in the kundalini of loyal truths 
for, what remains in the silhouette of the spirit, 
if not something, inked with empathetic elixirs 
breathless ... ageless ... limitless ... 
boundless in the bonded petals,
like the blizzard of bougainvillia butterflies ~
the one born from those blessed brushstrokes, 
where, unfurled within fluent flames 
by a sage-spun saint, I am a saffron soprano , 
a line of  l o v e ... laced with the last star 

I am that I am, but I am no more ~ 
because all that lives has a pulse of light, 
but   I   a m   o n e   with the source 

a feeler, fond of the alchemy of Almighty ...
   and his elysian flower-fused footprints ...

Valsa George September 10, 2026 at 9:05 PM "I am that I am, but I am no more ~ because all that lives has a pulse of light, but I a m o n e with the source "- This merging with the source of all light and your identity amalgamating completely with the Supreme being is the most vital moment of actualization, a glorious moment when you and the creator are one. 🔥❤️The second time I read this poem, the greater is my enjoyment of it. Back to Congratulate you dear on your well deserved trophy win.👍👏

I Am Anaya September 9, 2026 at 9:42 PM Back with congratulations 🎉👏 on a fab 🏆 win! "I am that I am, but I am no more". 👣. Blessings🦋

Alison A Smith September 9, 2026 at 8:56 PM This is a luminous, incantatory free-verse meditation on spiritual unity, where sound, spacing, and richly layered imagery enact the poem’s movement toward the source. The alliteration—“honeysuckle heaven,” “karma-reapers,” “saffron soprano”—gives it a chant-like musicality, while the widened typography and ellipses create breaths of reverence and expansion. The recurring light, flower, star, and sacred-energy imagery makes the speaker’s final sense of oneness feel both cosmic and intimate.🕯🌸🌟 Congratulations on your podium win.

David Kavanagh September 2, 2026 at 5:25 AM Hey there Hiya, this one feels like a deeply mystical exploration of identity and spirituality, and follows on from Seekers prompt quite seamlessly, I particularly enjoyed the movement toward surrendering the individual self and becoming “one with the source, (if only I could achieve such a state, perhaps someday) 🤔 your closing lines leave the poem with a powerful sense of transcendence and unity, Another great one for this particular contest, I don’t envy the Seeker judging this one, cheers David

Joseph P. DiMino September 1, 2026 at 10:21 PM "I am a saffron soprano , a line of l o v e ... laced with the last star" -- Love that! "because all that lives has a pulse of light, but I a m o n e with the source" -- Beautiful truth!

David Crandall September 1, 2026 at 8:47 PM a lovely effusion of poetry!

Valsa George September 1, 2026 at 4:28 AM " ...........I am a saffron soprano , a line of l o v e ... laced with the last star" Ahhhhh---- I am in love with every line of this poem. This is so heartfelt, flowing from the inner core of your being. I can sense your heart (Hiya) free of all jealousy, full of love. You make small people feel big through your comments. I always enjoy your detailed comments, giving my simple poems added importance. Thanks dear.🙏 "I am answerable to the amethyst starlight, that sleeps in the kundalini of loyal truths ". If you feel such an accountability, you won't do anything against your conscience. Your spirituality flows quietly beneath the surface rather than declaring it aloud. Its subtlety is its greatest merit. A tender piece showing your consecration to the Source of all light. This has an ethereal aura about it. Into my FAV.❤️🔥👍

Lin Lane August 31, 2026 at 11:38 AM Sometimes, what glitters really is gold, like what you've so beautifully written in your lines, Hiya. What you spill on parchment in your poetry shine as brightly as stardust falling from celestial skies. Even as just a pulse of light your poetry is brighter than most here.

Howard Kerr August 31, 2026 at 5:34 AM Hiya, You push boundaries of creative poetic elegance that most mere aspirants can merely fantasize about.
