Ramakrishna Chowdary Jasti Poet Free verse

Living Together

Living together 


The white paper
Wants me to leave it blank; 

The mind
Wants me to leave it to rest;

The pen
Wants me to leave it to sleep;

The heart
Wants me to leave it to peace;

But that poetry 
The blazing fire 
And that flowing tears
Would not leave me;

And it’s fusing with letters
And articulating herself 
As divine song of sky
And liberating itself
And moving out to touch the lives
Waiting for its cuddle; 

Now I myself am a hostage 
In the matrix of that poetry; 

If I don’t let her live
My breath leaves me;

And if I don’t let her fly
I will be a vain thought 
Losing my beautiful breath; 

And I will be a human bird
Handicapped with broken wings; 

Now I’m afraid of her
For her authority on my life
Because if I don’t submit to her
My life has no sense;
