“The feeling of emotion, the beginning,
the meaning of emotion, the end.
When these entwine at the edge of twilight zone
the muse sinks in contemplation.” – By Poet
The stream cascades in swirling spate of sparkle,
the shadows of trees sway submerged across plateau
where topaz dew makes diadem on glinting grass,
weaves lilting lattice for me as I’m lost inside my mind.
The drizzling sequins of moon dust
in silken sapphire night of argentine ambiance,
adorn the cobalt sea waves with rolling rapture
where I find my solemn muse saunter.
I travel through the torrent of turmoil,
forgetting all the bridges I’ve burnt.
I choose the road of deep rumination
I construct for the musing me, unpossessed.
Life’s story written in tome of time continuum,
at the end of the cheerless chapter challenges me
to choose if I’ll turn the page or close the book;
I decide to read on till the end.
At the crossroads of crowded compromises,
and after the silent crumbling in loneliness,
following the moonlit path the dreams tread on,
I rise from the dust and become a reflective poet.
When the floating fleet of gloomy clouds drifts away,
the sky spreads the spectrum of dreams
for me on the rainbow arched horizon
where I trace my innate contemplation concealed.
The scarlet sun rises with splendor in dulcet dawn,
lifts the miasma from the masked facet of remorse.
The lyrical winds blow across melancholic mindscape,
sweeps away the dust from swathed senses to revive.
Turning the buoyant emotions into a surging storm
of creative craving blowing with essence of expression,
I fly on its fantasy wings to the realm of reflection
where I wander as a pensive poet.
