Premium Member In waiting for you, my love, the seasons have snowed in black and white

In waiting for you, my love, the seasons have snowed in black and white,
The landscape of our time together has been painted in trenches of lingering silences,
And every moment without your voice, an eternity crystallized in waxen clocks,
The autumns have passed with winds that leafed through memories like pages rare.
Since I've been waiting for you, my love, so many years have slipped by...
The long road of your absence has been sprinkled with shooting stars,
The weeping celestials, in the night of my soul, are the lighthouses of an abandoned edifice,
The city of my heart is in mourning, and its streets bare and numbed.
And the mournful sunsets of violet purples,
Are faded lipstick marks on the rim of a forgotten glass,
Yesteryear's dreams have become cobwebbed in untamed thoughts,
Where are you, love lost in the fields of lavender of unshared evenings?
I waited for you at the crossroads of roads, a spider's web stretched between yesterday and today,
Where vows of love were carved in wind and promises of smoke,
Like shadows that dimmed beneath the flicker of candles nibbled by oblivion,
The springs have faded, the celebrated red chestnuts have rusted, in a leaden festivity.
Yet no one passed by there, no echo, just absence as a heavy cloak,
The gate to you seems locked with a thousand padlocks of steadfast memories,
By the sea I dream of you, a foam statue waiting in silence,
Only the waves, prompt in mysteries, confide to me the secret of the parted.
The ocean of my soul waves its unseen wings,
In the close murmurs of hidden shells on endless shores,
I wonder what solemn horizons, what illuminated passages have you walked since you left?
The waves respond with froth of cold regrets and with untouched, uncreated prints.
And this evening, again, the violins cry beneath my window,
Soothing their longing in faint voices piercing the amber sky's infinity,
It's the autumn of a soul that submerges under time, under yearning, under an unconsoling sky,
In a lamentable dance to the notes of romance, which fall away like leaves in the wind, wandering without end.

That Night: I Tried To Explain

I cry sometimes. Enhancing this deluge of delirium. With a drop which 
flows from my face to the flood of Earth’s clay as I inhale this bitter breeze                                  of our garden’s grief! Seeing your withered wood…	           
I breathe deep… Inhale… Exhale…And hope that these frivolous feelings                   will bottle up after this bottle is downed!
                   
 Words now trapped…it’s a joke…but this is no banter of your basil bush! 
This is a garden now growing with grief, which subdues layers of our sacred memories, suppressing sadness and carries on until my rancid lungs collapse… But… I don’t die. I just-carry on. Watching your roots rot… 
As this decomposing disease devours your soul!  

 My soul slowly sinks into the mud. Yearning to find you six-feet-under.                  Beneath the sublime beauty of our orchids. To the place where 
Hades resides... I miss the touch of your hands.                                                                       The lingering sensation of your waning wood intertwined with my vines. 

 My fingertips now feel the burn of Hell! I learnt that this burn won’t melt,              it just burns, until your whole bodies submerges and turns what they’ll                 learn and all their concerns into nothing! Because I guess everyone dies… 	Even if they don't deserve it...well I may have deserved it because                 I'm depicted as the ideal image of man yet they watch as my green leaves burn brown and… and this ivy poisons my rich roots. But this isn't a cry             for help, it’s a letter, poem, or whatever you want to call this…This is my message to you!	         
 Yes, angels are heavenly but even if they’re with me…they can't get inside 
my mind and help me flourish in this Hell on Earth. The one you left me in! 
So I thank them…but I’ve handled enough forced sympathy. I'd rather be 
with some boys and booze and listen to a simple symphony. 

 There I can cry… myself …and become one with the flood                                         from this deluge of delirium!

One In a Million

Hither flows an isolated yet drowning droplet,
With a glistening shield concealing its gloomy core.
Straying across its share of triumphs and misery,
Within its own little sea world,
hoping to not be bruised when the ghastly wind whirls.
Hustles through downfalls and unfair twirls,
occasionally adoring the ensuing treasury.
At daylight,
drifts like a social bee,
blissfully mingling amongst the distinct gallons ashore.
At nightfall,
stares into space stress-free, 
daydreaming of leaping like an unrealistic starlet.

Deserted whilst hit the storm tides,
the lion's share aid all and sundry to the shallow.
This jinxed fate persists to sink in,
secluded and appalled,
like bearing incessant strikes from an arrow
after every lunge that went uncalled,
to endure within.
Perceives an unanticipated beam of hope,
escorting an ultimate plunge, 
fiercely rising outward,
valorously withstood being scoured.
then followed a euphoric sense of pride,
paralleled to no other victory,
surmounted off the cage being more potent, until, 
every action triggered a flash of thy grisly moments.
hence, against its will, 
exists a sorrow that can nevermore be expunged.
Yet, there inevitably lives a way to cope,
that a belief or a miracle, remains a mystery!

It's unusual, a bubble unique to its own kind,
like a dry seedling crowded by evergreen trees that ace.
With a variety comes a rare spotlight,
But this aqua-life has sole hate to surround,
and the flaw is all that's defined!
It submerges to the deepest ground,
with utmost grace
adamant to attain unprecedented heights,
dives the longest stretch within reach.
To stream far off, 
regardless of its perseverance being wrongfully impeached.
Chasing an aim to end up at a paradise,
where it's no more seen as a dwarf,
no more being scoffed,
can pursue the desire to glide on the surface following no fright,
and not suffocate underground,
without having to pay a price!

Posthumus

Posthumous
I’ve seen death passing by,
looking through her glassy eyes,
silenced by her inward shrieks and dumb.
Escaping presence,
all the while stepping closer to clinch on.
Where the precipice submerges
failing you in flight. 
Shot with the last shot, 
there was to be downed.
In the spring of hope fading glitter, 
falling above wild realities.
Where birth meets its end,
left is back, and you taken aback.
Without actual looking back,
where sneering behind you, is a fortune.
And there’s no place,
or time, to consume you .
Cracks are spreading their legs, 
in the narrow passages of mind allegories,
and defeat comes and goes,
to remind you, not to forget,
and comes back soon.
You would go and shelter take,
or steal else’s daydream,
decomposing in its poorly lit corners.
And deceit, in surprise wondering...
over its confusion, caprice to be loved. 
And your miserable package, 
carried everywhere, with no care 
rising to fade away and again.
Roads taken along the way, of ills that infect.
Scenes of a crossroads on a verge
of defining their own ways, and doubt them after.
Darted into obscurity of news 
to be printed in focus, so to miss the point
of your visions swollen veins.
As never giving up cliché,
birthday, or whatever you say, 
a pointless celebration, of yet another day.
And as much as silenced, 
and as much as deliberately invoking,
what there was,
I do keep in mind,
that it was chillingly cold,
and that patterns outside,
where looking shocked
and laughed.
And that it was your play,
of a different screenplay reading, 
guns you shot so well.
I’ve seen death
was looking into her
glassy eyes. 
Silenced in that friezing, chilly night
of your declaration of love without love.
Filled up and stinky with,
or without one to become,
scrupulously posthumous.

A Poet and a Poem

Those enigmatic clouds of Charles Baudelaire were floating in the sky
An unhappy man, he, was standing under the sky,
He did not see the clouds, he did not know the color of the sky
Nothing charmed him, not at all ...
Life is useless, failed
He's out ...
He needs some sleeping pills
That's the quick remedy for fatigue, Isn’t it?

Those enigmatic clouds of Charles Baudelaire were floating in the sky
An unhappy man, he,  was standing under the sky,
He did not see the clouds, he did not know the color of the sky
Nothing motivated him ... he had a terrible headache
He needed  immediate sleep
Sleep...an impeccable silence
Of a dreamless, dark death.

Poet: Why now? Why is it time today, 
when everything is over?
My life is nothing but burned out ashes only, 
why now is the time for you to talk about this?
Poetry: But, It is you who made me! 
I am nothing but a mixture 
Of watercolors of your imagination!
Poet: You are the crop of my misconceptions, 
The agonizing cry of not merging my desire! 
Will you release me?  I want to forget everything, 
Please do not call me anymore!
Poetry: If you turn away, 
my death will be inevitable. 
So, what do you want?
Poet: I don't know. 
I just feel that I am decaying endlessly, continuously!
He who is burdened with the burden of decaying life, 
How will he create?
Poetry: But you are the one who loves, poet!  
Forget all fears of hardships, and sorrows. 
You do love poetry! 
You create your poetry beyond all the pains of a crazy life!  
Is it not so?
Poet: I don't know that!  
I'm terribly tired and exhausted.  
I want to sleep now!

The world submerges into darkness.  
Only hope survives, the hope of a new dawn, 
In the life of a poet and a poem.

Road More Traveled

Her hands were happy, 
she fluttered them against 
a cliché sense of blue in the air
and laughed when the allure of 
the flowers further on trilled against
her skin. She submerges herself in light,
filtering through veined jade appendages.
-deeper-

Life is what she lusts for, 
twirling in circles with the moon 
to see if she can become a world of her own.
She picks roses and strips the petals 
to smell the thorns –and shakes her head
because none of her pain is original.
Even so, she breaks into a run, bitter
at the dust beneath her and
every single one of the 
footprint after footprint scars.
She might as well not even try the other road,
they tell her.
-the light bends around her, she rubs her eyes
to rid them of the green edge-

She realizes too late, the thorns are disappeared.
The path stretches on without end –it draws her into
a malachite mist. 
She inhales slowly and 
gags against the moisture that now 
condenses on the walls of her lungs.
Clawing at her tongue, she stains her fingers 
with mucous.
-The sky bleeds poisonous green arcs-     
    -what happened to the blue-

The heels of her palm against her eyes
-a vain attempt to salvage color-
she screams as she turns –
inside out, emerald. She feels them 
sour, glassing over premature
and dripping venom. Liquid
strains her veins against her clouding skin.
She vomits bark, 
desecrating the space between her toes –
putrid, willowy leaves sprout from her hair.
She looks up as if from beneath miles of
sea water, her undulating legs firmly rooted.
-I don’t want it-
   she says faintly.

and the forest groans against her weight,
settling slowly like ash on the residue of thorn-ridden existence.
-The pulse glows green-

The Jade

It's like I'm jade in the mist of 
diamonds. Where's my hero 
who will discover me despite 
the temptation of those 
diamonds? I see someone. 
Wait...he's picked up a diamond 
and walked away. Will no one 
ever discover my worth? Look 
past my shining shades of 
green. Turn away from the 
glisten of those diamonds. I am 
the one in a million. And then I 
spot someone. Who is that? He 
looks confused, but he's 
walking torwards me. Is this 
really happening? He's passing 
all the diamonds! I see that he 
has spotted me. And then I'm 
afraid. He will pick me up and 
see that I'm different. He won't 
understand my beauty and 
what elements make up my 
existence. He will see that I'm 
as beautiful as those diamonds, 
but far too complicated to 
figure out. Will he see that my 
light can shine through to his 
soul? Will he see that I'm real? 
He has to see there is so much 
more to me than beauty. I'm so 
much deeper. Maybe that's why 
my jade is far too complicated 
to penetrate. He approaches 
and examines me. There is a 
look on his face as if something 
surprised him. He has realized 
something in me. He has 
learned all there is to know abt 
me and my jade is beautiful to 
him. He submerges into each 
layer and explores what is 
there. He accepts and loves the 
very raw me. Before I was 
dusted off and shined to a 
superficial brightness. My jade 
is different. It is beautiful and it 
is deep. not shallow and 
predictable like a diamond. You 
have to search far and wide to 
find my kind. And if you do 
come upon one of my kind, it 
was not a coincidence.

Poucha Dass Meditation

I close my eyes 
locked in a millisecond
the moment before the bow 
touches the strings 
where silence has a tremor
and wraps me in darkness 
until I hear its particles 
vibrating against me
 
the bow wrenches
from the depth of the bass 
a groan from the earth
as if waking a millennia of slumber
the first note
long, rich and haunting
now coming to life 
now ready to speak 
 
legs crossed and hands limp
pay attention 
to the sources of discomfort
tension in the neck, anxiety in the chest
fatigue in the limbs
heaviness in the core
 
let this weight sink
pull down through me 
melt through me
let it drag and seep 
through my bones
until it submerges 
into the ground below
 
transform to roots 
connect me
grow deep into the soil
until the energy is revitalized 
until I am reminded
we grow from this intricate system
no different from the forest and gardens
spreading, connecting, entwining
 
the earth is booming 
the bass its voice
chanting, singing, commanding 
a mantra in a language I don't understand
but with a pulse
I can feel
and it is telling me
I have all I need
 
visualize one by one 
sources of emotional exhaustion
with each dredge up the full power 
of all feelings
feelings long suppressed, feelings of fear
allow body and mind to swim 
one last time 
before I breathe in and blow them away
 
my body is lighter, sitting straighter
a tall blade of grass 
swaying as one
looking across the field 
up to the cliff's edge
and over the sunlit ocean 
 
taste sweet scent
of wind
stretch to feel 
soft earth
open eyes 
to unending sky
focus
on what it means to be alive.
