Breaking through
19 February 2016
Wandering
In thoughts that shiver
Cold of World
That darkens
She stitches another yarn
Pitch black before dawn
Other half
Like jigsaw puzzle
I pick up
My pieces
A mirror broken in skies
Where I see through lies
Our hearts roam
Through the bitterness
Salted tears
Like sea’s foam
Lapping at our waking frames
Humanity’s games
A blast wakes
I cry as it shakes
Illusion
Mind’s playground
Softly killing me he sighs
As the dreamtime dies
I know life
Like butter on toast
And lemon
Acid stings
Souls on life’s fire often roast
Soaring flames like wings
Working spells
From my hidden wells
I summon
Deadly rings
A ghostly place where he sings
Songs of Unity
This dream’s realm
A slave’s marathon
I conjure
Hammer’s might
Broken ties I take to flight
I am running free
The saviour
Lies but within me
He flutters
Gaping hole
My soul ushers in its twin
Finally we’re whole
Breaking through
It comes with a price
Nailed across
No haggling
I paid it now more than thrice
Trinity’s auction
Reading of the poem:
Little boy in the grass – Aurora
Conqueror – Aurora
Murder song – Aurora
Half the World away – Aurora
I hear you calling (ballad version) – Aurora
Running with the wolves – Aurora
Into the light – Aurora
beautiful, Geetha! I love the feeling of construction, breakdown and reconstruction this one creates.
Thanks Eric!
As always beautiful and full of meaning 🙂
Thank you Swetha
Painful, but beautiful
Thank you Derek 🙂
Nice one Geetha. Liked this “From my hidden wells I summon Deadly rings” Showed that when the going got tough, she was ready for it and drew out from her inner reserves, as it were 🙂
Thank you Kamal 🙂
Thats what I made of it. Not sure if same as you meant 🙂
Well your understanding is not wrong as there is of that notion. In my mind there is also the fact that sometimes you have hidden knowledge within you like drawing from a well and aside from the knowledge there is also some sort of sixth sense and skills of perception we have deep inside us so we have to conjure them up, it is like bringing out magic from a hidden place. In that place, the spirit world and our world coexist and sometimes overlap, hence the ghost reference and the deadly rings. Deadly because if you cross over fully to the spirit world you cannot come back and you may also unite with the wrong spirit . Rings references also the union and not only the overlapping of the two worlds 🙂 . Then the songs of unity reminds that in our human selves we see ourselves as matter and therefore separated from the spirit world but in reality we too are spirit and the spirits know we are like them so to those that delve inside themselves and reconnect with their spirit selves, the other spirits (which could be some of our own spirit selves) sing to them these songs of unity. I am not sure this was more confusing than explanatory 😀
Wow amazing, so well explained and such depth in your thoughts that’s reflected in your poems. Thank you and best wishes!
Welcome and thank you. Best wishes to you too!
