## 🧠 ABOUT THE PROCESS

I transformed my original poem by adapting it into lyrics that were then used for a song generated using Suno, featuring my voice. Below you’ll find part of the original poem, the revised lyrics, and the musical version.

## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM

The poem is a meditation on how memory survives in the senses, returning in fragments through touch, scent, sight, sound, and taste until old wounds can be recognised, understood, and finally released.

Time loops in waters
Relentless moment’s pursuit
Stillness in shadows

## ✍️ ADAPTED LYRICS

[Verse]
Time loops in waters resorbing
Body’s particles absorbing
the relentless moment’s pursuit
Stillness in shadows that ensued

[Verse]
Joints crack in aching belonging
Surface of the Truths still lurking
Lost in specks of sand like embers
golden trails your face remembers

[Verse]
Within the sparks streaks spiralling
From hand’s touch eyelids fluttering
What did you say your name was then?
I’ve known you somewhere I reckon

[Verse]
Eye withered from thoughts now ablaze
Braced them high amnesia’s bouquets
within nostrils slow invading
Fragrant memories cascading

[Verse]
Nose puckering up redrafting
the familiar scents spent crafting
scented pictures of me framed tight
in translucent corners to light

[Chorus]
The fluttering lids slow absolve
Riddle from yesteryear to solve
What did you say your name was then?
Let’s forget hurt, begin again

[Verse]
Ears glistening lobes in retention
Shivering from recognition
Stories from my Heart to foretell
when touch of nape and ear would quell

[Verse]
Fate lent me eyesight from ravens
I coughed up dark ink from havens
Stark memories of morrows lay
Icy beginnings to display

[Verse]
The sight of hopeful Times seething
Protracted, painful the teething
I chewed again hurt that travels
Hidden glass within the morsels

[Verse]
Of taste and of sheens within pain
Driveway to deserts soaked in rain
Actors playing a million parts
Screenings in sunrise that slow smarts

[Chorus]
The fluttering lids slow absolve
Riddle from yesteryear to solve
What did you say your name was then?
Let’s forget hurt, begin again

I transformed this original poem by adapting it into lyrics that were then used for an AI-generated song using Suno, featuring my voice. Below you’ll find part of the original poem, the revised lyrics, and the AI-generated musical version.

## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM

This poem reflects upon tango, in its original and deeply connected form, as a catalyst for inner alignment, centring and reconnection with the self and the inner observer. Through movement, rhythm and emotional attunement between partners, the dance becomes a shared space of presence and transformation. The poem also draws a subtle parallel between tango and Sufi whirling: while Sufi whirling seeks transcendence through solitary rotation and spiritual surrender, tango achieves a similar state through the union, balance and shared turning of two intertwined beings.

Brushed aside
Like the dust in piles
Covering
Smothering
Shake it off briskly step out
Tango to Centre

## ✍️ ADAPTED LYRICS

[Verse]
Prepare self like a swan to glide
memories cobwebs brushed aside
Like the dust in piles covering
eyes and mouths slowly smothering
Shake it off briskly and step out
Tango to Centre drawn without

[Verse]
Raked raw the prongs seeping through
translucent shining skin’s blue hue
Rid yourself of the iron clasps
as dance begins the lady gasps
echoes of sound seep into skin
Tango to Centre drawn within

[Verse]
They lay claims on the waist thimble
Partner a male choice, feet nimble
Rally to create connection
a slight pulse for the direction
music picks up as bodies turn
Tango to Centre that hearts yearn

[Chorus]
Inner worlds revealed through whirling
Like twins the Spirits keep twirling
Deepest embrace with skin on skin
So pleasantly paired, cheek on chin
The feet conjoined can never part
Tango to Centre stored in heart

[Verse]
Twirling world building from chaos
In the tanda move tangueros
Hurtling through all the confusion
dance in heart through the illusion
the eyes meeting holding the stare
Tango to Centre spreading bare

[Verse]
Threefold aims written in the book
Ladies’ heads in the male neck’s nook
They follow softly, their gait slight
Their steps scribble on the page white
a flurry of inky black words
Tango to Centre with the birds

[Chorus]
Inner worlds revealed through whirling
Like twins the Spirits keep twirling
Deepest embrace with skin on skin
So pleasantly paired, cheek on chin
The feet conjoined can never part
Tango to Centre stored in heart

Sullen skies
watch my every move
Deceit lies
in their sighs
There is nothing I will prove
I ignore their cries

Yesterday
I stored my future
under sands
Foreign lands
remembering osmosis
seep soul through crisis

The Negev
moved on silently
its body
wild man’s tool
its breath all still promises
unwinding through hiss

My seeds grown
diligently sown
through mind cast
made to last
A thousand years break under
the forced surrender

Cast me ten
Elements are five
Replicate
twice mission
The tribes that stand will survive
wayward attention

In truth lay
throne to sit upon
Mirrors don
gold inlay
They kill themselves as they slay
Desert winds whirl on

Riddles flow

From the fevered brow

Listen now

I will show

The snow peaks in deserts glow

Mountainous the sands

 

Invoked lands

Awoken the cold

Centuries

Now unfold

Hidden glaciers uprising

People surprising

 

She awoke

To new millenium

The clock struck

Raven Time

Their two tongues watered my rhyme

Spilt in canticles

Wonderland

Place of Miracles

Where we pray

Where we stray

Spending light through sun’s array

Countenance at bay

 

Seething sand

Makes me obstacles

Which I grind

In my mind

Through memories I unwind

Past hidden unkind

 

Singing band

Grant me spectacles

Unknown fame

Face no name

Shimmering through light path tame

Summoning her frame

Weather’s brow

Hard ends in the now

Disavow

Holy vow

Earthen fields that we will plough

Inversion allow

 

Scorching sands

Coursing through the lands

Twirling hands

Raging bands

Times when we had made demands

Fading in woodlands

 

Times version

Breath exhalation

Distortion

Distension

Forging through heart intention

The rain poured on land of empty

Where snakes hissed on the desert sands

The feet that trod the barren lands

Danced slow to the newfound plenty

 

The sands curdled like frumenty

A tidal wave that crowds disbands

Covered all but for groping hands

Reaching out for Twenty Twenty

 

I glimpse it all with withered sigh

Twin peaks that skies then pierced anew

What breaches Truth in Truth must die

 

From waters grave we rise and fly

We turn our backs the choosing few

Living in Truth where shadows lie

The grief mind sharpens

Eyesight of the heart’s delight

Relinquishing might

 

Control of outcome

Buried in the seeping sands

Pits of yesterday

 

Daily sandstorms blow

Dismembering all traces

Of fires in deserts

 

Simplicity’s ways

Narrow streets transformed highways

Ride into gardens

 

Nighttime crawls to light

With breath of the morrows hope

All under the Sun

 

The darkness broken

By bright accumulated

Life in the Open

The sand gathered

Rain attempted paths

Would desert gain terrain?

 

Puddles formed slow

The roads were heavy

Why did my Heart feel light?

 

The flowers bloomed

My Heart sang larky

Did spring arrive early?
