As the Water flows
13 September 2015
.
The Mind is prison
To decaying Heart in Loss
Of waning Rainbows
.
The colours spread grease
All over my bent knuckles
That held on to veins
.
Slithering writhing
Clawing Heart from shadows stood
Sprouting from the ground
.
I looked back silent
Upon those withering roots
The Heart beat steadfast
.
As the Water flows
Remembering our lost future
I sail within me
.
The Loss of what is not there
13 September 2015
If I could appeal
To beat of your bleeding Heart
I see withering
If I could go back
Halt now shift within your heart
I see unfolding
If I could stop it
The day you will choose reason
I see oncoming
I would move time’s space
Within that fraction of mind
When intent went wrong
Alas I watch it
The Loss of what is not there
Awaiting future
When cycle is spent
Time will then fold on itself
So past comes undone
With Knowledge of Loss
You will transcend the intent
Rephrasing the past
Thus I say this much
Perhaps that you will look too
Saves us the heartache
I will bear the Ring
9-10 September 2015
.
The Dark that swallows
Inky remnants of a Pride
Misplaced scorching Heart
Misfortune levels
Soared to peak of Misery
Stilted count to Nine
Cry not for morrows
Today’s gifts will bring you Lights
Within your Heart Shine
The future will fold
From hopes within that call all
Smoothing out creases
Seven times I pray
Within deserts where I roam
In search of you Love
As sands seep through hands
In the flow of the Healing
I will win your Trust
Let Peace be in you
Of every flame strongest Fire
Contain it within
The Dark but reflects
The other side of the Light
Lover, Beloved
I will bear the Ring
To union of opposites
That awaits all Souls
Living in split worlds
3 September 2015
I touched your cold face
On a bright summer morning
As the dewdrops fell
The Earth welcomed cool
Steaming with the hiss of light
Water fire sinks
The cold was your tears
As night’s wake had gifted these
To your marble skin
A sob rose in throat
For future lived in past tense
Where hearts would flutter
You and I then cried
The loss of what was to be
As neither moved moss
Growth is from cutting
Seedlings in another land
Must then be potted
I cut through an inch
We winced from the incision
And withdrew silent
Hand on your shoulder
Mortal experiences
Treachery of pain
All senses fail me
A sixth came to the rescue
Enhancing your sight
Imaginary
Friends reproach me your essence
That they will feel not
You dwell in my mind
Your heart reaching through the space
In between photons
Mind said you were dead
Perhaps I am your widow
You painted me black
Milliseconds’ fleet
From one beam to the other
As I catch your depth
Coded in the words
Meaning of a mind spirals
Through a timeless void
Loophole carries me
Writhing spirit did battle
Fragmentation tires
Living in split worlds
My soul divides a fractal
Embedded in time
Hai Dil Ye Mera – Arijit Singh
A day will soon come
August 30, 2015
(Original french version here – Il viendra le jour )
.
A distant call rings
Black echoes from beyond grave
Bring me back your blood
.
Served bloody sausage
Of our dead future
Oh what rotten fruit
.
Indigested dish
Brings back weary memories
From depths I had slain
.
It I had reviled
Tasted it in weightlessness
Stealthily, hidden
.
Heavy, disgusting
Sour-bitter of a dead past
An acid reflux
.
Vomit your offal
Finally free my stomach
To digest other
.
.
I would tear my skin
If it were to bear your stench
Make it new banner
.
I will clamour loud
The withering of my sighs
Satirised in vain
.
To live and then die
Of nature to wound myself
That in me slithers
.
A life extinguished
I collected the ashes
And made a new shroud
.
To die and then live
Did I have to use the if/saw (play on si – scie in the French version i.e. the if or the saw)
To cut everything
.
A day will soon come
Where a beautiful bright void
Will cleanse my stomach
.
Will you miss me when I’m gone ?
25 August 2015
Shades of us shone bright
Articulate dark on lights
Playing with eyesight
Century split half
Moving toward our shadow
A bright future lit
What happened behind?
Hindsight now failed me always
As did memories
Arms spread out seeking
I had searched for you all days
A lifetime thus spent
Seeing you never
Though my being you pervade
Etched in all my thoughts
Sun-kissed paths we trod
Walking towards each other
Blindfolded and mute
No touch did we need
Imprints in our very soul
Spoke more than could flesh
You gazed upon me
Seeing me best with mind’s eye
As I perceived you
Abandoned to you
My soul kept for your soul watch
You knew as did I
Time would take its toll
On our hearts that beat tireless
As tunes in ears rang
The World disappeared
No loss would I ever fear
Our Love infused all
Words locked in embrace
A blessed recognition
We held on steadfast
Time flew relentless
Stars opposed but move on
Bow to depths we hold
Careening through Time
Like dances of Golden Age
That all hurt soothes
This body fails me
Though soul keeps it standing still
To hope’s tunes we seek
Your voice now alit
With energy makes me whole
Restoring body
With renewed respite
Will you still reach me in time?
If only I knew
Grim is the reaper
In darkness still he awaits
As days slide silent
Grief to hope skips slim
Boldest instinct: survival
An uneven chance
Mind soared to morrow
Will you miss me when I’m gone?
I will forever
Fleetingly daytime joined in
17 August 2015
Birds nestled subdued
Into blissful deep slumber
Keeping us in mind
All nightingales sang
In rapture of the beauty
Of us coiled, uncoiled
Stars whispered secrets
Night had been sole accomplice
As jasmine overheard
Precision tuning
Mind waves sought more attention
I listened intent
Dusk like dawn flickered
In recognition of light
Engulfing our flames
Moons envied the sun
Peering bright into our souls
As our limbs we seek
Urgency in times
Set fire to the stillness
We moved not, lazy
You and I stretched out
Fleetingly daytime joined in
Unveiling future
