A DIALOGUE WITH MY CREATURES
I was going to write a poem
But my words got bored
They revolted
They moved … they jumped
They ran away from
 
All circles of meanings,
Getting unbound .. unfolded.
 
Their letters got loose,
Expanding … stretching
 
On the white horizons
Of my painting board,
To become long lines
 
Entangled … interwoven
By the heat of passion
Until they form shapes
 
Figures and bodies …
And so, you,
 
My dear creatures,
 
Have come into existence
To share my life.
Just be patient!
For I will write you
 
Many poems
As my Beloved had done
Before He brought me
Into being.

TO MY BODY
O my body,
I’ve always accused you
Of being my soul’s flesh-cage
Now, enjoying
Body-spirit-soul harmony,
I should turn this page.
Even when hovering desires
Keep seeking in your heat
Their secret nest,
The redeeming divine LOVE
Will help me pass the test.
Yes, my whole being
Is now soaring above
All sublunary things
And I will eventually find
What you have been hiding;
Two blooming wings.

WHEN I LEAVE THIS WORLD SHALL I LOOK BACK? - 6

When I leave this world
Shall I look back
To see my body?
It wasn’t perfect
Nor beautiful …
Neither huge nor strong
Nor sacred …
Nor even pure.
Yet, oh!!
How desperately you wished
Your deep warm heartfelt
Dwelling ... in there ...
Would endure!
