RANIA
Fare ye well.
Merciless daughter
of boundless silence,
a feather trampled
by invisible bodies.
Object of wasted
desire
lashing the body.
You stood out!
And I offered you
wholesome love and
chaste sentiments
but you chose to
plunge your body and soul
in a whirlpool of
dead-end emotions,
resisting my every
move!
So, I bid you
goodbye,
my soul steeped in
sorrow!
For the life
you never lived,
For the love
you never found!
I let you wallow
in the oblivion
of your insecurities!
I wring the pain
wrapping my arms
around my chest,
I dry up my tears,
tearing my soul
apart,
I pick up the
pieces
of my broken heart
and l take my
leave.
Because I love
you!
PICTURE PERFECT
Drop by drop your
tears
I drink,
kiss after kiss in
your lips
I sink,
eyes blurred,
hands holding
tight
as bodies
entwine,
love’s built a
nest.
The Morning and
Evening Star
showered us with
gifts
and the whole
starry sky
came down in our
amidst.
The cubed god
joined them
in a song
while a heron
peeped out
chirping along!
Nature crafted
its loveliest
landscape,
all its elements
coming together
for our sake!
ORPHIC RITE
Eternal symbol of
beauty,
mythical form of
Orpheus.
Divine spirit of
Nature’s force!
Maenad, enveloped
in lascivious dances
and occult arts
that entrance the mortals!
I witnessed your
art
I heard your
melody,
I tried my hand
again and again
before becoming
privy to your secrets.
But your music
faded away!
And I lost the
melody
and I lost my way!
I asked Tantalus to
give me water
to quench my
thirst
while Sisyphus
stopped dragging his rock
to help me get
some rest.
Pluto and Eurydice
were moved by my
woes!
They showed me the
way
out of the
underworld…
I wonder what the
point was.
There is but such
a short distance between
the two worlds.
The quest for your
form is ever present!
I look for your
voice amidst the buzz of sounds.
