I Dare Feel… So I Dare Write…
In the tranquil hour of dawn
I rose to a rosy dream
What peace in air!
What splendor it seem.
Cool breeze touched my face
And greeted me warm.
The silence of air,
Welcomed me with open arm.
Where was I? At the center,
Or edge of the Universe,
Or not at all there
Whatever… what an upsurge!
The darkness was bright enough
To lite my inner recess.
What was there? The fall of
Cascading feelings, all well-dressed!
Many times I have seen
the mind fly, high and away.
Into wilderness unknown
in full glory of day.
Feelings widen, wishes open
and apprehensions at bay.
Am lost to the world now,
lost to the surrounding.
An entire zenith opens before
as excitement is mounting.
Have covered some distance
and am still counting.
Expanse of mind has taken me
where body can only wonder.
All-all new world within me
stand in total surrender.
Oh! never knew it was so very
beautiful inside, and yet tender.
Thank You My Lord, for showing
the Garden of Eden within me.
How peaceful I feel, how quenched
is my desire, before thee.
I promise not to return back,
whatever may happen to my body.
Where my poetry
justifies its existence.
Where thoughts are aligned
and feelings coherent.
Where words may fall short
but understanding deepens.
Where words fall short
and the heart melts.
Where mind races high,
into deep faults.
Where vision fails and
the journey halts.
Where I feel not any
exuberance or high.
Where proximity is bliss
with inevitability to die.
Where nocturnal feelings
bear the brunt and sigh.
Where heat is frozen
and mist transparent.
Where faith falls and does
something incoherent.
Where rain is not cheered
and the wets are torment.
Where love is to die
in the depth unheard.
Where drops of water are
nothing but one in herd.
Where going gets tough
the belief sounds absurd.
Where emptiness rules the
caverns of rough weather.
Where vague is the disguise
of fermenting heather.
Where calmness dies the death,
laughs loud the coarse soother.
