stillness
stillness
my air
permeates
with your fragrance
a subtle peace
blossoms
within
suffused
with divine light
barriers collapse
bridges form
as my soul
meditates
silently
at your lotus feet
path
words fall through me
and rituals pull me away
now that each step
I take towards you
is a prayer
cold embers
on days like this
words fail me
lost without you,
my steps falter
these lips tremble
and breath hardens
‘when will you come?’ my heart cries
‘melt my frozen body
in your warm embrace
give me a reason to stay alive,
wipe tears off my face?’
I wish you could see
how I await your arrival
lost in space and time,
wandering between
the dead and the divine
and when only stillness flows
in endless motion
how I lie scattered
in a grave
on the edge
of a glowing ocean
…..

suave stillness
in the solitude of the night,
as I lay amidst nebulous dreams,
something unknown and deepfelt
cut through the core, speaking of its presence
faces and forms dissolved
as the smoke of naked verse began to rise;
the stain of ruby drops deepened,
perpetuating the melody of longing
with trembling lips,
my lamenting soul began to utter –
a few silent words laced with palpable sighs
of fragility, innocence and belonging
the clouds began to overshadow the midnight blue sky
and the hue of the sweet Beloved slowly descended
the incandescent lightning cracked open the dark sky
some unspoken fears, took flight into the state of oblivion
in the solitude of that night
after all was said and heard,
I lay drenched
in the rain of tranquility
