the poetry will remain incomplete without a Thank you, to a stranger I met at a bookshop... where we discussed: Neruda, Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Cooleridge, Southey...Da Vinci, Michealangelo...and so many to name, each had a muse, and each man including some despots we can name had a muse too! this poem is dedicated to all muses and amused..!
The Deep Sunlight
Cascaded...
Slanted
As the cat basked
Slovely Gloriously
He was busy with his Chisel Admiring His cat his Muse... the Amused Sculptor smiled: Shy, Lovely, She Could Purr... Indeed:- Mused the sculptor!
Bastard!
She smiled How many had he lain' Could he keep count? Could he remember ? She Knew; He was the candle.. She lavished to Dance like a moth. Like a mad frenzy, she must Dance to his Chisel.. Bid..bidding..
His eyes roved over Her; Drawing in every Breath... Nape to Toes... Nude As the looks locked. Flushed innocence of a Muse.
"My Demi God"
The mused Amused...! He had stilled her every where... In the Mermaids hair, In the Angels lilt, In the cupids lift In the demur eyes, In the queens brow! In a mysterious smile.. In a flashing Cherub Across the seas...across the works In every works a little more! she basked... Smiled .. Slanted!
TIRED the sculptor abandoned...
took her by his coarse hands...
The muse was his..
His rote to rant!
feels lighter
Better
Like a whiff of smoke
Takein in slow...
Let..out... in circles
Like a Show
Rough
Coarse
Abuses..
Harsh
Raw
Abuses
Flavoured..
Savoured
Abuses
Wounding Deep
Why should I hear?
and not vent at all?
Let me vent the cussess
Hurled and hurdled deep
By the one who hurts
By the one who runs deeper
In the veins like blood
Like a kin
of a second skin.
But kin are blood
thicker than water.
Wine?
I measure softly
tread gently
they are my blood-
I reason
My black soul laughs
Tells me:
they are'nt kins..
They clean not like water.
Cling hurt like dye.
Black-Red.
Cusses are Dye!
They say... You are morose: You put a wall around you. You bolster when touched. Deep within Your clasped. Your clasps: you desire to break! You cannot You are trapped, In your thoughts: Deep raging desires!
To road You Stride Road to dreams Passions Desires To glory set in Red.
Tarry: The world may Shout Stop, it may Beckon. Rest it may Scream.
Tarry not! Travel...Steady Grim Ferocity Bright Levity Stop not till you Reach And when You do Smile: For all the Rage Shall be spent! Dreams fulfilled.
The Khamsin travels far across with the desert winds swirling sand swirling the gold...
The weary warrior travels... Tired ... Dying... Fatigued.... No Mirage.. No green Love... No Holy pastures lure.... No watery respite. The Sun cruel like the sword Strikes with its rays of light Shades of gold-black, scald the skin Roughened weathered.. Beaten!
Relief: She stands:- Mocks Lures, Tempts. Laughs in Derision!!
Death: She smiles Gentle as the lover's kiss
The traveller smiles:
Thesoul: Stares..wanton... dying to yearn To the lover's arm.
Death beckons... The lover smiles.. The traveller walks Into the gentle arms... Peace reigns The khamsin rests
O! Traveller: I envy Thee: Take my life, I give mine to Thee..
Weary wide eyes Tired wandering .. coursing through the desert, The wanton soul pleads rest, the sore slippers: weep as they churn the sand. the mirages: Them dreams beckon!!
Alas! The weary traveller Travels Travails Seeks solace... Underneath the swarovski Studded sky!!!
Shuts his eyes to sleep! She mocks: She frolicks She refuses To give company- She cruel: She .... The treacherous Sleep
Let the sky be the Dive Board: To let me plunge into the sea. Let me wear Blinkers: So, the depth I cannot see. ... Let my senses be numb: so that, I cannot feel The Abyss of the sea Letme be there... Amongst deep water.. so that I may be FREE
The calm Horizon stands afloat Hue changing by the hours ... Myriad... secrets it harbours, myriad dreams have come true, : silently watched them come. the Benevolent Blue Goddess.. yet myriad billions ..strange and strong: Dreams have been shattered -rage. stories bedded in its bosom.. lost arches and Empires Creatures and harbingers. on Discovery heart cries encore: Enfold..Entreat :-show more. Lap me not in your lusty waters You intimidate me... Yet.. a Reflection of me.. Profound.. Are you me!! No- You cannot be... Oh Woman... O, Ye deep blue sea!
