Stirring

.....  and matters had flown beyond
just you and me
I had dug too deep
beneath the layers
you were not just a woman
not just my love
not just my partner
not just my kind
not just a human
and not even just a soul

The forms of recognition
were only for the eye
through which i choose to see
and as I dug
deeper I found
only a Spiritual Priniciple
.......  a Love Divine
which proliferated into 
a form each casting a 
shadow onto another
to etch you out O beloved!

So let us meet
form to form 
soul to soul!
principle to principle
man and woman.

Were it you who cast the stirring?

Space Within

The lake did not even know
I had stolen an unfathomable plunge
Into its deepest crest & quenched
my soul within its bosom.

Neither did the condor know
I mustered a flight in the clear sky
With a wingless gaiety to a flight
Only to formless pinions known

Neither did she know I stole
The scent of her hair as they flew
Unleashed to her regime of chores
silly daily chores of the day.

The clan of dreamers and poets
Is so nurtured and bred that life is
More real in images, thoughts and visions.
Well lived, fulfilling and responsive.

The victory of the space within
Is better realized to legions
Of time and space that lie
In the connect of the ethereal world.

Colour Palette

Tactile blinded warmth
of the colour palette
I heave to an array of forms, 
fluids, tints and hope
streaks of shades impressed
by the blade of your strokes.

Brushing my formlessness
with the ebbs and troughs 
of body and soul-unite
carving images-shapes
meaningless to the world
but to passions known.

Fiery red of your saree
staining the canvas though
dexterity of the craft reveled
moist at the corner of your eyes
floating passions delight and drop 
a dash of silver from your anklets chime.

With the emptiness anointed
to a fervent evanescent joy.
on your brow is a bindi smear
a taint from the instinct poured
in my soul and a reminder of the 
rapture dyed in coloured trance.
