Prahallad Satpathy

Your soft delicate beautiful body Floats over my watery eyes At night like a water vessel I stare at the night You twinkle like stars As if glow worms And I being the serpentine earth tree!

Spare me and my earth We have our own way of illuminations Let there be patches of darkness But I love the intercourse In between light and darkness

I am shuttling in between

Light and darkness Milky way is nothing but my manifestation I am illuminated! Maditation is all over Mokshya just a feet away

Your lips Carrier of my words Ferryall my woes in between shores Your lips are stretched out like hemispheres and I am rowing Flowing with the turbulent water

Let us fold the blue sky Like a sheet of paper Words no more words Either light or darkness And I am born blind I can only feel and hear those silent steps of the beat in your anguished heart!
