The Melody of Life

a poem by Satheesan Rangorath

You came and sat near me.
With subtle divine purity
Spreading, the smell of fresh Champak
Pervading innocence
My stone heart resisting you,
Turned a blind eye,
Ignoring your presence
The country air touching your hair
Tickling me with the fragrance of your hair oil
Looking through the corner of your eye
By a flick you created a world of
Enchanting music around,
The melody of life
Then created tranquility between us
I see a heart full bloom of a smile
Your lips partly opening your soul out
Then touching the cord of love
The string of life
Future of existence
From the charcoal of my fuming dark thoughts
I enveloped you all over.
Making a pass at your peace
Consuming, me in to your aesthetic virginity
You took me over.
Creating, a Harp out of me.
Then rendering a note from your silence
The stone is meting down.
Into a streaming symphony
Through your mouth
Purifying every soul
Dancing on my chest
You fell in to the petals of my heart.
Rolling and rocking on
Then scattering Pearls everywhere and on the blue sky
I still hear your anklets ting
Your nose ring shines in darkness
You left leaving a glow in my heart
A cinder for life
And a lingering freshness,
Inspiration for my thoughts.
