A Birthday Gift

Hey fropperites ! Here is a poem written as a birthday gift to a dear friend of mine.

The Birth

How are you ?

Here I go
My fingers showing an alluring path
in a space that transforms into
thoughts I am having with my heart

Here I do not hear words, but I see words
I do not see even a single picture of yours, but
I see lots of your fond letters and icons

The reality of seeing
brings the unreality of the seen

Here words are all :
Hamlet too said words words and words
The sage Bharata told that nothing but words
formed Brahma, the Supreme Being
Between us there are only words
inside which there are Nava-Rasa
and the Pancha-Bhuta

The letters, the syllables sing in unison
yet I do not hear them
I can only read the song
the syllables dance too
I put my steps with them
in a space that transforms into
thoughts I am having with my heart

If this space expands upto
half way across the globe
the space is unreal

It brings reality to silence
reality to stillness

The words fly onto the forehead,
onto the cheeks of a dancing soul
before they transform into
a virtual world of unending love

Silence rests in these words
They are dressed with emotions
The emotions are daring, naked like flames of fire
Fire engulfs the space just before transforming into
thoughts I am having with my heart

How are you ?

Here I celebrate the birth of a new word order
It is born on your birthday.

(Nava-Rasa : nine emotions described in Indian Aesthetics;
Pancha-Bhuta : five elements of life/universe)

titoh darn good one..one of the best. but u gotta keep on reading a cupla times to understand the beauty of the lines.
this once i dare say this is actually a poem to a friend and i am not in danger of getting caught with the poet's liberty thing ;-)

the internet has changed the way people experience relationship. to every casual encounter with meeting of bodies in mind, there are umpteen other stories that are rooted on nuthing but pure companionship,friendship. and ur poem brings out just that.

there is saneness still prelavent in an utterly and increasingly insane world-especially the online one!

kudos,u rock and ur friend must be a lucky one.
