Reviving heartbeat
26 December 2016
Paint my lids
A streak of teardrop
On backdrop
Of laughter
Getting worse getting better
Changes unfettered
One o One
Metamorphosis
Lessons learnt
Pupils burnt
The eye a raging fire
Knowledge a pyre
Flame to grow
Prometheus dam
Holding back
Rivers rage
Wisdom for none to assuage
Aching of the sage
Shape my buds
To taste of honey
Flowing slow
From the flow
My chest now filled with the glow
Breaking point of seams
Riddled dreams
Orange tangerines
Bitter sweet
As I eat
Core and more through flowing streams
The memory gleams
Whistle low
Softening the blow
Drunken feet
Take to street
Where we strangers known will meet
Reviving heartbeat

A very powerful poem, Geetha. Metamorphosis is one of my favorite concepts to think about 🙂 I just try not to look at the opening image – I know what a real burnt body looks like 😦

Thank you Inese. I know too what a real burnt body looks like. It’s not a nice sight but one needs to look beyond the flesh sometimes
