Where I watch you rest
9 February 2016
Spinning wheels
Take me to rivers
Where love floats
Like blue thread
Searching for the needles’ eye
Lost in haystack spread
Sad banquet
Tasteless piece of straw
Her fingers
Like a claw
Reaching through amorphous frame
Death lays on me claim
Loosened sighs
A tight demeanour
Letting go
Of wits’ loss
Pale blossoms fading in light
As the end now nears
Peacekeeper
In between spaces
Of Angels
And corpses
Red with the beat of high fires
Consumption my seed
They feed greed
The undead that roam
Crawling Earth
With tired hearts
Unseeing eyes filled with dark
Their souls lost embers
Wooden cup
Holds blood of the son
They chase it
Their minds ache
Purpose leaves them in the wake
Morsel remembers
Consciousness
Play of light and dark
Unwritten
Rules play me
In he, mean he, mine he no!
Bring no corpse by tow
I travel
Light my burden’s weight
A compass
Golden age
An era running in Time
Friends like hair thinning
Keep the faith
Spirit words voiceless
A clean slate
Is the fate
Of those who walk in waking
Their hearts long dilate
Heartbeats throb
Through the ripping cage
Renewal
Of eyesight
I am centered in the chest
Where I watch you rest
Reading of the poem:
Waiting in vain – Susheela Raman
What silence said – Susheela Raman
Oh my Love – Susheela Raman
