Impulse

driven by impulse, we wander, from time to time, from place to place. from india to paris, from china to spain, we are citizens of the planet.

you’ll never catch us, O Wind,
we have wings, we have each other,
we have the sweet tangerine dreams
of how we’d like things to be,
how we wish they are,
and the most delicious,
how they are.
[and how we never
dared to dream
it would be.
how it is.]

you’ll never sink us, O Sea,
we have the promise that
‘everything will be alright’
we have the protection of knowing
that our love’s a sturdy ship,
and that your waves can’t reach us.
[but even if you do,
this captain’s going down with the ship.]

you’ll never touch us, O Fear,
whispers of failure won’t deter us,
we’re going somewhere
where you can’t reach us,
into a life of brisk Parisian mornings,
and sultry Indian nights.
we’ll dine with czars and sultans,
with kings and queens,
you won’t stop us.
[you can’t stop us.]

you shelter us, O Nature,
humid nights under umbrellas of green,
the meperidine of holding her in my arms,
the analgesia of her kiss as sleep catches
our falling forms and lays us gently down,
they more than make up for the bed of moss.

you protect us, O Sky,
you watch us where we go,
in a delirium of passion and
the exquisite taste of obsession,
before the stars sedate us,
and we spend the rest of the night
in each other’s arms.

you guide us, O Star,
we follow your lead,
wandering through Orient and culture.
we are subject to your mischievous ways,
but still we follow,
the taste of vanilla on our lips,
and music in our ears,
for this is our love.

[Undying Glory]

wow this was just fantastic. this was really, really sweet. the fact that you keep writing "O star, O nature" and so on really makes this great to me, as that really gives this the feeling of prayer, and that you're praying that you both will never be apart, and that everything will be fine for the two of you. awesome

[miji]

This is great! Really lovely descriptions :)

[Sagar Waingankar]

Beautiful framing of nature in words! It feels as if it's speaking with Mother Nature. Good work brother! Our efforts are never crap! It means a lot for someone, for most it might be a means for entertainment, for few it's a passion! Loved your way of writing and words you used are very simple and easy to understand. Your efforts and eagerness to convey the message are reflected from your thoughts. Poems do speak a lot! Take care!

[Love-shadowed Silhouett..]

Wow, this was just exhilarating to read! It was hopeful and beautiful and absolutely AWESOME! (And I mean awesome in the litteral sence of the word, no the pop sense of it :P)
I found it so uplifting and inspiring, I think I'm about to go back to my profile and write up something new! It surely won't be as great as this, but your poem has definitely inspired me!
