Bouquet Of Belonging
A nomad wanders
in labyrinthine wasteland
of the denuded life,
desolate,
the sinuous dusty track
takes me
to the obscure terrain
of forlorn nowhere.
My soul’s lattice,
entranced,
migrates mystified,
entangled
in the encircling web
of enigmatic conundrum,
asks bemused:
shall I escape
from decay delirium,
or
shall I be the enigma,
embedded.
I couldn’t decide.
The ingrained imprint
of possessed passion,
indelible,
of the stubborn being
on the weaving wheel
of demanding time,
dexterous,
winds on its own
out of the tormenting tangle
of the tortuous trail
of the pining past,
transfixed in the horizon
of receding menagerie
of memory.
Steered with the promise
of pervading pride,
my beleaguered mind
out of the maze,
shows me the pathway
to the fervent fountain
of euphoric future,
figurative.
With the beat of my heart
I break resolute
the invisible blatant barrier,
impervious,
you’ve built insolent
with skeleton of seclusion
around the secret garden,
shrouded by arctic mist
of mind’s winter feelings
frozen.
The baroque buds
supine on supple saplings,
line your garden path,
wait for spring.
I saunter there,
suffused sensually
with the seraphic shine
of sunburst new dawn.
I wish,
before I walk the last mile,
our paths will cross
someday
in the valley of flowers,
entwine eternally,
metamorphosed
into bouquet of belonging,
epitomized.
