Moon_quest - Hello Poetry

I have fever but I don’t let it run high I take the medicine as soon as it starts to rise This medicine leaves me with a bitter aftertaste As the fever leaves me in a haste I have the medicine this once , never had it before Always had fever and let it soar I miss the flaming body now It feels more familiar than the bitter aftertaste somehow So familiar, my mind feels guilty Not seeing the body searing in pain For pain would cleanse Cleanse the toxins in my heart and not let it stain Captain, O captain! How will my heart be clean When it won’t be flushed off of you How will I function with you still in me? So, I think to throw away the medicine and burn in pain But the fever’s gone now and I have nothing to gain It is just the bitter aftertaste that remains

A letter to my Captain!

I have fever but I don’t let it run high I take the medicine as soon as it starts to rise This medicine leaves me with a bitter aftertaste As the fever leaves me in a haste I have the medicine this once , never had it before Always had fever and let it soar I miss the flaming body now It feels more familiar than the bitter aftertaste somehow So familiar, my mind feels guilty Not seeing the body searing in pain For pain would cleanse Cleanse the toxins in my heart and not let it stain Captain, O captain! How will my heart be clean When it won’t be flushed off of you How will I function with you still in me?

I'm feeling weary. Because it took a toll, I was too deep inside, now there aren't enough breaths to come back to come back to the top and breathe. The water is cozy, and I'm dizzy, hypoxic, I don't mind resting in the lap of these corals.

Weary!

It's not strong But It keeps lurking The subtle hurt. On top and below Of wherever my soul can go Always present but never noticed Like the air i breathe. No, it's not powerful enough To make me flinch To blur my eyes To ache my heart. It’s subtle Just like a constant itch on my nape I have made peace with.

In the cold, starlit nights The eddies of wind whirling me into spirals And swaying me Some little, then some more Taking me farther away from the perfect world Away into to a space Where I can walk UNTOUCHED.

Untouched

In the cold, starlit nights The eddies of wind whirling me into spirals And swaying me Some little, then some more Taking me farther away from the perfect world Away into to a space Where I can walk UNTOUCHED.

Watching silently Shifting between the black and white And settling for the grey The color of the rain clouds Of the pebbles in the stream Of the shells on the sea shore The color of wisdom The perfect neutral between the extremes Giving more room for my thoughts to swim And my mind to breathe Unlike the confinement and eternity of black and white Where everything is certain and nothing left to see Peeping through the grey keyhole I watch the world recourse and rebirth Filled with possibilities and conjectures Of scintillating conversations, debates and paradigm shifts Ridding all the permanence And accepting the constant that is change I moult my feathers and grow new wings And fly away into the grey.

Grey Bird.

Watching silently Shifting between the black and white And settling for the grey The color of the rain clouds Of the pebbles in the stream Of the shells on the sea shore The color of wisdom The perfect neutral between the extremes Giving more room for my thoughts to swim And my mind to breathe Unlike the confinement and eternity of black and white Where everything is certain and nothing left to see Peeping through the grey keyhole I watch the world recourse and rebirth Filled with possibilities and conjectures Of scintillating conversations, debates and paradigm shifts Ridding all the permanence And accepting the constant that is change I moult my feathers and grow new wings And fly away into the grey.

You live in this world. And then you stumble and fall Through the tunnel Into another world. And you experience the eccentricity of this one Then all you want is to stay here and snuggle Until you fall through another tunnel.

Worlds within the world

You live in this world. And then you stumble and fall Through the tunnel Into another world. And you experience the eccentricity of this one Then all you want is to stay here and snuggle Until you fall through another tunnel.

I am still caged In the depth of those eyes And all that they said to me And made me fall Fall free.

Freed in the cage.

I am still caged In the depth of those eyes And all that they said to me And made me fall Fall free.

You infiltrate You possess Your silhouette in my dream so real Your eyes engraved in every blank space I fear Playing tricks on my mind Obscuring my realities and my nights Infecting my peace, making me tremble Making me long, so strong In ways I thought was never possible.

Infected with YOU.

You infiltrate You possess Your silhouette in my dream so real Your eyes engraved in every blank space I fear Playing tricks on my mind Obscuring my realities and my nights Infecting my peace, making me tremble Making me long, so strong In ways I thought was never possible.

It’s a scary zone when things stop mattering When relevance starts transcending the irrelevance What then....huh?

Breathing down my neck like a serpent Controlling the extent of the microns my diaphragm moves Gazing into my eyes and going straight inside Unravelling through all the sulci and the gyri Putting a veil over my cognition Below which my existence screams to survive The veil so velvety and smooth Luring me to dance Dance to the enchnanting sound hissing in my ears To the musky scent filling in my breath To the seductive suffocating of the veins on my neck To the chilling of the blood under those veins To the groping and crushing of my muscles To the crackling of my bones To the numbing of all noise and pain To the shutting off the lids, until Until I feel levitated into a sweet sleep Disappearing under the cold, leathery skin.
