So glad to share this little piece of poetry that I did in collaboration with my dear friend and fellow blogger Ankan. It was so much fun to bring this out here, and we really hope that you would enjoy it too. Do check out Ankan’s page here for more of his amazing poetry.
(My lines in italics)
The fluorescent is oscillating
between blue and red luminous upliftment
like some bohemian art
flickering spirits of a drunken maverick
Windows are open
still there’s no light outside
I have evident this darkness before
hollow and impenetrable
in the chaotic silence of
anxious and ominous days
clouds and the choirs of hallucinating waters
take over me like a devastating spell
there’s a rhythm in it
there’s a music in it
like that of a
withered primitive melody
sentient and hypnotic
and I am the madman putting words through them
words through rhythm making a poetry of wet and damp urban mess
words through music making a poetry which doesn’t make any sense
arranging semantic distractions in vague orders
to yield textured connotations from volatile tenors
provocative yet soothing
shallow yet abyssal
but the third one is magic
the third one is words through both rhythms and music
concerted into an enchanting symphony
with the synergy of sonorous quietude
Well, I get a song there
significant and from the roots of melancholic rain.
~ In collaboration, Ankan and Chhaya
