[hometext] => All are welcome to read my latest poem - when I go away...
[bodytext] => ~*~ It is better to turn around I think I have smeared the holy ashes Upon my body, after burning The sandal wood pieces of my words In the fire of consciousness for so long, I have also smeared the dust of earth On my chest and head for so long - I could go now, but why must I. ~*~ Now, I stand on the bank of a lotus lake At the night time, I hear the moon calling: Come over to me lord, come over at once, I will bathe your body with nectar and Cool down your mind in my sweet embrace - I could go now, but why must I. ~*~ Now, I stand in a beautiful garden At the noon time, I hear the Sun calling: Come here darling, come here at once, This is our home, I am your lovely Queen, Why do you stay on the earth for so long- I could go now, but why must I. ~*~ Now, I stand near a burning ground In the twilight hour, the logs of a funeral pyre beacon: come over, your soul is a great flame You can merge in the flames of fire, come over- I could go now, but why must I. ~*~ I must hold this Mother Earth In my strong arms and wipe out her tears. The taste of her herb and honey still remains On my tongue; She is such a beloved mother Always she feeds me with nectar of poetry. ~*~ Yes, I'd leave, though, not just now, Not at this inconvenient hour- Just my self when I go away I'll take all your Sweet and loving memories with me As they are my happy treasures! ~*~^~*~ [comments] => 2 [counter] => 195 [topic] => 52 [informant] => venkat [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 20 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => goodbyepoetry )
