The Eternal Togetherness

Through the exotic Gold Pen,
Embellished With the Gold Nib.
Decorated with the
Lustrous peacock feather.
Was in conversation,
With the serene and silent,
Pristine white paper,
The throbbing red ink!

With emotions from the Stars,
Right from the celestial abode,
Did flow in spontaneity,
Carving out the
Divinity in form!

One at a time,
With every stroke of the nib,
A drop of blood-red pearl was born,
And it dedicated his life -
His whole being in carving out -
His love for her,
In words anew!
Countless such red pearls were born,
And they died -
With a smiling face,
For they could lay their lives,
Right on the bosoms of the paper!
The ink was determined,
Till the last ounce,
To be used for a cause,
He was proud of,
For his only love!

The Poet kept writing,
In awe each moment,
For he knew those were not
his words, but were from
Some uncurable romantic maverick.
For he never had seen,
such purity and depth,
In every turn and twist!

Dying and then being re-born,
Just to die again,
In the hope to be born,
Again to carve another stroke,
In that heart of his beloved!
And then to die with a smile!

Many lives did pass,
Many births did he take!
Many poets came and went,
Writing in their trance –
Some wrote about their beloved,
Some about Gods and Demons,
Some about country side and
Beauty of Nature!
The ink kept flowing through eternity -
For he had to sing his song –
He had to participate in
The Eternal Togetherness
With Her – birth after birth!

With every short but intense life,
Was strung beads by beads
An expression for posterity!
A beautiful legacy –
A heritage of harmony, calm, peace and love!
Some called it Shakespeare’s Sonnet,
Some called it the Milton’s epics,
Some venerated it as Blake’s mysticism,
Some worshiped it as Rumi’s Grace!

All the mortals,
Ages after ages,
Always praised the poets,
And swore by them!

But none knew –
It was that urge for eternal togetherness,
That made things magical!
The ageless passion of the Ink for his beloved –
The pristine, charming paper!
