Spoken Word Poetry – My Poetry

PLEASE PUT SOUND ON 🔊
Do try headphones / earbuds for immersive effect

I primarily write poems about my experiences. An experience could be an emotion, a lesson, self-realization or simply a pure desire. I bring forward the real subjects, which encircle my life & of those related to me. I’m not afraid of writing about provocative matters, which others might say, “it’s not ok”. It’s never about attacking someone but being transparent; to be true to myself. Writing poems is therapeutic, it’s like my own way of healing me. Poem is me.

The background music is composed, mixed & mastered in GarageBand. I’m relatively new to it but I’m keen to learn.

The Mourn Sky

I’m sharing the second poem that was published in Adelaide Literary Magazine’s No.61 issue, October 2023…l hope you’d enjoy reading – The Mourn Sky ✨🌕💫☀️

The Mourn Sky

I haven’t slept a minute the whole night
Coz I’m stuck with me in this lost fight
The restlessness in me is like a landslide
Reminiscing the scenes with my wet eyes

I know the reality, it’s so black-white
I still dream if the things were otherwise
The longing to kiss the lips at times
The feeling to simply melt when I hold tight

It takes me to this place with warm light
I can’t even speak this moment coz I’ve no voice
So I touch buttons on my screen to flow rhymes
To dissolve the feelings while I see the mourn sky

I know my reality, it’s my own choice
Coz the purpose of me is to give life
To live from the deep is to keep dying
The love grows in me like a beautiful child

I haven’t closed my lids this whole time
But it’s time to wake up is the inner calling
To shed my skin made of wants & desires
But I’m just a human, I too bleed & sigh

The Constellation

Feet are glowing with burns
Eyes are flooded by surge
Mind is chasing the search
Body is facing the swirls
Unable to speak a single word
Coz path seems so crazy tough
But giving up isn’t the term
Exploring the unknown is the thirst
Walking the rough in pure trust
Lightning is the flow of the blood

Leaves are floating in the fall
The tree is standing naked & tall
Roots are gripping the ground
Universe is quietly observing it all
Sky is now having this talk
Key is the constellation in the dark
To unlock the unseen transparent port
Sun is slowly raising the bars
Pain is the seed that grows into love
Where love is the raw beat of the heart

The Source

I had written down this poem in May 2023 when I actually experienced this all…I decided not to post it at that time…Instead, I posted ‘The Story’…you’re welcome to check it out if you haven’t already read it…this poem is like the second part of The Story…it’s about what was happening inside of me…today seems the right time to finally post this poem (with some fine tuning)…coz sometimes, you relive the old scenes…they appear as if that incident has just happened…so, that’s what I’m sharing with you..and please don’t worry…coz my condition is sort of stable brainwise ✨🤍💫


The Source

His forehead was sweaty
His eyes were blurry
His face was stiffening
He couldn’t even speak
His arm was numb already
His legs felt so weak
He walked as if he were tipsy
Coz he was very dizzy
He lost his balance suddenly
But it’s the world that seemed shaky
His mates held him instantly
They guided him to the chair in vicinity
So he could sit down coz he was uneasy
They were keeping an eye on him constantly
One was pushing the numbers coz it’s an emergency

He kept sweating drops
He was slipping down
From the chair he was sitting on
He was getting frustrated now
Old memories were flashing raw
Inside he was crumbling down
He was struggling to express in words In that moment he wasn’t alone at all
Everybody seemed to have the worried sound
The paramedics were reaching fast
He was mentally preparing for another bout
He was screaming in his mind so loud
This crazy battle was once again very on
But it was slowly wearing him down
Another ride in the EMS towards the red zone

Oh
It was happening again
Thoughts
Were running in his head
Up
No, he couldn’t get up
Nope
He wasn’t giving up easily
Hope
He always had with him
But
He was still mad at him
Coz
He couldn’t do anything
Caught
In this situation once again
Cause
He didn’t know anything yet

Still
He was sitting in silence
Now
He was quitely present
Family
He was thinking of constantly
Focused
He was in touch with himself
Visualizing
He would press the button reset
Breathing
navinspoetry.com / @navinspoetry
The free flow of air in his body
Composed
Even when everything looked impossible
Key
Unlocking himself from the gripping patterns
Being
Reconnecting with the source of the highest power

The Sign

After a long time, I’ve written a new poem…coz the major part of my day goes by in recovering from the knee surgery…it takes most of my energy & then I’m not able to do a lot…I know, it’s getting a bit boring to hear about it every single time…but the thing is, I’m sharing something deeper & something very simple…these moments are teaching me to appreciate small & simple things…the importance of self-love…to look into your own eyes with love…to love your different sides…to have compassion…to give space…and to take things as they come…the very Creation has helped me quite a lot in not only understanding this but also to sense it with my open heart…to live in the moment is simple & difficult at the same time…it’s very much possible though…lastly, I’m still not able to check your posts regularly at my full capacity…I’m doing it whenever I get the chance…my gratitude to you for the lovely messages / wishes & for your understanding of me being partially active over here 🌟✨❤️💫🙏

I hope you’d enjoy this new poem 💫


Silently I talk to the quiet violet in me
While the violent in me is vibrating the violin strings
The sound of this high-pitched music that I stream
Is the melody of pain & restlessness that I bleed
No visor over my ears to silence the sound intensity
As the wise in me is observing myself calmly with peace
The eyes of this tree are sighing with fall of the leaves
The sign of this piece is shining even when I drop like tears
But I won’t ever hide my raw skin or the formless spirit
No shield I’m wearing, I’m simply standing right here

Repair

Visitation in different forms with drops of transparent emotions
Vibrations in every cell of this imperfectly perfect formation
Speculations in my mind of this physical & mental condition
Synchronization at many levels of the meaty & meet-me creation
Implantation of the prosthesis in the knee coz of OA detection
Preparations to keep playing these chords as a poetic musician
Reflections of the moments that are shining with manifestation
Relaxation while I inhale & exhale the magical realizations

This poem came to me instantly…I’m recovering / relaxing on my hospital bed after the knee surgery this morning, that lasted around 75 min…coz of osteoarthritis (OA) of my left knee…it was quite interesting to hear the round saw, nail hammering, cutting, pulling sounds with conversation of the medical team…with 90s music playlist in the background…So metal in me…Now I’m officially one of these…Darth Wader, Terminator, a Cyborg or simply just Me 😎

I’ll see, read, like, comment on your art and reply to your wonderful comments on this & my previous lines in some time…the cocktail of 2-3 pain killers with morphine is dope…just wanted to post this poem at this very moment, dear souls ✨💟💫

Reblogging – Poisonous

You’re wearing this bloody sensual body suit
Your seductive eyes are big & beautiful ocean blue
Every step you take is calculated & very shrewd
You’re holding me tight in your tender arms of unbreakable loop

You’re dragging me out of my castle of haunted moods
My face is hidden under the layer of my shady & torn hood
You unhide my crown of thorns with fire of your intense look
Those piercing thorns in my head are painful but I’m keeping calm & my cool

A single kiss from the sensual & poisonous lips of yours
Makes me bleed red diamonds, while I bloom into the scene so blue
The scars on my face look scary in this surreal reality so brute
I can feel I’ll soon be running on fumes & will for sure be doomed

I spin 360 degrees to see the swirling point of view
Your bite will slowly dissolve my flesh & bones before I forever snooze
This cruel nature of yours is so seductive & very crude
This whole picture is so dark while I’m hanging on this edgy hook

This very moment I dig my ground deeper to find my roots
I only see those huge shadows in the shade of gloom
I don’t need to speak loud or write down to show you the proof
Everytime I come closer, you disappear in air with a single poof

I’m searching myself desperately inside of you
Ecstatic rush in my blood when I taste the poison in you
I’m so much in love with this poison & poisonous you
I’m flying high in my smoking to be forever with you

Spoken Word – Questioning

I recorded this video of my multicolored LED bulb…Music created in GarageBand

You can find this poem in my book – Lightning Rhymes

Questioning

Is everything changing?
Tweaking
Is the mind chattering?
Freaking
Is the body shattering?
Exploding
Is the rhyme flowing?
Phrasing
Is the rhythm beating?
Creeping
Is the ink bleeding?
Deadly
Is the colour red beets?
Dead beats
Is that beast feasting?
The Red Feast
Is the heartbeat racing?
Panicking
Is the air slowly fading?
Fainting
Is the screen getting blurry?
Sweating
Am I simply afraid?
Suffocating
Has the time stopped moving?
Lonely
Have I started reaching places?
Phases
Am I going crazy?
Frenzy
Do you get what’s happening?
Suffering
Can you sense the feeling?
Burning
Are you here to catch me?
Destiny
Are you one of those preachers?
Creatures
Do you come from the shadows?
Light
Is this all a part of me?
Questioning
