The Sharp Edge

I’m freewriting in the dark with the diamond blade
The sharp edge is dancing wild with the lightning speed
The sparks of these lines re-form that lively phase
When I was drawn to this life on my dying slate
Hemorrhage had hammered my house in the surprising way
I was down on the floor when I finished eating my evening meal

I couldn’t rise & walk towards my grounded bed
I was struggling quite a lot with no balanced stance
So I began to slowly crawl with my warrior pace
While I was holding the drops from my sighing face
I was living that instance so raw from the shocking place
So I broke into small pieces & some enormous like the shiny vase

Tears did the crystal clear talk on my wavy stage
Fear started to poke delicate walls of my clotted brain
I couldn’t sleep under the sheet at all for several nights & days
That scene was running in slo-mo like the never ending race
I would replay & then simply pause to absorb & sense
It was an unbelievable moment after all of my reality check

The Universe was initiating a call to tell it’s time for a change
Coz I had been sleeping for too long in the shallow depths
I felt instantly I wasn’t resting anymore in the coffin case
That waking up call made me explore the enlightened space
Weakness in me to the core but I started to gain some strength
It’s time to transform my spots into the constellation of true self

This is pure sharing based on my experience…I’m neither suggesting anything nor giving any kind of advice…I’ve observed one thing about trauma in me that it doesn’t leave the body & the system…and perhaps, it will never…but the way I deal with it has changed…if I’m open to see it with the eyes of acceptance, understanding & compassion, then it doesn’t affect me with the same intensity as it used to…a mood swing is bare minimal…sometimes I do relive those scenes through the memory screen…but I don’t stop that “movie” instantly even when it’s not a nice place to be…the magical fireworks of healing has different colours, projections & decibels…it’s not necessarily a peaceful process…I feel, it’s better to see & observe the traumatic experience mindfully & let it slowly settle down than to simply block it…feel it, be with it & talk about it to the trusted dear ones and/or seek professional help if necessary…and of course, write poetry or choose another way to express it…

I’m simply sharing that hospital scene from 2019 in the form of this poetry…my purpose isn’t to gain sympathy nor am I feeling sorry for me…coz I know what I have…I have fully accepted it & I have made peace with it

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.

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 ✨💟💫

Formless Trees

I’m gliding high with colourful birds on either side
Freestyling on the fly with my broadened wing size
Airing natural rhymes in an infinitely open sky
Holding ball of fire with calmness in my fluid eyes
Beaming rays of light through the shiny translucent blinds

Bleeding diamonds once felt like the breaking point
Shockwave was running into me when I was paralyzed
Countless spots in my shell suffocated me numerous times
Realized one day that steep falls were designed to slowly rise
I’m able to see that patterns & forms aren’t the real I

The gorgeous beauty of the moon in the magical night
Walking on partly visible path in the now is pure enlightenment
The spiritual energy is creating the magnetic ocean tides
Unknown depths I’m reaching when I tune in to inner shine
The new sides I’m sensing when I keep redying to be alive

Transforming cutthroat screams to the meaningful voice
Sanding inner wall that was clayed with layered noise
Dissolving deeper scars with the mindful sacred silence
Blowing on greyish site to ignite sparks of life
Manifesting formless trees on the naked & barren soil

The Floating Silence

It’s kinda crazy when I walk with almost an empty cartridge of this aching cartilage which is making me to lose my already weakened balance to the point of breakage but I still choose not to anchor myself to the hook of conditioned cottage coz all I want is to fall freely from the highest mountain to the deepest surroundings so I can easily harness the limitless energy when I erupt the volcanic traces of my carbonated phases in the floating silence of this oceanic darkness which is the effervescent & organic process to heal the righteous arthritis that’s trying to block the free movement of my invisible & powerful senses

My Serene Kingdom

Wilting under the tilted splinters
Blinking to see flickering clickers
Playing with my sneaky demons
Voicing my cadence with slippery fingers

Creating this path in deadly trackers
Breaking the norms in small fragments
Braking with claws on warm ashes
Picturing the forms with my naked senses

Scanning the heart in pure silence
Spiraling the sky with mindful timings
Spotting the clouds with sharp lightning
Sounding the dark with beautiful thundering

Shining in my eyes when I glimpse a mirror
Signing these lines to refine the present
Sighing this rhyme when I sea the wisdom
Resighting this site to build my serene kingdom

Fluid Lines

The empty space that purely shines
The clouds vaporize the deeper sky
The heart is Universe’s loving child
The beats are airing the blazing fire

No game to play by rolling the dice
No armour-sword to protect & slice
No story to hold coz there’s no point
No blame or guilt can pain my I

The now is glowing the simple signs
Truth & raw are my intense lights
Black & white is my intuitive choice
The falls are to weather the inside

The golden symbol I’ve just put aside
The white ring I then carefully eye
The nothingness I wear is dragon size
The path dissolves this very time

The silence in my breathing windpipe
The heat of this frozen thick ice
The drops form my poetic fluid lines
The flow rivers my transparent rhyme

Dying once again to reset my life
The new state is staging the wise
The freedom I grip is peace on a vice
Accepting my present is truly divine

Spoken Word – Transparent

The sky paints this transparent scene
The clouds are floating freely
The sun rays pass through the beams
The nature of magical energies

The airwaves sync the melody
The highs & lows flow exquisitely
The ripples are echoing the sea
The ground is rooting my feet

The track is ripping my skin
The layers are burning to thin
The time is watching it still
The drops are cleansing the film

The naked is pure not obscene
The change is to unchain the theme
The patterns are revealing the unseen
The scars are opening the deep

The seam is melting cracked piece
The noise is filtered to peace
The voice I break is to feel
The rhyme I ride is to be
