Bipasha Ray Sokhey
Neurons spiralled across my veins
Your utterance contoured my sanity
while lunacy reigned
up against the bloodstream
my scruple was guided
through a cosmic tune played
over your Bansi.
Did I crave doom on my fate?
as I am to kill the Elysian light in me
burn my flesh and feed on my blood
strangle my kin to corpses
shelter sins underneath
inquisitive venom diffused
in my scorched heart
hollo me a saint
pristine scriptures you may paint
yet, the demon harks what it deserves
a lurid turbulent.
but the flute played symphonies
stirring hurricanes in my soul
placid storms led righteous path
swaying away the guilt,
penitence, remorse, contriteness
Mansion of your answers
conjured up my questions
you unleashed the fanatic euphoria
your serene flute shunned the doom
those fingers ran over holes cremating my rue
made me an Aegis draping Dharma
a shield carved in the flames of Karma
peacock's feather on your crown
ceased my digress wiped my conscience
thy supreme aura pervades infinite universe
You are the born and the unborn
The creator of this giant plethora
You are primal and peripheral
O Manikantha, Abhangha, Anantaya
You are mana, you bridle seven horses within my mind
with the ultimate cosmic enlightenment enshrined.
* Bansi- Flute ( Lord Krishna's flute here)
* Dharma- righteousness, virtuous path (Arjuna was guided by Lord Krishna on the path of righteousness even if it led him to fight his kins on the battlefield.)
* Karma- person's action that determines his fate
* Manikantha, Abhangha, Anantaya - Names of Lord Krishna
* Mana- supernatural Life force
