Ressurection of the Musical Ghost


with a guitar,
between his legs;
he sings.
she loves.

Traitor,
"where do you put your lips?"
he puts them on the lip of the hour glass.
he smells.
he visualises.


Red star dimly diminishes,
becomes the white land.
and the hour glass shatters on the string less guitar.

And then,
the sandy wind blows over the silky magic.
and the lovers part under it,
to sing two songs.

and then the harmonica,
bleeds on the iron violin.
sweet ,sweet.
by gone baby!

Cigarettes and cocaine,
my harp has become sane.
the ghosts come and sing me lullabies,
stories of slumber and dream.

blurry visions of the sub conscious.

Leonard, Leonard.
Dylan and misDylan.
love the others as well,
my strings burn.

Hell.
produce the lover,
produce the music.
sleep her songs.

My music god never,
you never sing,
my art god,
never loves.

And,
he dreams Jibanananda singing with Freud.

My music is a ghost,
tends to die.
but each time the ears sing to them,
they come alive.

well i guess it'll be sing and not sings in context to this line "to sings two songs"....
Its gr8 t read it coz of its lucid flow.......but the best part I must say are your illustrations....It makes me or infact every reader feel that u actually write keeping the illustration in mind........

Yes, that was a typing error.

@Sreshtha

I wrote this in 'his' class with a 'perception'. You get it, don't you?

your recent works leave me intimidated every time i decide to comment.
anyway...i think it is a symphonic work...and somehow i can connect with it...i loved the last few lines...it creates a sense to linger on...
i look forward to reading more...

@ Dripto

Why Cobain? Anything morbid has to be of Cobain cult?

wtf was that supposed to be? poetry is an art, my friend, not random lines bunched together in an effort to be 'cool'.

@Kaushik

Show some some poetry, my friend. Let me learn as well.
