Simulation

Megha's World

“Emotions – Happiness, anger, jealousy… is the mind experiencing “presence” in our holographic existence.”
― Clyde DeSouza, Memories With Maya

They say deep down 

inside 

we all are built of shapes

just pure shapes 

not mass or matter

a simulation of some sorts

our holographic existence

this world is built upon

We are just random shapes 

dancing and roaming 

around in this infinity

Our voices bouncing around

and echoing

till we are lost for eternity

My fingers 

are tracing your shape

an illusion 

trying to give you an identity

an amorous feeling 

rising from the deep within

its just a reflection

a projection 

of some sort of twisted reality

If there is no

mass or matter

and we are just random shapes

why not 

shape our voices

our cacophony

this deafening sound

into a beautiful 

long-lasting symphony

A beautiful creation 

which hangs in the 

between the limbo

of dreams and reality

and giving voices to

Timeless place

Megha's World

Let’s move to a timeless place

where the time stops

but the heart still sways

where the emotions are fleeting

and brimming over and flowing

where the moments stop

and love keeps flowing

where I overcome the fear of losing you

love is not stripped from me anymore

I still keep pieces of my heart

beating as a whole

when the time stand still

and we stay forever young

and the atrocities of life

seems so far-flung

where the eternal tune, the heartbeat

never loses the rhythm

and I see you clearly

my love never remains hidden

where the hands of the clock are 

never apart

just like us

our souls are entwined

into each other

where the mortals can finally lay a claim

to their mortality

can mock the death

get socked in the elixir of immortality

Oh! I wish and dream of such a place

where your heart beats next to mine

Healing

Megha's World

My bloated thoughts

in my withered body

swimming

through the turbid emotions

unperturbed

unmoved

un-oscillating

dead and stale

lying motionless

in the stench of the old memories

I sit and sip though time

my haggard face

and the crestfallen soul

carries those

inundated tales of pain

through the thin stale air in the room

carrying the silvery dust

thought that sliver of sunshine

and the Brownian dance

which tangles in my thoughts and

titillate my senses

Till I choke

and purge

regurgitate

on my welting soul

and wait for one more

day of

the silvery moonlight

to heal those

scars.

SPEAK – GEORGIANN CARLSON

Whisper and the Roar

not everyone is allowed to SPEAK
or maybe it’s just that not everyone
is allowed to be heard
either way
speaking
and being heard
seems to be for men only
women can speak to each other
but their voices fall on deaf
male ears
when women SPEAK UP
or speak OUT
when they are SCREAMING
for an end to the violence against them
when they SHOUT
for the right
to own their own BODIES
it’s as if no sound
can be heard

women living
in a patriarchal culture
have no voice

men have stolen
their words

Indentation

A colorful explosion, a kaleidoscopic implosion, a vibrance shattered amongst the ends of the horizon  and scattered across the galaxy with its tinge appearing  in every shade of the sunrise and sunset painting the crimson laced sky in the wee hours of the day the burst of the colors those glittering and spellbinding sending the vibration  throughout …

Proud to see my three poems featured in this social activism blog edited by Adam Levon Brown.

Living Nightmare ( Child Sex Trafficking)

She was snatched from the

warm embrace of her mother

joy rides from her father

from her cradle of innocence

naked,

she stands now

stripped of her emotions

Baring her broken and shattered soul

at every lecherous eye

and fornicated look

she is a grown up woman

too early too soon

Her pretty little dolls have

scratches on her face

and stained with the

memories of the dark moon

Her pure soul

is still denying  the

blisters on her body

she still can’t believe her ears

when people call her whore

Licking her wounds every day

and dolled up for the night

she has got pretty good

at hiding her sores

The dream of that

fairytale prince and

the first time rapturous kiss

has been shattered

so many times more

She still has faint memories

of the sun

drenching her face

jumps in the…

Peace

Megha's World

Breaking chunks of bread

throwing at the hungry beaks

salivating tongues,

with his bent back and

fleshy hands,

fecund fingertips,

savoring the life

beaming with happiness

and satisfaction

of feeding hungry souls

his body broken down with time

eyes bleared

hands shriveled

and spine

indented with spokes of times

carving stories onto them

heart is seeping in peace

lost but found again

in the backyard of the old age home

within  the smattering cacophony

of the loyal pigeons.
