Pilgrimage


Unfathomable love, thou art the elixir of sentience
The alkahest sought by a wandering alchemist
Who walks on a dreary path to attain thy effulgence
Unperturbed by the lunatic eddies of the winter mist.


A lone bard in the midst of a convulsing ocean
Awaits the mighty gale to carry her to the shore
A pelagic coast, where the ballads are serene
And the chime of love reverberates from its core.


The celestial glitter in the naive heart’s ruby streams
Nourishing life, its mysteries and its infinite joys
Is the essence of elements forming reality and dreams
Heal her soul, lead her to salvation, O divine voice.

  1. I had to read it twice to get a grip of it (and still sometimes it bamboozles me.......) but I love your fragmented style with a message encapsulated in each verse ! I hope you can heal and become an alchemist from the depths of your heart (Read your earlier poem too :-))

  2. WOW... One of your best. Love is truly
    the 'elixir of sentience' Beautifully put. Love is the 'ember'
    to the the 'coldness' of this mechanized world.
    Love is the 'bright moon' to the 'dark night sky' of gloom
    The poetess can embrace even her darkest emotions and feelings,
    which is why she is never alone. She can turn loneliness into solitude, gloom into hope, and isolation into bliss.
    She strives for a spiritual salvation and achieves that through poetry.
    Really a seasoned writing. The rhymes and imagery are just brilliant.

    1. Thank you so much for going through my poems :).. The poetess indeed counts on love to nurture her, nourish her, to live in a way that makes her happy, to find bliss in any situation and to keep loving more and more every day.
