from one room to another
I walk miles
in the inner sanction of my mind
you lock me in your pendant
I am outside with my words.
which reverberate the time
from the tiny window
I see the life force
locked in your horns
trapped inside a vacuum
"let me create melody from meaningless sounds"
Just gorgeous, Gautami, and I love the ending.

Beautiful swaying poem....lovely movement...wonder if you wrote sanction instead of sanctum of the mind intentionally or inadvertently ...obviously both would carry different meanings...lovely to meet you..
ReplyDeleteif you do visit my blog today ...My entries are of a rather uncharacteristic silly nature.... Please feel free to skip about
@Dr. Pearl: I wrote sanction, never even thought of sanctum....
ReplyDeleteloved your poetry and even i thought you meant sanctum. despite that i feel each of the words would have given beauty to these words..
ReplyDeleteyou just got yourself a new admirer :)
I do hope the dust settles soonest
ReplyDeleteExcelent, Gautami. One CAN walk miles right within one's own mind. So many rooms.....

just beautiful really that last line is fantastic and haunting!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and moving. Love the imagery you provoked.
ReplyDeleteYet most of the time we find ourselves busy..finding meaningless sounds..even in melodies.. thanks Gautami a lovely poem as usual..
ReplyDeleteThe poetry flows so beautifully with the words you choose.
ReplyDeleteBe well.

One walks infinite distance in mind.
ReplyDeleteLovely poem.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting to weigh words. To change just one word can change the whole meaning of a text.
Best wishes,

let me always create melody from endless sounds.. my words flow to me too as my melody. love your writing
ReplyDeleteI read this several times to tease out various meanings. I suspect we all have walked such journeys, and with many different outcomes. I like the conclusion you drew.
