naisaiku week 8

[ echoes of indian poetry 1 ] ~

"aami jene shoone beesh korechi paan "_tagore r .n._

' consciously,with awakened senses i've partaken of the death potion '_

no he's not talking of suicide here_he could well have used the word_which he avoids doing _it is the 'beesh'-the poison of life that he is talking of _ the hemlock that he willingly & knowingly consumes- out of free will ..

'alive i remain
with the senses awakened
SIPPING THE HEMLOCK
that puts me to sleep each day
but never kills me ' ..

keep the stars burning
brighter on a moonless night
AGONIES TWINKLE *
brighter on a moonless night
keep the stars burning
