I was a man
A hunter ,a worrier
An invader ,a conqueror
Proud of my physical power
Spoiled by privilege and freedom to do Anything
I thought this world is place for me
To play according to my Own rules
That change shape with My benefits
War Was game to display my passionate strength
A Way to calm my wild instincts
A source to sooth my untamed desires
Lost ,adrift , distorted in quarrels
Intoxicated with lust and filthy
I was looked down by life and Earth
My solitude offended me with questions
Was that all i meant to be
Sustained desperation with No Peace ?
How long i will have to fight ?
For land that will stay when I AM DIED!
My restlessness will ever calm ?
Will i ever find way to home !
Something inside me kept saying
There is way to put Curse to an End
If i be Soft and learn To Bend
My heart longed and was bestowed
With her divine beauty and Grace !
Which was made to embrace
I took off the Garb of feral
To surrender before her soulfulness
When i recall her very first sight
Everything around me turned so Light!
After long darkness i saw Light
It was not her body's curve
Enthralling my every nerve
But the shine of sprite through her eyes
Promising me that My day will Rise
When i found myself Home
That will hold my happiest world inside
Where i will find Love and Peace
Finer Aims and Better Reasons to Live
She has drawn Man out of Beast
She is Inspiration to my action each
Earth is fit for life because of her presence
"She is Must as Oxygen" is Essence
This is beautiful, Baili!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, fills us with thoughts. Appreciated!
ReplyDeleteYou never met my first wife, but otherwise...excellent and well done!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this!!!! Very very good poem Baili! (clap clap clap!!!) :)
ReplyDeleteA fascinating poem, Baili, as you have written with insight from the perspective of a warrior male, so different from you! You are an amazing poet, my friend. I long to see Botticelli's "Birth of Venus" in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence! I didn't get to see it on our trip there last fall. If I'm fortunate enough to go back to Florence, I will. Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Beautiful piece!

ReplyDeleteBeautifully written !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat verse. It is also insightful verse. As others have pointed out. You have gotten into the head of someone very different.
ReplyDeleteDear Baili, I love this picture, and I have used it on my blog before. It reminds me of Jess cause she has long blonde hair. I like your poem, and Yes, a woman gives softness to the world, with knowledge and wisdom and kindness as well. They are many things. It's always a pleasure to read your poetry, Baili.

ReplyDeleteThis is amazing Baili! Wow! Beautiful read!
ReplyDelete(I apologize for not being around! I am so behind in blog land!)
Big Hugs!
I always enjoy your poetry, baili. And again I wish I could read it in your native language! I know that not all men are aggressive, just as not all women are peace-loving, but I think you've captured the general nature of the two genders very well.
ReplyDeleteProfound poetry, Baili.
ReplyDeleteWhat an imagination, baili!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week
