touch me not

 
 
can still see the dying tail lights  
like the evanescent flash of a celestial comet  
behind a sand storm of sorts on the rusty road  
fading into the scurry and sounds of nocturnal life  
 
another world would be reached
a new level breached  
while I stand here  
under the gigantic shadow  
of the ageless banyan tree  
with trapped secrets  
 
can feel the rhythmic beats of dying hope  
sucked into the never ending pitch black abyss  
in a few minutes it would end  
like the lithium battery  
as I wonder about the expiry dates of emotions  
brewing and blooming in my scarlet heart  
my mind racing across linear time  
in multiple dimensions  
unhindered thoughts blasting  
thru the heavy ashes of time  
 
in another world see myself executed  
for thought crime  
break into a faint smile  
as blind bats converse above  
dangling  
facing me in their  
existential aestivation  
 
the breeze blows across my face
smelling of sweet decadence  
 
a road kill perhaps
 
a young one startled  
by a speeding flash  
dragged across the road
like destiny downhill  
 
start to walk towards  
the darkness
one leap a time  
 
the umbilical cord lies  
severed behind
bleeding memories  
 
the sepulchral sun goes into  
oblivion while the giant pearl  
beams  
 
another  
turn of the wheel
day
night  
 
death and distance  
seemingly constants
while the rest
decaying and living
more variables
entangled in the coil  
serpentine and stoic
  
the last stop is far behind
the last contact a distant memory  
now i walk into the wild in search  
of the lost silver chord  
[the one connection of the cognizance & the fluid]  
leaving past anthropomorphic gods  
and ancient demons  
in search of the higher plane and  
the highest truth  
surrounded by gripping calm and  
evergreen flora [Enchanted]  
 
till I reach my last mile
till my tryst with the one within
