The Best Poem Of Gautam Gill

Serpents Entangle

Surrounded by aqua I am,
And in this stunned silence,
I can hear chants,
Chants of women,
Women from a land far away.
And I walk from pillar to pillar,
And the water circles below,
I can feel pure peace,
And in its aura I stand.
As if this is it, all that there is.
A million people move,
Beside me, Across me,
They move,
As I stand, I'm turned to stone.
By the shut eyes of this girl.
Only her head stares into me,
And yet inverted it lays,
And yet, emotion it emits,
Even in death beauty it casts,
Submitted it did, like a life giver.
And I stay, struck down to my knees,
These people move on,
And on and on,
Just a glance they cast,
But it's this emotion I live for,
All entranced, all enchanting,
And intoxicatingly still,
Yet emotionlessly powerful,
A true power, a force,
And as I feel it, I know it,
And touches my soul it does.
As I sink lower, kissing this wet stone,
I know I must go,
For on and on I must go,
Till I chance upon gold once more,
And then again ill lie,
Consumed and stung,
With this poison of the past,
Of emotion and purity,
Gushing through me,
Awakening my soul,
Feeding my hunger,
Quenching my thirst,
And taking me further,
Down the road of an afterlife,
Or a life once lived,
And I can't wait for the next,
But I must wait,
For a great life awaits,
And in this patience,
My passion burns,
As anxiety, it slays me.
