Ride The Chariot Poem by C. P. Sharma
Ride The Chariot
Prurient angels possess the body,
Mysticism is the realm of the soul;
Sensuous mind tip taps the body,
The bliss lies deep down the soul.
Open eyes see the Body’s Chariot,
Ten stout Horses take its command:
Anger, avarice, pride, sex in the fore,
The nobler senses cannot defend.
All that we hear is the jazz of body,
Sweet lilting song of soul is lost;
Honey dips from the good men,
Freeze deep in body as winter frost.
Ride over the Chariot, command the horses,
Dive deep within to strengthen nobler forces.
*Prompted by Lamont Palmer's poem 'Day of Relative Rest'
This is indeed a nice 'spritual' poem, and as mentioned, has been prompted by Lamont Palmer's poem 'Day of Relative Rest', but I wonder, if it was not prompted by 'The Gita'!
Very strong writing, C.P. Your third stanza is particularly compelling. Kind regards, Sandra
Oh soul! You have come to rule neither to be ruled nor to be fooled Arise awake and take charge and tamed the horses for divine march. Good work. Last two lines are amazing
Very deep and profound, CP! You have a unique writing style. Best Wishes, Marilyn

DEAR MR SHARMA, Thanks for a poem with philosophical attitude with perfect rhyming brilliantly worded, Ilike the last two lines more since it is conveying the main message. 'Ride over the chariot, command the horses Dive deep within to strengthen noble forces' Should it not be the motto of our life right from the beginning.? A small suggestion to ponder over the end rhymes with the same words in 1st& 3rd(body) and 2nd& 4th(soul) which will make it sound better. A-10- from me for this poem.thanks for sharing.--Rajkumar
