Lawrence Into The Dark Layers Of Consciousness Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Lawrence as a novelist
Dips into the layers
Of dark consciousness
To delve and dwell upon
Man-woman relationship,
Attraction and repulsion,
Give and take relationship.

A novelist of the pulls
And counter-pulls
Of consciousness,
Sensational and sensitive
And sensuous,
Sexual and dreamy.

One of male domination
And possessive love,
His is a phallic consciousness,
Earthy, bodily
And physical,
Carnal and voluptuous.

The soul not, but the body
The centre of his attraction,
A novelist just like
Harbouring the ideas
Of Vatsyayana, Freud and Rajneesh,
Sexual and erotic
And incestuous.

A yogi not, but a bhogi
With the eloped with
Disciples in the ashrama
In his prem-matha,
Talking of guru-shisya prem
Immoral and incestuous.
