My Body - A Boat Poem by Gajanan Mishra

My body - a boat,
And I am floating,
Not exactly I,
But my body is floating,
On the water and
Also in the air.

Ocean of air, and
I am there.
Let me say, I am
On this island.
I am within
My own area.
Dear one, let me
Call you to share
Your happiness and
Sorrowful moments
Without any hesitation,
As I am only here,
Your own.

I am not in favor of
Placing the words
In an artistic way
As you know.
But my dear, I am
Straightforward.
Excuse me, if any word
Hurt you at any time
Anywhere or in
Any situation.

You are in your body,
Body-boat.
Take care.
I am there in a
Smiling pose
To make you a star.
