Strokes Of The Sun... Poem by Alexander Raj

Strokes Of The Sun...

Rating: 5.0


ALTERNATE TITLE:
Rainbow in my honey...

woke up by my mother's chest (east - INDIA)
rain caressed, a windowed nest
rainbow, in the womb of rainshine, sleep
waking up to sun's love within

flowers fragrance keep
fiddle in their souls deep
love drunk bee, overflowing honey
drips on my window panes

capture the sunshine rainbow
in my minds canvas
I wake up by your(GOD)breast
gleaming by the July light...

turn in myself, to an adult nest (west - USA)
marvelled by YOUR(GOD)connectedness
from east to west
my feelings crest

from rainbow to rain
to flower to bee
to honey translucent
to my very being

to mind and existence
of colors and fragrance,
of taste and feelings
I warm up to my mother's chest

to music chines, with inner rhymes
hear her bird song, spread my soul
Theres a rainbow in my honey...
Theres a rainbow in my honey...

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
It attempts to connect 3 dimensions into full circles and intersecting circles at that
1. time -
a. span of a day:
the span from dawn to dusk
b. span of two seasons:
apparent disconnectedness of seasons across distance
while time is more or less the same.
c. span of one's life: child to adult,
d. span of two generations:
two generations as in mother and daughter or son,
2. distance - east to west across the globe
3. nature - naturally occuring 5 elements - earth, wind, fire, water, ether

A. all three dimensions connect back to back to themselves and
B. the three dimensions connect with each other in a circular fashion as well.
C. the poem loops around back to the beginning
which is the poets childhood with the theme of the rainbow
(thanks to Jesse for pointing it out!)

The play was on dimensions intertwined
and shows differences btw the two extremes of each dimension
but at the same time both ends can be felt at the same time.

Especially if the poet is a woman she could be a mother as an adult.
While asleep she is herself a child with her own child
and when awake singing the song as a mother, her mother once sang to her...
so the flavors just blend to infinity

it would be rather simplistic to say..
I kept thinking of two primary things while writing it
1. olympic rings just 3 of them for dimensions - time, distance and natural elements(5)
2. continents as the 5 rings for nature and its constituting elements


These lines are removed from the poem.
Theres a rainbow in my bunny...
She's got a heart of gold...

thanks to Jesse for pointing it out with her comment:
I like this better because it connects back to waking up to the Mother's breast.
Heart of gold is a beautiful phrase to end with.
Leave it to the imagination I'd say.
That's the beauty of any art.
Everybody can interpret differently.
Loved the poem
