I hold on to you as you fly
High over cerulean carpet sky
Like free, unchained desires
Far away from roadsteads
Tasting the salt of unbound water
Into open countenance of sea’s delight;

I think I hold your strings as you fly
Plunge into chasm of infinite heights
Over white flames where you travel
Caressing neighbourhood horizons; and
I stand augured on the shore watching
As you carouse with fire and winds’ whim.

And as merry a fool as there is one
You remind me of Prehensions and Strings
Whose hold would never matter
If you did not know how to fly -
- Partners in that flight
- Partners in this walk of life.

I like the analogy to a kite - at least I think that's what you mean.

Keshi said...

Partners in life..do they really exist. I thought we r all alone anyways.

hmm... interesting!!!!

from the scent of an unbounded sea,
to the coasts of 'partner' by the pillowside,
A silent dream, out to scream.

You really get the sense of the lift of the flight in your words.

Jeevan said...

Very true, but sometime we have to know how to lift them high.

you remain me the olden days of flying kits on beach, and the sad thing is those kits will not fly away from seaside.
