Metaphysics of Woman

A Poem Composed by  Bhaskaranand Jha Bhaskar

 

A clay of emotions

A body, to be caressed, embraced,

To be felt as a vision

With pristine beauty, seen in glee.

A thought of God

For giving a thought to it

Enticing the world

By her sweet and pleasing demeanor!

 

An umbrella to the tired and the fired

Bathed in the scorching sun of hardships,

The sheep of rudderless life

Anchoring to the shore

From the sores of solitude

By giving a company up to the last….

 

A fountain –

Humanity finds a way from her womb

A taste of sweetness

From honeycomb of libidinal energy,

The power boosting metabolism of man

Channelizing his energy to a goal

For him not to go astray…

Not to lose hope

Not to lend his soul

To the mysterious nymphs of the night –

Veiled in wrong womanhood…

 

A map of dualities –

One leading to the body, another beyond

Hung in balance, showing the Milky Way

Sustaining a new giggling, innocent life

For a healthy shape and frame

To enjoy his life

With the other big one

But in different way

Not for any energy to build his immunity

But to forget himself being lost in a trance…

Beyond all happiness, pains and sorrows…

 

In the fathomless feminine world

Ever flowing milk of human kindness and love

A bed of sensual gratification

Where in the deep slumber

The soul gets thus mingled with the other half,

Loses his sense of existence

In cosmic vastness, where a life finds a way

Or sometimes goes astray –

 

She is a vast cosmic universe

Engulfing all the physics and metaphysics of life,

Through her transcendental company

Man passes through the jungle of the body

Lost in the terrain of existence

To the celestial realm

Of divine love, peace and bliss

All life finally dissolves

In the ocean of Divine Being…
