The Best Poem Of Kalpna SinghChitnis

In Ecstasy

It's now time for me to empty my soul,
roll into the abundance of silences,
to hear my voice.

It's now time for me to pour myself,
into the chalices of some restless hearts,
and let my intoxication be the exhilaration of others.

It's now time for me to become one, with the vastness of the ocean,
and let all the waves come crashing,
to shatter my prides.

It's now time for me to light the candles, and let myself be a firefly,
entering the periphery of your light,
and become immortal.

It's now time for me to wear the charms you gave me once,
feel the warmth of your invisible embrace,
and let my heart thaw.

It's now time for me to be, what I haven't been before,
sip the night in ecstasy,
from your sacred tranquil lips.

It's now time for me again, to write nights in your name,
and be afraid to lose,
to my stars once again.

It's now time for me to hear, the heart of the ocean
throbbing in a seashell,
washed off the shore,

a heart very similar to yours...
