D.H.Lawrence As A Fictionist Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

D.H.Lawrence as a writer is what not,
A poet, a novelist, a short story writer,
An essayist, a prose-writer, a letter-writer,
A painter, a reviewer and a critic of his right,
A romantic and a mystic?

Actually, he had to be a poet
And turned he into a novelist,
A writer of novels, novellas, short stories,
Essays, letters, reviews, prose-pieces and sketches
Controversial in his life and writings
As had been after love and sex.

A lover of the teacher's wife,
Eloped he with Frieda Weekley
Breaking from Ernest Weekley,
A lover of girls was he
Of Jessie Chambers, Louis Burrows, Alice Dex
And so.

A lover of the guru-shisya prem,
He was a disciple of Vatsyayana,
A reader of Kamsuttra,
The sex manual,
Had he would have loved
To see the sculptures
Of Ajanta-Ellora and the Konark Sun Temple.

One of the guru-shisya prem,
He is in the lineage of Vatsyayana,
Freud, Jung and Adler
And Rajneesh,
I mean Osho
Telling of sambhoga to Samadhi.

His short stories as the fictional tidbits
Without plots
Tread and toe the same and length,
Impressionistically and psychologically,
Attraction and repulsion met in love,
Love and hate theme,
Satisfaction in sex.

Mainly the abnormal and hysterics
Continue to appear as the heroines
Of his short stories
Taking the sunbath,
The hippies in love,
The drug-addicts,
The nude heroines
Dissatisfied sexually.

A writer of darker consciousness
Happening inside,
Of sexual love and dreams,
Possessive love,
Attraction and repulsion,
Love and hate theme
And man-woman relationship,
He writes openly.

His novels are the mystic poetry of love,
Love, sex and romance,
Love and its dreams,
The joys of love and loving,
The thrills of physical love,
The spray of scent
Emanating from the body.

The novelist as a poet sees beauty
In the beauty of the body,
The sweet scent of flesh,
The woman in sex and beauty
And he penetrating
Like a mystic sexually after the fair sex.

Sexual mysticism,
Sex and mysticism mixes he
Into the novels of his,
The flower of his imagination,
Sexual dreams
Of love and sex
And beauty and mystery felt through.
