Let The Body Speak' Poem by indira babbellapati
Let The Body Speak'
do you know
that this ancient body
longs to speak
devoid of niceties
bereft of metaphors
the only language it knows-
the language of
agony and ecstasy
when desire strikes with
the intensity of a boomerang
hurled eons ago when
we roamed the earth?
…it’s the same
unsettling feeling
then and now too...
and when the body
begins to speak
scrawling its unique alphabet
without guilt
without frills
there arises one single
moan of ecstasy
in its pristine form
paralyzing yet vibrating
through the entwined
limbs and nerves
it strikes the frozen darkness
till then lying fossiled within
the inner walls with the
sublimity and alacrity of
a lightning…
for once
for one fleeting moment
though within the other’s grasp
your body and mine
go beyond us as
each nuance tickles us in
an ecstatic joy…

I think the longest and the loneliest journey is the one to find self. You have taken that voyage of discovery to another level. Bravo Indira Bravo. 10
from nikunj: this is beautiful Indira...this has finesse, this has grace and the respect for one of the most sought after desire since ages. you have used the simple words here very well...I liked....1. a boomerang hurled eons ago when we roamed the earth - nice way to put the essential elements of life...to project the innermost needs in words..2. scrawling its unique alphabet without guilt...this is divine and mystical....physics at its best, wrapped in chemistry...3. frozen darkness till then lying fossiled within............this is delicious to the poetic appetite...Indira you are a magician with words....is all I can say on let the body speak From Nikunj
Very intense, very passionate and it is so true that it is the body that matters in the end.Really ecstatic this poem. Please take a look at my poem 'Love where are you', some 34 word poem..........
The body indeed has a language of its own which has been brilliantly versified in this write, a poem which raises sensuousness to an almost spiritual level.
From: Brett Ackerman (Colorado Springs United States; Male; 44) To: Indira Babbellapati Date Time: 10/13/2009 3: 10: 00 AM (GMT -6: 00) Subject: Re: let the body speak Language is the body's only true function that examines all the possibilities of your theme.....very thought provoking.
'…it’s the same unsettling feeling then and now too...' I often use this expression while discussing about civilization or the so called evolution of mankind. Feels good to see it a poetic form that too penned by my beloved teacher.
