Set Me Free Poem by Ujjol Kamal

Set me free
Set me free
From this prison of flesh
Up in the upper chamber the thing known as brain where the thought
processes prey
Go a bit lower a thing called heart remains, which beat and brey
Encapsulated by lungs bigger that take in, take out breath
Go down more extreme the sewer system shell
Set me free
Set me free
From this prison of flesh
I want to fly free as a kite
I want to float free as a boat
Sing as free and carefree as the robin roaming and rambling
I wanna get mixed and melt with the hue of the predawn dew
Let no barriers be keep me off the fence of freedom ship
Let no religion request me
Let no society soil me
Let no love embalm me
Let no disease distress me
Let no rain remake me
Let no mountain mock me
Let no beauty captivate me
Let verse vex me
Let no literature limp me
Let no nudity beget me
Let no tears tear me
Let no smile embrace me

Set me free
Set me free
From this prison of flesh
I want to be hid
I want to be not to be
I want to be nonenty
Existence is unreal
Extinction creates
Orchids in the orchard
Fruits in the trees
Three yellow birds sat on tree
Writing the grammar and metre of a new faith full of pity and piety
Pretty is she
Her breasts belief
Eyes like Universe
Keeper of deep, dark mystery
Lips like ripen peach
Nipples as raisins
Who can resist
This beautiful, unique piece of divine artistic myth
Not me certainly
Im a slave ever of all bare beauty
In the church I do not go
In the woods I go to woo the forefathers of my lores
Boughs and branches twist and break having got caught in the torpedo-
eyed torrents
Streets are flooded
Houses, habilitations torn asunder
Such is the power of the invisible lust
Set me free
Set me free
I cannot sigh
I cannot see
I'm imprisoned in my own body
Mud and clay
Man and Maiden
Sepent and apple
O please do give me a break
You can write a religion
You can conceal flame
You can fan faith
If you but try a little late
Set me free this cave of caves
Set me free this cage of caves
I wanna walk nude and free
I wanna live with beasts and bees
I wanna cry under a moonlit night
I wanna laugh under sunburnt clime
Set me free
Set me free
My sorrowful, sole soul sob and sink
Sage and saint
Satan and silk
Flowers unfurl
Forests furl
Dreamers dream
Lovers scream with liquid come
Moody moon
Sandy sun
Dandy done
Crimson come
Come my lovely run and run
Come my ugly pin and pun
I pluck richen rum
The candle burns
The virgin burns
The flag is half-mast
His death is important to drum
Forsake this flesh
Forsake this fun
Flesh breeds flesh
Flesh breeds lust
Lilac is my pleasure
Will you please shut up
Keep your lips open
So I can make love
Set me free
Set me free
Free, free, free
Like flickering flee
Like the daffodil dying
Like the unborn, stillborn child
Like the chalice full of fie
A ship with no sigh
Water, water, water
No land in sight
1000 days in water
The sailors forget all prayer
The sun never moves
The ship never shoots
Definite certain deaths are written on their half-eaten boots!

Set me free
Set me free
From this confinement of life
This ceiling of sky
This ocean of dead-end dry
The prison soul pleads in insane plight
Hill upon hill
Sill upon sill
Only makes more hills and sills
Entrapments the soul cry
Lamentations of strange kind
Premonitions parade on perplexing pie
The soul is saddened
The eye is blind
Once you are in
You are in
Till the Old Man thought of you otherwise! ! !
