Badass

she needed no warrant for her being
she believed in herself
a meanderer
a journeyer
with an unchained soul
she belonged to
no man, or
land

fearless
enigmatic
unapologetic
she embraced her madness, and
felt free in her wildness
she was a universe
of potpourri

badass was she

Unowned

not long ago, on a dark night
when the winds breathed wild
I had a momentary escapade
from my onerous life

my misty mind wandered
in a soft floating train
on a timeless journey
of the vast domain
O! what a vision it held for me
it was blissful enchanting reverie
the brilliance of the suns
the luminous moons
the ethereal oceans
all had me swooned

the secrets of the universe
I was determined to find
till a deafening roar
awoke my conscious mind

in an inexorable sweep
the trajectory was blown
a mirage, it was
it could never be owned

When I go...

when it's time, and
I fly off
into the
prismatic yonder
do not cry for me here
for here is not
where I will be
I may blend-in
with the gaia, aurora
or briny sea
whatever be
my transcension
know that
I did not die
I just winged away
with palpable
unbridled mirth
and, joy
