PrefaceHere is a small gateway into my world. This is an opportunity for me to share with you my dreams and my poems, my visions and my songs. Many times I have found myself, walking ahead of myself. By the time I call out to me... I have already become the person ahead of me, and the other person ahead of him, and so on. I have seen dreams where I am the central character in time, history, myth or fable. I am ATLAS, I am ICARUS, I am ADAM, I am Nature...

Every poem here is about me and my various moods and images and forms and incarnations. It is easy to assume that a poem may be about someone else - an inspiration or a poet’s muse! Every word, image, character, animal, beast, bird in these poems is me and about me. And yet, to the reader… it’s all about you. Everything is you and everyone is you. I wish to touch you and become you. The more I breathe, the more I realize that I am from a greater soul and that all of us are a soul from the greater soul. I have tried to express this bonding and commonality in all my poems - we are soulmates.

From me / us to the Greater Soul – that has been my transition. I remain spiri-tual in every aspect of my life and have found a great peace in being balanced. Nature has become a friend and a mirror. Acceptance and Balance – are the lessons I have learnt from my life-song. Accept-ing that I am a speck of dust in the entire universe and yet my role in this uni-verse is to write these poems and share my dreams. Being balanced about what happens around me and what happened before me and what will happen after me is my new way of life. Acceptance has given me the ability to write about war and destruction with the same grace as I would write about peace and childbirth.

I have written about Love, Motherhood, Fatherhood, Nature & Self. I find these four aspects of humanity offer the simplest path to becoming one with the Great Soul. Maybe the Great Soul is about Love, Motherhood, Fatherhood, Nature & Self. Maybe all these words mean the same in God’s Own Language.

I have no doubt that my dreams have been dreamt before and that mywords have been spoken before by the countless souls who came before me. To them and others, I say... these words are yours and so am I. Indeed I am only a reflection of you in this world. I have imagined millions of beings singing my songs to their lovers. I have imag-ined a million souls singing my homage to their mothers. I have dreamt of my poems becoming vows at weddings and hymns at places of worship. Teachers teaching children, mother’s reading bedtime lullabies dreaming of my poems, Nature herself reciting my poems. The other side of my poems is the fascination for the language and the word. Ev-ery poem is a sweet game of grammar and text, meanings and illusions… An art-ist at work, his words are his tools and his poems are his paintings. I really don’t know how a poem writes itself out, or paints itself out. All I know is, I understand when to start and when to stop. I know when a poem – painting is complete. Sometimes I think my poems are all about my love of the language. And yet words fail me! Every moment in my life is a poem. I chose to write some and let some go. Words cannot capture every meaning and depth of feeling. Every poem is a story told and a story untold. For every word I have used, there is one I have not uttered. How do I communicate this unsaid poem to you? How do I tell you the words of my song that are being born in your soul as you read mine? When you turn this page, you will start the journey of reading my poems. I will miss seeing the emotions and reactions on your face. My first set of readers / soulmates were always kind enough to share these with me. If you care, write down your first reactions and emotions to these poems and send them to me. Enjoy my friend…I will meet you in the blank spaces between these words!!

Humbly, Siraj Sirajuddin

Phoenix SoulmateHave I waitedfor this heatAll my life

OrHas hell been expecting me.

I knew my beautyhad to be burnt,

I had to be scarred.

Now, here:

Is this joyat pain

I’m feelingOr

Is it painat joy?

Am I being purgedOr

Am I burning?

Are my wingsmelting into the earth

OrIs my budflowering?

Has the fire heatedmy plume red

OrIs it that my heart

has found all its passions?

Prometheus SoulmateAll,

effort was futile, when

the hunger was just insatiable,my love

And,

life, that cruelfriend of yours and Zeus’

laughed at meloudly,

my love.

Until,every soul here

receives their divine Fire,

I waited patiently,my love

And,Pandora, your

gift of beautiful evilwas not at all kind to us,

my love.

Every,chance arrow

I risked,pierced back into my gut,

Every day,my love

Prometheus Soulmate (Requiem Aeternum)All of them

Belong to you.

All of these:

Funeral pyresCamp fires Fire placesForest fires Open pits

Closed ovensPotter kilns

Burning embersAnd indeed,

The Divine fireThat burns inside

All of us,

All of these belong to you Your Majesty,Prometheus.

But, It is

The fire within youThat we needed

Yet, You gave the flame

Outside youas our gift.

Atlas Soulmate

At last

The globe Rests on

My shouldersAnd

The sun Shines on My back

The moon Reflects on

My soulAnd

The stars Shine onMy eyes

Preface:

ZEUS, the King of Gods, thought he was punishing me, when he sentenced me to carry the earth on my shoulders all my life.

My crime – leading a revolt of the Titans against the Gods

Little did he know me

At last!

I am ATLAS AGAIN.

Nine Eleven SoulmateWould that I could

Touch the skyand

Wish that I could envelope the earth

Every soul

LostWould still be

Here amidst us.

Would that I couldhold the sun

Every dayNow

Would still be The day before.

Would that I couldLengthen the nights

AndWish that I could

Hold the midnight

Every soulLost

Would still be Sleeping amongst us.

Faceless SoulmateShe is a special lady

butShe thinks she is crazy

It does not matter though

When she meets meShe will melt away

Craziness will melt away

Specialness will melt Beauty will also melt

She will stand alone

And separate

So that my kissesCan cover her

AndMy embrace

Can clothe herHer face will meltHer eyes will melt

Even her lips will melt

A faceless soulIs my mate

And When I carry herAnd fly

The sky will be her face

The stars will be her eyesAnd

The sun will burn into her lips

Thursday SoulmateThursdays are

Made forSweet torture:

Love escapes us,Lust does not let go,

Fantasies swim up and down,Lucifer comes calling,

And Friday, that sweet woman,

Waits patiently In the wings.

Thursdays areMade for

Sacred reverie:

Memories of our GodnessBathe us in light.

We are consumed by the stillness,Listening, waiting.

Humility comes calling,And

Friday, that sacred renewal,Is refreshed and readyFor a new beginning.

Departed SoulmateLearn to hold

the hand of the manwho takes his child to the grave.

Bless the fawnthat remembers

her mother’s milk.

Pray for cureor at least mercy

for the onewho is on the edge of disease.

Begin your daywith a million names,

one for every soulwho has lived and died

You will never dieand

I will never die.

Lifeand its gifts

will continuefor you and me.

Our shapesand our colors

will change.

Nearand dear oneswill become

more colorfuland less visible.

Good Night SoulmateMellow moonshine

Bending towards my skin,Good night.

Sleepy sunReturning to your mother ocean,

Good night.

Long shadowsMerging into the dark unknown,

Good night.

Sweet tortureOf the seventh heaven,

Good night.

Ten fantasies All at the same time,

Good night.

Conscious mindPretending to be in control,

Good night.

Droopy eyelidsLosing to the pull of gravity,

Good night.

Complete freedomAll unto ourselves,

Good night.

Andlet bygones be bygones.

I wake up to a new conflict

Andlet sleeping

dogs lie
