Mystic Dunes

Mystic Dunes

How mystic are the dunes?
With swirling and swelling figures
Both human and animal
Bursting the bounds of normal anatomy.

How mystic are the dunes?
That I see with my naked eyes
The sufferings and simple joys of life
Straddling an exquisite mastery of line
Provoking emotion, ache and anguish
All at the same time.

How mystic are the dunes?
The ones that mirror the tragedy of human condition,
Yet showcasing colours of creativity
through new forms of expression.

Striking a balance between you and me
Coercing the final frontiers as I look into the eyes of thee
With fury and the sound of ivory bangles
The caravan moves as love dangles.

As the potent cocktail
Goes down the gullets,
The world revolves
And the storm hitting me
intently with bullets.

As the night shrouds its veil
It gives me a chance to avail
The meandering recollections that you left with me………

The title is inspired by the album 'Mystic Dunes'. I had the chance of covering its music launch in Delhi during my internship. It is all about a musical journey into the mystifying landscape, though my interpretations might be a little vague and different.
