I am an eternal phoenix With my silky velvety feathers soft Yet they are my steel mechanics Of perpetual motion and rhythm Do not write me off For do know I shall rise up again And I can do that in infinite numbers I am an eternal phoenix With my key ring holding a rainbow That muses around melody and music That can touch you love and care That can touch you silky kisses in burning diamond I can touch you back to life And you rise up to dance And open the windows of adventures in your fingers And your palm lines become rippling rivers Sparkling water and waves craft music day and night Do not write me off For do know I shall rise up again And I can do that in infinite numbers I am an eternal phoenix With my heart as old as the silver moon That holds a melancholy tune in mute Which I can hold still in my ears in moonlit nights And a mind as young as a daffodil in young early spring I can count colours into music And music in colours poetry in hear beats When you touch me with overwhelming warmth Kisses and caresses become nocturnal bliss And they resemble tropical rain in the green Sparkling rain water crystal liquid diamonds Floating over your silky smooth skin Where I can and do paint a passion-painting With the colours and pastel of my countless kisses Do not write me off For do know I shall rise up again And I can do that in infinite numbers I am an eternal phoenix I take you to a long walk in shadowy afternoon That turns out to be sunny in sunshine-rain That wets us with closest of warmth I offer my hand to you You offer yours to me And I can hear the beats between two entwined hearts And you look up with petals of wonder in your eyes I then see a black rainbow shines in your black hair In various shinny shades of black In the wind that brings the stories of the waves Of the Southern ocean Where mermaids’ water dance calls us Towards a dance held between our eyes Do not write me off For do know I shall rise up again And I can do that in infinite numbers.

For How Long Can You
© Munayem Mayenin, 2004
How long can you stay upset? For I’ll make nothingness around you blossomed flowers For I’ll send a blue sky into yours full of billions of creamy clouds Creating various mountains on them For I’ll make the rain fall in your yard like Beethoven How long can you stay upset? For I’ll call the sky of Athens and Babylon For I’ll make time a dancing colourful peacock For I’ll make Robindronaath sing and Shakespeare perform for you When you wish to walk in darkness I’ll become the darkness itself So that you won’t get scared If you wish to read poetry I’ll become poetry itself So that you could enjoy freeing your soul If you wish to dance I’ll become the choreograph So that you could dance effortlessly If you wish to fly I’ll become your wings So that you could get into the infinite sky If you wish to paint I’ll become the colours So that you could paint your mind If you need to breathe I’ll become the breeze So that you won’t get polluted air If you shed tears I’ll become the tears themselves So that they will be treasured When you smile I’ll become waves So that you could float along When you wish to sleep I’ll become sleep itself So that you could have beautiful dreams When you desire silence I’ll become silence itself So that you could be yourself in contemplation When you will no language means I’ll become no language So that you could still mean without a language When you aim to be yourself I’ll become the infinite nothingness So that you could be yourself I’ll be surrounding you in warmth of emotions How long can you stay upset? How long can you stay upset?
Take It Into Your Hands and Throw It
© Munayem Mayenin, March 2004
Take power into your hands Use force As strong a force As a bison in that cage You have to have that power Take power into your hands The hands of thunder Hands that tame the fate Of wild and dark Take it into your hands That know how to nurture A butterfly between them Take power into your hands That can catch the sun As a red spinning ball And spin it around And let it go into the orbit To burn into ashes Ashes of your dreams Or ashes of the emerald flights Take power into your hands And take it as if it is a glass And throw it With the force of a multiple of earth quakes As if putting together all the planets In the solar system in a cosmic condensed ball Shaking like millions of earth quake Throw it hard As though the sun has fallen On the hardest of rock-solid-steel floor Dead hard and cold with infinite depths Of mass and more of it Can you see what happened to it? Take it into your hands And throw it And break it into Zillions of trillions of billions of millions of pieces So that it lost all its matter And all its anti matter And you feel all illuminated again Will you rise up in anger As Vesuvius And take it into your hands And let it go into non existent dust Take a deep breath And the emptiness begins to rhyme with Beethoven and Tchaikovsky again For the first time You feel free and related to Zillions of trillions of billions of millions of faces Faces that you do not fear Faces that bear your heart beats Hearts that beat faster seeing you Hearts sing solemnly seeing you sing
The Son of Eternity
© Munayem Mayenin, 2004
Touch the wet air freshened by the raindrops of the day And feel the silence frozen by moment's eternity Oh! Moment! The son of eternity! I wish I had written this poem on the sky with clouds And kissed you on the Moon Oh! Eternity dancing on my hands And the glory of time I drink! All the currencies that the world has got All the money they make I will give you all and in a cash transaction Can you bring back the days and nights That I drunk in Athena or Babylon? Or the scarlet kisses that went floating As a procession of relaxed stars on the river of time! You can't-so for God's sake Don't tell me to worship your money-god The bastard son of human time! Let me be as though I do not exist in your world! Time has its geography Overcoming means eternity What you may not grasp For you measured your life In rolled up dirty notes of dollars When I feel when I kiss and when I sing And when I hold the universe in my heart I am way beyond your filthy touch And I reign as the son of eternity Back to topTransparent Rock
© Munayem Mayenin, October 2003
I am a transparent rock With a translucent soul Deep inside For those who could see through For those who could touch through I am the wings of a rainbow-Pegasus And its rhythm in flight leaving starry dusts With mind full of supernovas blooming For those who could feel through For those who could touch through Deep inside that transparent rock I am Blue and Green Soft and Subtle I carry the winds and their stories I carry the souls of the oceans And I hold the universe in my mind I am here and there and will be So long hearts and minds mingle together I live a life of colours and drink the juice of green vines I touch your heart to gold or velvet sparkle I am the motion and brother of rhythm I dance and fly in translucent velocity’s craft When time and space cease to exist Because that is what I hold Deep in my transparent rock Where my soul sings lonely blues Duty bound here I stand Yet I hold the magic of a translucent essence Deep in my existence-core That sparkle colourful vines in the wind and rain One can touch and feel One can smell and drink Yet do understand you all my friends The rock is capable of being Shaken to the core When volcanic eruptions begin its dance Yet I am a friend of Pacific Ocean You can see only the rainbows And never the shadows of cloudsBack to top
