Gopuram

Gopuram* Ana Paula Arendt A gateway to heaven amidst the confusion of the world, heaven: a clean, sacred space where shoes are left behind. Heaven: where prayers are heard with compassion and reverence. This gateway is pure bliss: a vertical mountain covered with the legends of those who fought for justice and light. Ladder, stairway of sight, all three eyes scaling the higher grounds of the soul… From muladhara, a generous base, foundation of flesh and loins receiving and gi

Besant nagar

The Pink Sun Ana Paula Arendt I dwell upon a hidden road. I discovered where the Sun is born and keeps all pink things hidden, the instant that does not pass, unveiling the world with its luminosity. In the East, over the Indian Ocean, in Besant Nagar* the pink dawn of a limpid, tepid, liquid daybreak, suffusing minutes that do not wait, of people never done with passing, of people never done with yearning. Of Sun, never done with flashing, of a wet Sun, forever through me bu

Ecstasy

Ecstasy Ana Paula Arendt God once said to Saint Teresa d’Avila that His favourite deed and her highest achievement in love was staring at little bricks mortared into the wall while she was uninspired in adoration. Not her highest insights, not her bravest words, not her most sincere emotions. Just counting the little bricks bowed and bothered when she could not pray anymore. I could never understand the substance of that incomparable joy in God’s feelings, that ecstasy God sh

Private Deixis

Private deixis Ana Paula Arendt I’m stretching my body in yoga movements. Suddenly, the verses stretch too, reaching where they hit the most: The inner ground where all poems are already written. So many people in the world hide their deixis in objective speech, working hard to conceal their view –outsourcing others to express it, torn from their selves… They were punished when they expressed their inner being and they never recovered into remaining— never felt safe to argue,

The Flower Market in Kolkata

A slightly longer poem for my readers, concerning a complex issue of consciousness: belonging to another person while continuing to love. May you find peace and enjoy the read! Many thanks to the Bengali poet Rabin Ghosh, Sonali e Rone Das for their friendship, company and for the pictures. 🤗 The Flower Market in Kolkata Ana Paula Arendt* Now there is a woman who would become a woman—what she is.
