dance of the warrior
as the black night deepens,
a woman's hair unfolds
like an accordion
he reaches out to her
firmly, strongly,and hard,
she put her hands on him
against the limitless
the night finds its own strength
and can sleep in passion,
the warrior protects
the idea of love
dance of the warrior
with swords in two soft hands
one points to the unknown
the other to her breasts
standing silent is brave,
there is dance in stillness,
the sword in her soft hands
bleeds Khusrau's tarana.
*********
Raag Hameer is one of my favourite
raags. The idea of the "tarana" came
from Amir Khusrao, a Persian poet.
What does the Tarana signify? It
reaches into the essence of all things--
basic elements as in Chemistry--so
there must be a single unified truth if
Khusrao is to be believed.
