RORY A poem dedicated to my favourite Irish Rock Blues Guitarist Rory Gallagher

RORY

An echo in the void,
A rich velvety blend of electric sound.
The first clear crisp chords
of “Cradle Rock”.

A thousands moons in time I have travelled
to be here,
A myriad of octaves, trebles, sharps and flats
travels towards me
to be uplifted by your musical notes in a swirl of
song,
The “music sound” hypnotises me from beyond.

A pinpoint of sound makes its way to me,
Your melody burns fire in my soul.

Then I see you….I see you……Rory……

The harmonics of sound as you play,
You dissonance and resonance,
You rock,
We rock

Those gentle fingers of gentle hands,
Moving with a soft pulse like feel over the fret board,
Masculinity to the fullness,
Light touch of fingers,
Fingers dance and dance and dance….

Wave after wave…
Poetry of sound after sound….

Your beautiful dark chocolaty hair,
Cascading gently over your angel like face,
Beautiful Celtic patterns of your check shirt,
Illuminating under the lights,
Your band behind you all the way.


Your music gives you intense joy in your eyes,
Tears in our eyes,
Those strong Irish hands bring the “woman guitar” alive,
A music love affair.

Your music pours over us,
Like sun kissed rain of golden drops.

Poetry and prose about life’s hard ways,
The Blues brings out every emotion,
It tells the truth.

Your guitar sang, it sang, it sang...
You are there. You take us there.
I am connected to you.

You touch my soul, my soul, my soul…
You read my soul...your music heals our souls...

The Blue note is the only true note,
The Blue note is you.

Blue Butterfly By Subrata Saha

BLUE BUTTERFLY

Sitting on Collard Hill,
inhaling the intoxicating smells of lavender, orchids and wild thyme.
I gaze at the richness and beauty of English summertime.

The sky is of a clear blue.
The wispy clouds of white not to be seen anywhere.
Summer infusion of sounds and smell brings my senses alive.
I am waiting patiently for a friend.

I sit alone on this hill.
The grass is like a velvet carpet under the tips of my fingers.

I see patchwork of fields of green, red, gold
stretching into the distance.
The heat of Mother Earth, causing waves of energy evaporating into the air.

Swallows fly swooping and catching insects on the wind.
The cool summer breeze caresses my face.

I am still waiting patiently fort my friend.

Then I see her…
A sign of gathering blue.
She is of perfect, symmetry and design.
Her wings aligned,
A mirror image of each other.
Fluttering in the breeze as she lands on a lavender fresh.
Dark black veins that light up under the sun rays.
She the brightest of electric blues.

I hold my breath and do not stir.
I do not wish to disturb the silence.

She unwinds her proboscis ,
Taking up the sweet nectar of the flower,
That nourishes her with life.
A true blue beauty of nature she is.

She now sits delicately on the palm of my hand.
We sit together for an eternal moment,
And then she takes flight and is free.


I am glad I waited patiently for my friend.
My soul has been set free.

The Poems "Willow and Goldfinches" by Subrata Saha.

Goldfinches

The sun shines with a golden glow of light
of iridescent beauty .
Running down a flight of marble staircase of an Italian villa,
down the ornate white steps to the grounds below.

The carved ornate marble water fountains greet me with
sound of crystal waters forming an arc of water spray
high in the blue glow of the sky.

Swishing sound of Goldfinches
wing outstretched meet within the arc,
Visica Piscis meet in the middle,
Two circles meet entwined by love,
Their spinning wheels of energy meeting as one.
Yellow, black and bright red heads,
Their plumage of colours blaze
in a war paint of love.

Goldfinches meet in happiness
Their touching sweet beaks in a kiss of song.
My soul desire with my love twin flame is complete.

WILLOW

Whispering leaves of green that reflect
in the water colour purity of a rippling stream.
Green serrated leaf like drops rustling in the wind
with silent telepathic and secret messages of love.

The Willow bound to Mother Nature,
Ruled by the Moon Goddess of the night,
Connected to the feminine divine of strength, wisdom,fertility and joy.

Willow stem tattoo pattern on my hand,
The henna pattern runs deep into my skin,
Its mysterious meaning, spiralling,
curving with feathery sensuality.
The stem branch will never bend or break,
oozing energy sap of strength to keep to one’s life path.

Powerful in the mighty winds of one’s ego and forces of nature.
Keeping my inner light eye pristine clear.

Healing bark that heals the pain in my psyche,
Your strong roots run deep into the Mother Earth,
Entwined with my root chakra of my inner core.

Pea Green Dolphin of the Sea By Subrata Saha

PEAGREEN DOLPHIN OF THE SEA

Peagreen dolphin leaping high,

From soft foam of waves of sea salt and spray.

Arching back in playful beat,

Sheer joy and smile on your face,

Your graceful dance of the sea.

The banks of the Morah Firth,

Await your calling at high tide.

Highland mists of green perforating the air,

The gentle tide lapping against the shore.

Fisherman of the Firth,

Swimming against the tide,

Emanating echo location beat waves,

To create a net of circular bubbles,

To catch your rich quarry of pink salmon fish.

Energy pulsations from your mind,

Eye to eye, you find me…

Standing knee deep in the waters of the Loch,

We greet each other with smiles of joy.

I touch your serene face ,

And kiss you on the forehead.

Your laughter comes from deep within you.

With one last look,

And final encounter,

You leave to join your playful companions of the sea.
