On the edge of the ocean

Nothing should hold you back
From immersing yourself
Forgetting yourself
Drowning yourself
Letting yourseld flow
Finding yourself back

Nothing should hold you back
From exhiliration

Nothing does
Except for
That flowing black cloth
That some think
Protects your modesty

  2. i can understand how women who customarily veil their faces feel while being by the ocean, faraway from their authoritarian community members.
    i feel so sorry for you, and happy as well for the moment that you can cherish.

    if you can you should rebel and disown the black cloth custom.

    3. of course it is not for the poet. it is for those i saw.

    4. poets should sleep but never fall asleep.
      they have to be aware all the time. enjoy your sleepless night.
      the time zone seems to be same.
      i will return home shortly. good night.

  5. Damn, I never thought it was a typo. I thought mention of pot was some symbolic or idiomatic expression.

  6. How long
    Is your tongue
    That floats in air
    As if it sprung
    From the sea to layer of ozone

    (You made me poetic wink wink)

      your wink
      is
      dangerous than
      the hole of sink
      because
      it is
      bait
      to get
      a stranger
      that is me

  10. Dear poet,
    I was trying to be funny when I said "At least I was honest".
    I did not imply that you were dishonest.
    I apologise if I could not enunciate properly.
    The stress that I answer your question first has been a Zen moment; I thank you for that.
    Best

  11. Zen moment is something that one perceives. It is not material that can be given or taken. :)
    Since you asked me for it, I have to tell you what I meant by Zen moment yesterday.
    Seeing your comments in response to mine, I realized that you were annoyed beyond the level that you ought to be. That was certainly because of my comments; I then decided "Nope, not further".
    That was Zen moment.
