This is a far cry. Serendipitous
You must be born into politics
And into territory, into economy
The vernacular bigotry grips the board
The territorial advantage must speak for you
Conversely you cannot keep someone from hoping
Hope, imagination, dream are free of cost
And you can revel in dreams
Though living in the desert
That is what gets the run of the mill going
Raindrops do not stop soaking them
For feelings cannot bottled up in a prize
Thoughts can be boxed in fits applause
Geniuses are not within political and economic frontiers
The birds in forests and orchards do not stop singing
If you do not clap your hands
The breeze does not stop rhyming with the running fountains in my country
Without your lauding drums

Cluttered in this social mess
Thrown in this half-awakened world
Read in open-ended pages
I am here in a reposed longue
Beneath me a quaking base
There is a reason you can call it heaven
There is a reason you can call it hell
I open my eyes you are in my lap kissing me lustily
With your balmy breasts pressing against me
I close my eyes I cannot see you but feel the weight of you
In a flash the intensity lessens
I fall back
In my seclusion
The reminiscence pains me
It becomes brimful and I cannot contain them
I write these lines to translate the pains into pleasures
Now in heaven and now in hell
I do not know my space
Maybe I am half in heaven and half in hell

Enjoyed heaven and hell and as you say, we are probably in both! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Best from Bar

Heaven and hell-An incredibly sensual and very sad poem. I was deeply moved. It seems to me that you are a very capable poet, if ever I knew one.

I am simply speechless at your applause and this is really more than I deserve. For the first time in my life I find someone unconditionally praising me.

I have no my friend. I am overwhelmed.
