Majesty
Sound of your voice crystal in my ears
Run my finger round the glass lip
You shriek.
This is not what I asked for
This is not what I dreamed!
The oracle told me
Believe in what you see. Believe in what you feel
I believe her. Not you.
I came from blue water
Color of your eyes
I came from sand
Texture of your skin
I came from sea and shell
Taste of your love yet
Still you drown me.
I am the sea gull
Without earth in sight
He seeks respite on the whale’s back
I do not need to breathe but
I seek respite on you and
Watch the moon rise in the water slick
On your back.

Another brilliant poem, Jaya! I loved the lines: “I came from blue water, Color of your eyes” – I could visualise the colour so clearly.

A gorgeous poem, relating to me, the complexities of being bound and unbound at the same time, hinting towards the paradox of human beingness. The imagery and feelings in this poem are superb. Wonderful write, Jaya!

My pleasure. I do not know what is going on but since you’ve changed things around I am not able to comment or like your posts all the time. I unfollowed you and followed you back. Let’s hope it works now. That’s the only thing I know to do in cases like this.
