deadly sin ....

deadly sin ....

A Poem by Celestial Being
"

deception of carnal desire!

"
Just to feel myself beloved in this world!
My eyes water in a strange way and
I smile and blame those kitchen onions
and I try to smother this uncanny sense
of pain and shame that is a rising volcano.

A lethal thrilling night;
my body inflamed and swollen
like an angry river in wield,
tongue roving all over
rummaging little secrets,
 lips wet supple urging me.
The room becomes an ocean
and the waves start rocking me,
my body tossing like a boat in storm.
His whispers fly like a colorful bird
but when I reach out to take it in my palm
It is just beaks, claws, s**t.

  I lay there without breathing,
my guilt hidden under his chest
my conscience buried beneath his manhood.
Spread like a spent flower
my bones made of jade and coral,
each time the bird beats her wings
I frantically try to envisage love
But the angry smoke and the furious waves
lash onto the colorful wall screaming lust!
There were regret and repentance everywhere
on the upholstered sofa,
on the Gujarati stitched bed spreads,
guilt like an ugly bruise with a pale green tint all over.

Now I fancy in my fraught urgency
If I hold my breath and shut my eyes in earnest
and count till ten, would I feel new once again?
And then I rush to the kitchen
burnt smell of spilled milk all around.
I stare and murmur to myself -
Soon I will clean it up and begin all over again.

An absolutely amazing piece. Loved it from the
first stanza,

"Just to feel myself beloved in this world!
My eyes water in a strange way and
I smile and blame those kitchen onions
and I try to smother this uncanny sense
of pain and shame that is a rising volcano"

Very well written CB..............

a frenzied and bittersweet spill of lush indulgences and self escapes~escapades in cinematic bursts vivid and engaging~ there is such a myriad of nuances swimming through the depths of turmoil and passion in this poetic I went over and over it a handful of times~ each read opening another facet of a personal Pandora's box~I am in complete connect with this poetic

and these lines absorb the reader completely . . . .

I lay there without breathing,
my guilt hidden under his chest
my conscience buried beneath his manhood.
Spread like a spent flower
my bones made of jade and coral,
