Body

My comments on the poem \"Body” by anabasova
You say the body never betrays you. It is the opposite, I am afraid. It has been said “Body language cannot lie.” Whatever our mind wants to put forward can be blocked by our body. Body language is what is used to detect accurately what goes on in the person’s mind. The contradiction between the words and the body language appear clearly. The mind has plenty of things to hide ; it puts forth the messages that are in our favour and hides those that will do us harm. The body does not care : it will just say plainly what is going on in the mind. So, the body stomps the mind. We all think that the mind controls the body : in reality, the body has power that overrides the mind. The way you fidget, you wring your hands, you shift from the right foot to the left, you glance across, you avoid eye contact, you shake, etc., all this betrays your deep thinking, the real you at that moment….
“Truth is always bitter.”
From the Indian television serial : “Kyunki saas bi khabi bahu thi” (“For the mother-in-law was once a daughter-in-law”). (Full acknowledgements are made to the rights-holders)
But then, everybody has their own “truth.”

Find me

My comments on the poem \"Find me” by Anabasova
You are going through mental turmoil. Thoughts and emotions are working against you, but you resolve to fight back. You are right in fighting back. You rightly say that a blank mind is more scary than pains. With a blank mind you lose anchor points that help you move along, in spite of problems coming your way. However, you remain lucid because you know you will navigate through all this. The tunnel must end at some point : then there will be light there. “Hope springs eternal in the human breast.” John Keats (1795-1821).
Best wishes, friend. May things work out well for you soon. Soman Ragavan. 4 June, 2023. //

What a beautiful expression of mutual understanding and respect! It\'s important to set personal boundaries and know where you stand, but it\'s equally important to have someone who understands and respects those boundaries

The right way
scarletttt said:
really good concept...i want to see this as a longer poem! i can definitely envision the type of relationship you are trying to portray, and this would be so great if you took this idea and turned it into an entire narrative using figurative language. (which you have really good command over!)
by the way, i have a poem w a similar concept up right now, its called \"the confectionary of a lover\". i\'d love if you took a second to read it and lmk what you think :)

A mirror in disguise
L. B. Mek said:
Brilliant!
(or, a disguised mirror
relenting to fear\'s, lament
rehearsing, that battle cry
eye to eye, a witness
to her own, worth
who cares, if her grace
blinds those, in-to wilful ignorance
sunrays, do attest
she does so effortless, soar
high above the herd
where clouds, cushion dreams
as hope\'s, lullabies...)

I don\'t like movies
L. B. Mek said:
I like your wordplay, yes
although, being born is more \'winning\'
a raffle ticket, only
we don\'t know what prize
we\'re starting our lives with..
and
as for movies, I too
have got tickets to some shody
works, but
have stubbornly stayed to finish them,
I remember once, me and my friend
playing cards
with our sides facing the screen
trying to make the best of it..
it\'s ended-up as a good memory
so I guess, it worked out
lol

L. B. Mek said:
there is promise in our disquiet
allows us to ponder, chaos\' whisper
and there is, chance
in our dispirited, frame of mind
for in lethargy\'s stillness
we may be granted, some awareness
we need only, separate
our two burdens, keep one
to grow stronger beneath
and allow ourselves to heal from the other
as soon, as we can:
\'The blood of my pain on your hands
The weight of my fate on my back\'..
(forgive me
I couldn\'t help but try and poetically
respond, to your somewhat abstract
yet, immeasurably relatable poem..
what a great read!
thanks for sharing, dear poet)

Where did the good go?
Rocky Lagou said:
Wow a very pertinent message dear poet! \"It\'s really hard to explain how I feel\" is so relatable. This reminds me of a Lorde song called Mood Ring in which she pokes fun and satirizes the whole idea of us being unable to detect our emotions and finding hope in all the trendy things like astrology and yoga so on and on. I\'ll leave a little excerpt: \"Ladies, begin your sun salutations. Transcendental in your meditations (love and light) You can burn sage, and I\'ll cleanse the crystals We can get high, but only if the wind blows (blows just right) I can\'t feel a thing I keep looking at my mood ring … Tell me how I\'m feeling (floating away, floating away)\" Anyways, great poem! 💖

change can arrive, far too sudden
at times
while we\'re recovering
from whiplash of one unexpected development
another one, lines itself up and takes aim...
still, that\'s what our anchors in life
are for
for when we need to reach-out
and hold on
to something, anything
that can helps us, withstand
those hurricanes of change, in life..
