drowning words

image by Manu Pombrol
eyes fixed on the book
I sit in bottled sea
reminiscing about squandered time
green moss follows me
creating a stormy lane in the confined space
if it had been a pewter container
I would have hidden from your prying eyes
but now I am in an intractable alley
elusive in my indignity;
flocks of thoughts chase me,
beating on the walls of my mind

"I am forced to accommodated my naked being, 
don't you dare comment on it."

........

Writing after three weeks. I am just happy to be able to do so. For now.

  4. Excellent - you seem to have drawn on one of those Freudian dreams we are all supposed go have at sometime in our lives. The fear of being naked and not able to hide our nakedness.

  5. "bottled sea"...YES.
    This flows beautifully. So visual.

  6. The stress and pressure you bottled up in the 'confined space' of this short poem explode outward. Thank you for sharing, Gautami. I enjoyed the read.
