Far apart from your body
I feel the light of your soul.
Love; self-indulgent, sybaritic
Seeks the body often.
Passion, blind and bold.
Finds the way.
The journey within
Of endless introspection
continues.

Lovely poem. I learn a new word every time I read your post. Thanks Maniparna. Has “sybaritic” anything to do with the ancient Greek city with a similar name: Sybaris, if I am recollecting the name of the city correctly? 😉

Thank you. I have no idea whether the word is related to the city of Sybaris. Maybe there’s a connection, the city was famous for its beauty… 🙂 I’ll look for the etymological connection, if any.

Sometimes, we meet a kindred spirit on our journey but due to circumstances or otherwise, we have to let it go. We seek the body not for the passion but for the spirit , mind and soul.
Like a rose, it reveals its fragrance and beauty, just for a while.
If it must be so, let’s not weep nor complain.
High up in the sky,
The sun still shines.

As Andy said, “sybaritic”. I learnt a new word today. This is a lovely poem, one of hope. Love, it’s as much a journey of getting intimate with others as much as getting intimate with ourselves. But before we can love others, we have to learn to love ourselves first, and sometimes that journey inwards discovering who we are is the hardest of them all. Love your poetry, Mani 🙂
