and the waves

thank you Gabriel :)

Very good. It reminds me FERNANDO PESSOA one of the greatests portuguese poets. Probably, you would like to read him (if you have not yet).

I've never come across his poetry. Thanks for the suggestion, i'll add it to the list :)

I love this Ophie as this one is slightly unusual from your stable & surprisingly beautiful. I always wait for an Ophie creation that is little bit lengthier than your usual because I want to read you more & more and this one further hungers my expectation from next time. I like this second hand book which seems nostalgic but then not so & yet mysteriously beautiful...I can see your blonde fingers typing this book from within your black framed specs dear:-)

it is lengthier and it felt right. I couldn't skip any lines or words. All's there.  
blonde fingers and black framed specs. what a contrast!  
thank you my dear

very insightful self-portrait:)..enjoyed

don't ever trust self portraits though ;)
you see yourself as you want to see them - sometimes.

Ophie this is a brilliant portrayal of who you are love the metaphors.. much love Crim

thank you dear Crimsin :)

ive been waiting for something like this from you for a long time

What do you mean?  :)

I've felt like those two lines especially for a while. There's not much to say about this apart from its beautiful.

same here. finally they found their way to paper. they always do eventually.
thank you Dystopian

and they are beautiful. the title has me here.

what would we do without spaces, i wonder?!
it's Virginia Woolf's..

L6 TO L10..captures the title, the waves & the elusiveness of the theme! the "is" in slants too seems like the starting wave apart from the stress intended. touching write Ophie!

love your comments Uma. Always thoughtful and always provide an in-depth understanding of my poems.
Thank you!

you can never be a charity
nor a second hand one
to any one
a poet of class
is born just once

thank you again :)

Why again??  
AAHH my name
again thanks u u
again

ur a good poet
some day you will publish
lovely poetry
meaningful short and sweet

haha, you make me laugh!!
i guess i should've written your name with a capital letter to avoid confusion!

I don't know if i want to publish. The future will tell!

 
.

as in?

Thanks for the words and the spaces between the words

and thank you for taking the time to read and comment

i have searched
there is no poet here
like you ,
so i will be leaving
again soon

thank you but why leave?

i read it today  
you haven't composed any more 101

you must continue
as poets like u
are minuscule few
the world also knew
do compose young lady
we all look up to the stars  
to heaven too
to see moons
as bright
as you

prosaic poet
a spent force

thank you Again.
I write more than I post don't worry.

but the denial  to share
what worries  
doesn't it???

  do u read my poetry
since refined
as many say

i will post one very soon. I'm just waiting for the right day.

shall await
the hour
the day the moment
but  
I  post one any moment
perhaps trash
some friends still  
read it too
their minds
I'd  love to en-cash

Ophie,

Not sure I agree with your metaphor, but who am I to say any different.

wonderful wording strung together with a strong voice and deep conviction.

lines three and four seemed to lack something, a word or an s on the end of poet, though you are far more learned in the art than I

all in miss, I think you've not lost anything of your deepness and love for writing words, relatable and readable with ease

well done, shine on  

Craic,
I nearly choked on my breakfast! Thank you for reading between the lines (in the spaces perhaps).
It's okay for something to be missing. Thank God is only a word or a letter!  I guess it's mirroring a second hand book or a shop that's always emptied of something or another. Identity itself is always never complete; it's a continuous process and it's seeking constant
definition through others and no one!
Thank you for your feedback dear. Your input is always helpful and
encouraging.

Sometimes

I wonder
Why I feel the urge
to read someone’s
and not others  

but then we all have our own urges
some love nudity
others non entity  

but then we all have our own urges  
Am I alone  
I wonder often
which library will buy me
Am I alone?
