Bitten by a love bug,
My heart swells with oedema
My love, like gnawing anxiety,
Burdens me

First of all magnificent write, a poem with a rare beauty, and I agree with the accolades given to it by the poets here.
Poems are bottled messages, it strays around until it is picked up by the right person, who would understand.You might get tired of reading all the good comments about all your poems.. Your words are very well chosen and it really makes me feel like those age old days in school when I had read those fantastic poets - wizards of words.Great write..10++
It is always a pleasure receiving a good comment as this! Never tired of it! Also feel the pleasure of finding my message being picked up by the right person! Thanks a lot friend!
Oh! What a fantastic expression you have made dear madam. Really it has come out from your core of heart. Let me quote some lines from your poem...... Yet I write this message, In secret code Pouring out my longings, My unuttered love, My invisible desires, Into this scroll of paper In cursive, indelible ink I seal it in a bottle With no address on And let it drift over the currents Top ten. Thanks.
i was going to read THIS ONE 'cause it kept popping up on the screen while i was commenting on its neighbor Poet. but i've read and commented on this already as well AND i'm tiring, having gotten online early today and not having done my 'recommended' stretching exercises faithfully. Bad bri! ! :)
Yet I write this message, In secret code Pouring out my longings, My unuttered love, My invisible desires, Into this scroll of paper In cursive, indelible ink I seal it in a bottle With no address on And let it drift over the currents Great metaphoric poem...no less a story teller like The Veda Vyas..in the episode of Karna, makes me remember Kunti. Apart from the poetic thrills, the poem renders a pleasure of the epical world too. Thanks dear for the sharing,10+++++ for it.
“oedema” …..in u.s. I would use “edema”. But, you are still in India, right! ? :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - “Like an inalienable shadow, Always with me!

So it was from YOU! ? The bottle and note, I mean. But I found several added sentences on your note paper. Apparently several others had found and read the note and tossed it back into the water, knowing full well it was not for THEM, but for ME! ! !

To Bri... the heartless cheat! ..... but then how come I didn’t get a reply despite my waiting I thought the bottle was still sailing, Sloshed by the tidal waves rising, Heartless you were not to see me pining Why didn’t you think, I would be crying? ? ? ? Really had a hearty laugh over your comment....!
Outpourings of a loving heart addressed to a lover whose identity is not yet known but the feelings he elicits overwhelm one and all alike. This comes as a magical spell to the reader: Like the intoxicating smell / Of the first summer rain /...Yet I write this message / In secret code / Into this scroll of paper / In cursive, indelible ink / I seal it in a bottle / With no address on

An Urdu poet Jigar Muradabadi says: - Mera paigham muhabbat hay jahn tak pahunche - My message is love as long as it can reach. A beautiful poem.
Wow! 'lovely lass' and 'soul encased'....I loved it dear Val.
Only a love so deep would make a person move to the point of addressing a love letter so profound, put it in a bottle and let it flow over the currents that moves it over the oceans until it rests in the hands of someone that awaits the love that that is so freely given. Lucky one he is that receives it. An inspiring write.
This is indeed an excellent critique on the poem of an extra-ordinary value. Thanks.
All your emotions beautifully bound with desires unfolding in a letter to your soulmate, who is out there waiting for you! Beautiful write!

Message of Unuttered love and invisible desires in indelible ink sent in a bottle. Beautifully stated. Bottle awaited. Thank you.
Now, let me make a make a few points. on the length of response to feed1. Whenever a poet uses personal pronouns, they are not always to be taken literally. 2. Neat picking words in a poem, what a laughable thing! 3. These red and green colour indicators, earlier are they removed the better, to me totally meaningless, the way they are interpreted. 4. Restrictionsback/comments. Is it not applicable to some?
