The Suicide Comments

Gorgeous verse!

An interesting and thought provoking read

I hcan't add anything more to poetess Soumita's comment....awesome! Top score and to my favourite.

Bereft of soul My body shall be bare. Bereft of body My soul shall be bare. Soul and body. Bereft of body My soul shall be free. taking the reader to a mystical level. tony

The poem has got some under meaning which but we can make and unmake differently. Addressing the sea, she tells the things of her own, the life-story of a woman, what it happens to her in her life?

Suicide is not a simple poem to be taken simply. it is a poem of sexual undertones and overtones wherein the authoress speaks about her growing up and life-style which is but the life of a woman. Let her live, but make her not commit suicide. The suicide of a feminine soul, is it re-ordained? The life of a woman only a woman knows it, can feel it.

" Only the soul can enter, the vortex of the sea" . Great line in a poem dipped in spirituality. Thanks for it's selection as modern poem of the day.

well worth reading twice.

A difficult task! ! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Though it’s long but maintain the constant pace.

Its a song of the soul of Kamaladas

A well written poem by Kamala Das....

I want to be simple / I want to be loved And / If love is not to be had, I want to be dead, just dead.... //.... Musings of a body bereft of soul or a soul bereft of a body. A predicament of one who has chosen to discard life ridden with a bruised consciousness and teeming hollowness. Thanks.

Wow it is a long poem but it is really nice

A lucid n vivid metaphysical experience

Awesome..........just awesome............
