How
   sensuous
        Is 
          a tree
             without

                             branches

                                    hidden

                              & how
                           sensuous 
                        mountain
                    clinging
                  falling
               echoes 
              or
           homeland
         in search 
         of
       its 
     home?
how
   sensuous 
       depends 
              on
         gratification 
        of 
    what’s
desired.

Poem- Salt Poet- Aditya Aneek

Poem- Salt
Poet- Aditya Aneek
Reciter- Shimul Mustapha

In a  book fair, theater, cafe, on the first day of Bangla calendar, around the festive Valentine day
An ordinary boy is he, if one overlooks his insinuating efforts to catch a glimpse of her attention
She, as per beauty and diva goes hand in hand to fashion and attire, fits entirely an adjective
In a flock of Butterflies, among a group of youngsters, The boy is an utter misfit, an outlier
Even though he, a lion heart, approached her one day at last, “Will we have tea together?”
With his brave proposal in, utterly astonished she pondered for a while,then surmised, “let’s go.”
Sitting with her, face to face, he had a butterfly in his stomach
With his dry mouth, he sipped his cup of tea and then, “Waiter, please salt, here.”
 With astonishment in her face, she asked, “ Will you have salt in your tea?”
The boy answered, “Yes, I was born around the seashore, along the salty foamy sea waves.
Once I have a sip through the salty tea, I see my village, picturesque
And the faces of my parents, floating around with the salty  foamy sea, floating far.”
Silent a soul, she, heard the boy, and then replied
"I have never been to the sea, my home lies there in the mountaintop."
There, the subtle clouds touch there in the gentle most surreal, as a feather of a bird 
The mountain and the sea, closely knitted there, day by day, a story , dense in heartfelt warmth
Then a marriage, a nest, at last a duo, aged through the grace of time passed.
The old man, before dying, handed the old lady a letter to request, “Open once I‘m gone.” 
Once he died, the old lady, opened the letter, It had this written there
"I never could take tea with salt, ever
A startled one, I, stumbled in mumbling then , with salt, to ask sugar in stead 
And then had an immediate cover up story of that type, to en wrap.
And so, had the forty years follow through with cups of tea with a pinch of salt.
The salt tea made by you is sweet."
The old lady went to her neighbors one day. They served her tea.
She asked, “ A bit of salt, please.”
Astonished, the neighbor asked, “Will you take salt in your tea?”
She replied, “Yes. The tea with salt is sweet.”

              seducingly 
                  unraveling
                      craving
                   gossamery
                 yet
            enticing
      thrumming 
   gently
then
   thrusting 
              softly
                  ~ k i s s ~
                        unearthing
                 secret
        meadows
    of 
poetry
    writhing 
          against 
               satin 
                  sheets
                        tongue
                 ignites 
               a 
      ravenous 
hunger

even 
       if 
          skies
              were 
                    without 
              stars
         & moon
    bid 
farewell
    warming 
              glow
                 & embracing 
              time
        eternal 
love song
       ~ e c h o i n g ~
     our 
        wonderland
            eating 
              winter away,
                 & drinking up 
                        spring sun
                             fruits 
                          of 
                     ambition
                blooming
             in 
         garden 
      of
hope

nascent 
     dawn appears
kaleidoscope 
 of 
color
  midnight 
    sighs 
       leftovers 
                     of 
       last night
    plateful of 
  unsaid
words, 
a 
 tablecloth 
  of rapier-sharp 
           folds
                 &
            fireplace 
     dying 
to be 
     kept 
           alive 

sensitive 
      hearts 
           feel
             powerful 
                          in 
            mundane
        rain 
    pelting 
petals
    think 
           of 
              others

when eating
       remember 
             pigeon 
                 food
when fighting
     remember 
             seeking 
                   peace
paying water-bill
      remember
           cloud-nursed
when homecoming
       remember  
            homeless 
                 campers
 when sleeping 
     counting stars
               remember
                      sleepless, 
               roofless
         foodless
    healthless
hopeless
                     be a candle 
                            in 
                         dark 

snow 
  mixed 
      drizzle ...
        dust-covered 
man 
    holds 
       hand
          of daughter
             dying 
                slowly
                under 
           slabs 
           of 
   concrete
life 
     illusion
         dream
           swoon
       ecstasy
oblivion

                 **************************

diaphanous
        spirals
of 
     spectral 
                  nebula
tethered 
to 
whispers 
     of 
    life 
a
    paradox 
                 swirls
 in
    meticulous 
         orchestration 
of 
         touch 
               & sight
 

where 
       heartbeat 
                  echoes 
foreboding
         forecasting 
a 
         sweeping
chronicle 
         etched 
                  
in 
         ether 
                fragile 
breath 
       fleeting 
as 
       twilight 
thread 
         unbares
layers 
of 
ethereal
            embroidery
sewn 
from 
souvenirs

     tactile 
              puzzles 
                        mapping 
       connections 
under 
         vast sky 
       scattered 
with 
      ambiguity 
of 
       perception 
              seeking 
clarity 
in 
clouds 
       marked 
by 
light &
                  experience 
       wind-driven 
 sails 
         mysteries 
                        folded 
                                within 

gentle 
     breeze 
             amidst 
ephemeral 
       odyssey 
             intimacy 
                  anchors 
                           us 
                with its 
      quiet 
song

OPEN FORM created by Brian Strand in lowercase without grammatical symbols, uses spaces&breaks relying upon 'the one breath limitation' & as a  'happening' requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input &respond in a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood & thus is inherently variable.
