Eccentric Poem by ONElia AVElar

Eccentric

Rating: 3.1


He has never been to Jerusalem,
nor Mecca, never visited Tibet,
Bodh Gaya, Fatima or Saragossa,
neither seen the Pope in Rome,
nor the British Queen.
He is clerk in bank by day -
zealous pilgrim in a dream
and the holiest place for him
lies in the curve between
women`s neck and chin.

there's no difference between the higher states of meditation and sexual ecstacy...

This is a lovely observation - as always from you, dear Onelia - and I fully understand the Eccentric's point of view. Not only men have these perceptions of beauty in a loved one's body and I relate to this so easily!
