Sweet Sin Poem by Baharak Barzin

And I soared to depth of carnality Sweet sin, But I had to be free... my soul departs.. you have a very special way of thinking very original in words and the combination of words. love your poem for it creativity. thank you. tony

Thoughts you think as white nor gray fit neat inside your hands, but what are name's .. iip

Passion so intense but encapsulated in short verse, choice of imagery and words are outstanding. Thank you for sharing.

Crept to his bed with trembling feet Could feel how sweet, love can be Touched his skin of feather with velvet taps Could feel the eternal fire soaring to the depth of carnality. sweet way of expressing the deep love and romance and physical joys........ wonderful and fine.. thank u dear poetess. tony

And pleasure worth so brutal a price must have been intense.

This is the other side of things, that is, the appeal of what is immediate, natural, human all too human. And the lure of this kind of purely human, physical happiness is obviously overwhelming as your poem shows. And there is an irony herein: If the speaker of this poem were a 5th century B.C.Greek young woman or young man it would be seen as a hymn to Aphrodite and perfectly proper and moral in that context. I taught World Religions to high schools students for ten years, so I am acutely aware of the differences among people regarding morality. The speaker of your poem is awaiting punishment for sin. The ancient Greek speaker would be awaiting the goddess's blessing.

perfectly depicted poem of passion. thank you for sharing. 10+++
