The Final Retreat
When my time comes, I will lose everything............ Plain truth about life. Congrats for being the member's -Jayatissa K. Liyanage
We owe nothing! And you seem able to put across nicely. -Christina Simmons
Transcendent
The tone of loss here is heart aching. The imagery is both concrete and physical while also being diaphanous and ethereal. There is science present, religion and strong emotive power. Something like remorse moves through the verses without being remorseful. The emotions and intellect both are owned, but elusive. This is a very moving poem. A very human poem. Transcendent in its execution. Humbling. -Lantz Pierre
Gradually I will stop
speaking about myself. When
my time comes, I will lose everything
and set you free.
The blind eagle will find its abode.

Carnality
This writing spoke to me in such a powerful way. I used to be afraid of much of what you wrote about and even now I come with apprehension somewhat because so much was too complicated for me to grasp and yet I was oftentimes finding direction in your words and so I would open your pages and do the best I could with understanding.-Debera

Dirty homes
It is possible to interpret this poem and most of your poems in general as pessimistic. However, I understand this and many of your other poems as a yearning, a longing, a screech to come out of this insane situation where god dies daily, but closed-eyed people insist on reading something positive where god lives as a decorative possession in affluent homes. They would instantly discard texts that do not speak of beautiful things with beautiful words. -Supratik Sen, Kolkata

Earth's Intelligence
Wow this is a brilliant write. What really caught me was the beautiful imagery created with:
"The birds are
going to follow the sun carrying
the moon on their wings. "
As certain birds navigate the earth via the magnetic field (governed by gravity) which also interacts most closely with the moon (the closest object to us in space) - I found this specific line genius.
There is only one tiny suggestion I have for improvement:
"Do not open this dirt file of
the suspended time. It reverberates"
the second line of this could be
"suspended time; it reverberates"
taking out the filler word will decrease the syllable count of this line and help it read better, and a full stop in that particular position is not quite necessary, a semicolon keeps the ideas joined and flowing a bit more than it does.
But that's such a minor detail, which isn't going to take away from me nominating this for the weekly contest.-ether
Judging Comment:
The beauty in this piece is that the topic is something both elegant and completely unrelated to all the drama and unrest going on in the world lately. The descriptions are both fun and wheel spinning, and yet off the wall without being totally off the rail - which was an interesting way to complete such a piece - but it worked 100% of the way through. Which is something I truly admire about this author this week, they tried something both unrealistic and beautiful yet al the while the author stuck it out and tried to make that work. Which this week was a success.-BlueJay

Through your poem
Hello Sir,
My name is Naaz Fatima Khan and Iam writing you from Lucknow.
The common link here is Highonpoem. Today, in fact minutes before I read your poem titled "Love in Original". After reading that, I went to the descriptive profile of yours. Initially, as a person who has attached her identity along with words and expressions, your poem travelled and reached to that admiration. Secondly, when your profile says about the social causes and your active involvement, that brought the another touch of respect.
So, without wasting my time, Iam here to give you and Ma'am many best wishes for all the humanity you possess. Its a blessing of its own kind if time allows you to cross such people who sends beautiful thoughts to the world. Iam feeling lucky in that same way.
It would be my fortune if I could be any sort of help in this.
Basically, I have been indulged in writing. But whatever I do, the core intention is to inspire people around.

So life shall stand as mirage
And can never change

In present relation
So calm down
And make it known
That you are leaving golden place

dead bodies
Hello Satish,
I read a lot of your poetry.
Your imagery about the ”dead bodies” I’ve walked over freezes me in my tracks. I do think about dead people a lot. I read obituaries. That kind of stuff. I have a lot of feeling about many of your poems. I feel like I know you… or like I can see you speaking to me. It is horrifying and ferociously original.
I’ve been sifting through the bios listed on highonpoems.com. yours was one of the first I read. There is so much about your bio that makes me feel like a deer in headlights.
I can hardly believe how much you have written.
I’m a fan of yours Satish Verma.-Kenneth Miller

Body Becomes the Path
The enigma of life and death has always been insurmountable. The relentless probe continues.-GSP Rao, Hyderabad

This is one master piece. I had to read it more than 3 times to satisfy my thoughts. It has a mixture of emotions that turned my emotions into a spec of dust in a tornado. Really wonderful. Wish I could nominate it.-DarkLight

Last Freedom
The Secular Ethics
Very awesome read. I like how your writing flows together, to make me visualize everything that's going on. Many stories on here do that, and that's why most of the stories I read on here are good because you all are very talented and gifted, I visualized everything as I was reading it. Great writing. I was wondering can you return the favor and just check out my post about the connection between Superman and Jesus christ thank you. -B-law

Ghostly
Unhitching
This piece gets inside my head and convinces me that it is real. All the corners that the reader connects implement a valuable number of transitions, at the same time painting a natural display of multiversity as the world does of God.-abstractempo
Tasting Blood
Moving Shadows
The formatting at first has the impression of a haiku, but after reading the lines it's clear that the piece is not. I respect your ambitious formatting, only to me it feels like you were trying to replace something that wasn't there. Moreover, I wish you would instead say "send pink rains" rather than "send the pink rains" because the reader doesn't really know what you specifically mean. By putting it under general terms, the reader may interpret that for themselves.
An excuse to blow out all the candles and (burn) the limbs.
The three lines in stanza #2 are initially seen as separate, but when in putting them together as one straight line their value is more adequately observed - Not to change the structure, but to make sure it's making sense - and when doing so you realize that it's written incorrectly.
It's those little things that compromise a good work's potential.-abstractempo

Sovereignty
I like the juxtaposition of the breast tumor, which blocks the flow of milk (and possibly the flow of a life) and the "tragic flow of history". Also the image of "an Adonis to stitch the wounds of angels".-VH42

A Love Story
Another attractive write. Emotions pouring beautifully. They say words have their way of opening wounds. -DarkLight
Satish, this is a beautiful piece made even smoother with the lovely imagery and descriptions.
Here are my edit suggestions:
I have not asked for much but
still attached to you with subtitles
I wanted freedom from you,
removing stings from the flesh.
^^^
There were a few off flowy parts here and subtitles was typed wrong so I decided to just r-write it.
Anxiety was the darkest color
of floating buds on (A) lake.
Sitting on the edge of panic,
I started counting the waves.
^^^^
(A) is an added word and I feel it's needed.
Mixed emotions always subtract a smile
Just lonely, I went for the swim in rimless agony.
Have not heard much of you in ages.
Still memories crop up for a while.
I wanted nemesis from you.
^^^
in the second line I feel you could take out the 'just' and 'the' I feel should be an 'a'
Also, in the third line 'for a while' is not needed and sets the flow off a little.
Talking of blue and white clouds
love has many moods.
Devastated by a burning moon
I was wishing a watery burial.
^^
This is really good but because you haven't previously spoken of clouds and are just linking it with the sea from the previous stanza I feel it would read better without the word cloud as it seems to be just thrown in there.
These are only my suggestions.
All in all great write,-Em

Golden Throne
Poetry is the shortest kind of fiction. Within your poem 'Golden Throne' lurks many suggestive topics. Behind your poem must be a story. I'm curious enough to try to understand what you had in mind when you wrote your poem since the topics are so varied.How does that sound?

Dear Mr.Verma,
Are we referring to the religious belief in miraculous
births like the children of Kunti, or the ideology behind the birth of Jesus. what is the reference to, of the immaculate Zen - bleeding in chips.
How intriguing is the poem, how i wish you would explain a bit of what you write.
Really thought provoking.-J Nair

On The Death Of A Friend
This is very beautiful and replete with such beautiful imagery. I particularly like "Your face swims like a dragonfly on the interface of tears." I imagine a dragonfly whose wings are made translucent by human tears. Try as it might, it cannot reenter the frame of life. There is such a tinge of sadness to someone having died unsung. It reminds me of when I was nineteen, discovering that my father was buried in an unmarked grave. How dishonorable it seemed for him to be buried without even his name, unsung, if you will. While I remedied that by putting a marker on his grave, the sting of that finding has never left me.-Linda Marie Van Tassell
Not A Dream
i can't do justice at the moment in commenting on this poem, it blows me away. I will make it a point to come back to it, when I can... because, dam! it hits the insides of me and keeps bouncing back.-Invisible Ink
A Paragon
I love the punctuation used in this because I can read it in a certain way without worrying that I'm mistranslating it, and I lean towards poetry that doesn't rhyme. Also I love the scenery, it just flows (for me) from under the sea to a busy downtown area where no one is paying attention to a park where two old men are playing chess to a complete zoom out of the earth itself, spinning alone.-Catherine
