Life under the roof Is life too deep in the groove, Too hefty, oleaginous To rise for poesy or paradise.

Hmm! Sir, I read between the lines of your poem. Still too tough to dig out the inner meaning...having the smell of sinners here...the title of the poem 'homapologist' and the word 'oleaginous’ and 'paradise'; the use of these three words tends me to explain the poem from religious point of view. The poet most probably indicates the deceptive and sinful practices in our social life. It seems to mean the routine life where we are stuck in and uttering the unctuous words against our soul. Here life seems inevitable to commit sin since our progenitors could not help restraining their lurking drive of evil and thrown into the earth from the Garden of Eden and still its consequence going on life under the roof.
Sir, I beg your apology for such poor critical appreciation of your poem.

''Life under the roof/is life too deep in the groove'' reaches to my heart before I make out any meaning. It is a pleasing experience to read this poem for its own sake. It is very soothing...
However, here the poet's soul bowed down with the burden of the world yearns for freedom...
Sinners are the ones that are completely taken up with hearth and home. Obviously, they're earth-bound and, as though by the law of gravitation, forbidden to taste paradise or poetry. 'Oleaginous' with its sensual suggestions is rather too sticky a modifier to allow its clients to fly to either ecstasy -- represented by poesy and paradise -- or even genuine agony. They're incapable of any exalted extremes.
Sir, I am overjoyed reading your comments.Men tied up with the earth are not men, but are like plants;who can take breath, grow and die but never can reach the sky(paradise)... Their songs are songs , not ''the homeless ditties''.
How can I avoid the gravitation and live free (to live and die in poesy)?

I didn't get the meaning of 'groove'. Sir, I was always weak in poetry. Would you please explain? Does it mean musical beat?
