Toothless smile

Tags

child, I know beauty, innocence, modernization, poem, Poetry, smile, spilled ink, thoughts, words, world

In times where bombs and guns have replaced the teddy bears and cars

Where cartoons and fantasy bed time stories are soon becoming outcasts

Where money is taught to be respected

And what said about  true friendship stands corrected

Where one child judges the other based on the gadget carried

And play grounds? Ha, they have been long buried

Play stations and mobile phones reigning supreme

Winning virtual games, collecting virtual monsters being the only dream

Where messaging apps are the only way

Two individuals can communicate despite being less than a mile away

But then you come across a toothless smile

From a six year old, living on the chaotic streets

With parents barely making ends meet

Yet he finds reason and joy enough to show off the single missing tooth he possesses

While the rest of the world ‘enthusiastically progresses’

Daily Prompt – Silence (The Bleeding Nights)

Tags

​I loved him dearly

She said.

Held on to him as tightly as I could

No matter how much it bled

He was all I ever wanted right from when I had shared my first glances with him

Dreamt of bringing him that first cup of coffee each morning

Compromising on a bouquet of roses when i was all grim

Putting him to rest on my lap as I kissed him good night

Was the happiest girl alive when i saw him go down on one knee

Little did i know he’d make me pay,much more than bending on my broken knees

I sobbed until tears stopped to flow when I realised my laps weren’t meant to be his bed

How could they when he lay thorns and bruised them like a monster instead 

He turned out to be the most bitter coffee I’d ever taste

Used me on his bed,treating me no different than a toy to use and put to waste

Neighbours remarked on my courage to stay put

But little choice I had given Society’s logical consideration of women as nothing but lilliputs

A day came when he almost killed me while he was wasted

And as I awoke lying on the hospital bed,a minute of silence and I had made up my mind that day

No longer was I going to put up with,No longer was I going to stay

Despite all his efforts,I did manage to create a 1000 mile space

Yet my brutalised heart still lay secure at home tucked safely under his pillow case.

Etiquette of True Love

Tags

love, love her, poem, Poetry, poets, sacrifice, spilled ink, thoughts, true love, words

Love her like she is the last drop of dew

placed at the edge of the petal ready to fall

and disappear from this world once in for all/

Love her like she is the comet of Halley,

lucky is one if he sees it once

because 76 yrs it takes to reappear as a .

Love her like she is the sunrise at the Artic,

after six months of darkness and being all frantic

does it appear to the joy of all.

Probably the most vigorously cheered sunrise of them all!

Love her like she is the gulp of water

passing down the dry,dehydrated throat of a traveler.

Oh what he wouldn’t have done,

To get this single gulp amidst his journey under the scorching sun!

Love her with all you can till your very end,

no rain or snow can ever break your bend.

Love her and let her know you do

of course it shouldn’t matter if she chooses pastures new

because true love is all about sacrifice,

art of giving everything without expecting any requites.

Love her the way above or don’t you love her at all!

Because  true love is not a joke, not something to enthral!

But I’m sure if you do,one day she will be in your arms,

by your side,under your protection come nightfall.

Because true love isn’t easy to find

and if one does, one should never ever leave it behind!

Love is all about Colors

Tags

beauty, break up, colors, life, love, Nature, poem, Poetry, spilled ink, thoughts, words

Looking on at the horizon
with an envious and teary eye,
seeing the skies embracing the serene sea a good distance away
any lover would be reminded of where his heart lay.

It was but an illusion to the eye.
Nature had played its own cruel game
as no matter how far you go,
it would still look the same.

The skies embracing and showering love on the sea a good distance away
yet never actually meeting it to be able to say,
colors were perhaps the only thing that they could ever share this way.

The Bravest Sweetheart

Tags

brave, cancer, euthanasia, girl, poem, Poetry, sad poem, spilled ink, spilled thoughts, words

She lay there, arm in arm

And kissed him good night

As the drug started running through her veins

The pain began to subside

They had been inseparable over the last year

Nights had been so much better to pass by

She hugged him dear

Arm in arm, thigh in thigh

Sometimes she would speak to him

He was one, she never had to lie

She spoke of how her chances were glim

She spoke of how her parents feared

To tell her she was going to die

Yet she had braved a smile

The least she could

Make her remaining time with her parents worthwhile

She anticipated by the way dad had hugged her

The way mom had kissed

When the doctor had pushed his drug

Yet she remained ignorantly blissed

She told the all knowing, loving him good night

Hugged him, slept arm in arm, thigh in thigh

But this night there were no private words spoken

As neither her nor her beloved teddy would ever be woken

Daily Prompt – Together

Tags

daily-post, daily-prompt, discriminate, one, poem, Poetry, racism, religion, spilled ink, spilled thoughts, together, unity, words, world

We discriminate on the colour

We discriminate on the assets got

We discriminate on the religion

We discriminate on, like literally what not!

 
Do we feel superior doing so?

Do we think He does he it too?

Discriminates on colour

And says no heaven for you?!

 
He who created us surely didn’t believe in this

As he gifted us all the same

A beautiful mind to think

A wonderful heart capable of igniting many a flame

 
In times like this

Where we face numerous battles over

Hearts silenced indiscriminately

And hate voices raging all over

 
Do you think we can overcome such battles alone?

Seems a near impossible feat that

But how about we join hands, You and i?

Together is probably our best chance to bell every such cat!

Daily Prompt – Fragile

Tags

He walked in

She came too

They blushed and pledged at their rendezvous 

Soon it was dusk

With a mischievous smile she left

To never return after committing the theft

A new day, a new adventure 

A new heart for her to venture 

Fragile his mind was as he stayed there with hope

The single feeling that would account for all the pain, he’d soon have to cope.

Daily Prompt – Stump

​Showering my dear flowers onto to the earth that bore me 

Sheltering a million creatures with fatherly   affection 

I stood looking proudly upon generations that became with my breath of life

My dearest child,helped you in every possible way I could without ever a mention

Yet pitilessly,you reduced me to a stump that can no longer thrive

Dear Lord, I stand inanimately with tears that can’t be wiped of by what remains 

All I request you is to have mercy on my children’s future pains

Forgotten Love

Tags

boy, girl, life, literature, love, poem, Poetry, spilled ink, true love, words

​She cried for the words he never said

He cried that for him she never bled 

Days,months and years passed by 

She eventually forgot him like he didn’t ever matter 

He though,had her captured in his eyes,just like the first day he saw her, at his Alma Mater.

Let her go

Tags

​When living your life is no better than a lie, 

You’re struggling to survive 

But merely trying not to die! 
When she has become the only colour of the day, 

Nights darker than dusk

Stars dont matter any way 
You dream of monsters yet they fail to terrify, 

Watch sad romantic flicks

Yet not a tear comes by
Watch the majestic sun rise, 

After a to be refreshing ride by the mountain side 

You can even see the wind manipulating your hair

Yet dont quite feel its touch on you’re skin bare 
You know you live for it but internally want away, 

Somewhere that little voice says

Let her go

Listen to it! Please,just for your sake,let her go finally today!
