Prateek Maheshwari Poet Couplet

Bid On My Love, Ask If You Want

EDIT: In case I am breaking some rules of writing a couplet, I'd like to apologize in advance, this being one of my first entries on this site. Thank you very much!



Bid on my Love, Ask if you Want

A lonely heart, it lies sore
Far from the horizon, on the shore

Whittled by the tides, incessant as time
Bleeds slowly into the horizon, like the sunshine

Carve if you must,
Blow off the dust

Stab with a needle, bring it to life,
Then, my dear, will you be my wife?

Accept if you dare,
This person laid bare

The haunting of the past,
We'll hope it won't last.

For a utopia, we won't lust,
And a perfect world we won't trust

Past an injured present,
We'll look for a future pleasant

And care we will have only for the time,
Far as we can see, far as our headlights shine

And I promise, my dear, if it doesn't make sense no more,
I swear it'll lie back - quietly - back on the shore...
