Vijay Pandit Poet Rhyme

Intimate Truth

She walks with dreams, deep passions woo,
Into euphoric ambience of a moonlit night
Carrying sweet secret, so intimate and true,
Sprouting in her womb blossoms of delight.

Though they are together, he feels all alone,
Trapped in turbulence of memories unkind,
Nothing she can say would emotions atone
Grief of matrimony he chose to leave behind.

Agitating unspoken, dissonant pulse of strife
His turmoiled heartbeats now brutally amplify
Frightened by weary past to embrace a new-life
When spiteful bonds of yore earnestly decry.

She tries, yet decides, now is not the time
Waiting till moon and stars are so inclined
To witness with Venus, dear-moment sublime
And unveil the script that destiny designed.

Clenched clandestine vibes utter a soft sigh
As happily her stomach churns butterflies;
And, until next-time, she bids him goodbye,
When they’ll guess the color of baby’s eyes.

Vulnerable she feels now, how will he react:
Will he welcome baby, yet harp in the past?
Will he face with courage or opt to retract?
Convulsed, she shudders~ will this love last?

Evelyn Judy Buehler August 7, 2023 at 10:29 AM Disappointed love is quite sad, yet sometimes it's not meant to be. Your elegant poem, with its beautiful imagery, makes the point very well.

Michael Tor June 18, 2023 at 5:33 PM Romantic mistakes take their tolls on our hearts Vijay. You have captured this well in your carefully chosen words. Wonderfully written my friend. Thank you for sharing.

Linda Alice Fowler June 17, 2023 at 10:43 AM I love the rhythm and rhyme in this Vijay. You always amaze me with your command of words and thoughts and bringing them together in a meaningful and powerful way. I'm still learning! Congratulations!

Alexis Y. June 3, 2023 at 6:47 AM Hi Vijay, I don't know how I managed to miss this one. Having a role in the hay without love is meaningless if one desires a loving relationship. Congratulations on a well-deserved win. Have a great weekend my friend-Alexis

Bill Baker May 25, 2023 at 4:13 PM One of the terrible possibilities when sex is put ahead of love and committment. Your rhymes were perfect and the imagery was enjoyable. As a reader I felt the emotions on both sides and felt sorry for he and her, for decisions must be made because they didn't wait for love and committment. Congrats on the win my friend! Have a great week! Bill

Sam Kauffman May 23, 2023 at 11:02 AM Vijay, powerful emotions portrayed for both people - uncertainly, fear, anguish - at a time that should be one of joyful anticipation. Angst so well expressed in your marvelous style. Congratulations on your win! Blessings.

Valsa George May 21, 2023 at 6:43 AM When love, before it matures, leads to sex, this can happen. She is worried if her lover will accept the fact that his child is growing inside her and if he will be ready to stabilize their relationship. However she carries this intimate truth with her waiting for the opportune time to explode the news. The uncertainty and tension she experiences are powerfully conveyed. Congratulations Vijay on your well deserved first place win.

Fin Chuuk May 5, 2023 at 8:56 PM This one hits home… Fave Vijay Pandit May 6, 2023 at 1:07 PM So special to receive your FAVE my friend. Many thanks for your kind feedback, Fin.

Brandy Nicole May 5, 2023 at 7:14 PM This happens more often than it should. So sad, indeed. So many are afraid to embrace the next journey, after feeling those butterflies and having intimate relations. This is tender and emotional, all at the same time. Your thoughts caress gently around me and my heart. Hugs, Brandy Vijay Pandit May 6, 2023 at 1:07 PM For sure it happens quite frequently. Such is the complexity of love and marriage. Much appreciate your insights my friend. Many thanks, Brandy.

Sotto Poet May 5, 2023 at 1:54 PM Vijay, your poem is amazing, and the issue is important. Many modern-day young women are eager to break the stigma against having sexual experiences outside of marriage. The day they get those butterflies in their stomachs. Nearly all lads will back out at that point. Still pining for a single life but terrified of commitment. Good luck with the contest Vijay Pandit May 6, 2023 at 1:05 PM Yes indeed--love goes through many many hurdles. Much appreciate your analysis, my friend. Many thanks, Lasaad.

Tom Cunningham May 5, 2023 at 12:10 PM A situation you often hear about Vijay, What is it about parenthood that scares some fathers to be? Are they still longing for the bachelor life and afraid to settle down. Best of luck in the contest Tom Vijay Pandit May 6, 2023 at 1:04 PM Life is so complex when it comes to love and marriage. Such is life. Much appreciate your insights, Tom. Many thanks.
