Swap

There was a time when I was you
In every fold of delusion and disparity
In every expedition of fancy and folly
In every shred and thread of ecstasy
On the stand of living a liberal, regret-free life
Now, there is this time when I'm still you
But with a growing curiosity to know how I was
By re-visiting the mirror of past in you
Through the corridors of intimacy in the maze of time
As the colors didn't disappear in air
But were adopted, then owned by you
As if two chameleons did a permanent swap
When reflection of forgotten days finally got fully retrieve,
Depicted a *****, sacrificial way of love:
In the pursuit of passion and empathy
While I was filled with fragrances and flowers,
Someone was simply left with several lots of pricking thorns

Shameen, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Hi! Thank you for your warm welcome and sorry for the late reply, I'm a bit busy with my exams these days. I'll definitely read your poems. There is nothing much to say about my poetic skills.....I just write when words come to me... :)
