Bid On My Love, Tell Me the Truth

Bid on My Love, Tell me the Truth Present me a future, look past my present Past all our problems, let our love be ever-present Bother not with the pleasant, show me what I'll resent Your love I might love, but will I hate your effervescence? ________________________________________________ 7:13 pm IST, 28th Nov, 2015

Trembles and Thrills

TREMBLES and THRILLS Her heart shivers As it draws near The darkness loud The footsteps silent The shadow trembles Void of a body A presence is felt Wolves howl shrill Is it darkness they fear, Or that which is near? She races faster Than her heart beats The trees race with her feet Senses numb Shadows she feels The canopy thickens Her pace quickens A light appears At the end of a tunnel Far as she can see "That's not right; A tunnel in the trees?" She races back She races forth Heart pounding in her throat A light appears To her left, to her right She races past She paces fast Warnings flash in her mind Stumbles on a road Concrete as any Waves to the truck Approaching at speed; Deer in the headlights The road, red The truck, air The wolves, quiet The illusion, gone; The shadow, trembles. _____________________________________ 4:30 pm IST, 28th Nov, 2015

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... __________________________________________________ 5:57 pm IST, 28th Nov, 2015

Succeed

Succeed Eyes shifty from worry A gun awaits its release Step up to the line Get, Set and Go Don't fail Mind in order, hair askew Pens at the ready Make every second count You may now begin writing Don't fail A cigarette to the lips Six strings standing by Prepare your mind Step up to the mike Don't fail Braided tie, polished shoes Smart as your paper says Smile, nod, impress Can you start this Monday? Don't fail White altar, whiter flowers Fair lady on your arm Answer the questions You may now kiss the bride Don't fail A pigeon carries the message The chitter chatter, a mere murmur Hurry; hold; cry. Be brave Take care of your mother for me Don't fail A pretty girl in her prom dress Walking down the stairs Hold back those tears Dont wait up, Dad Don't fail Held prisoner, in a fortress Of a pillow-wielding prince Feel young again Come on, grandpa Don't fail Buzzing sounds; Heavy breathing Surroundings darken Smile. We're losing him Didn't fail ___________________________________ 30th Nov, 2015

Siesta In the Moonlight

I believe I learned how to count syllables today :'D Would be happy to know even if I didn't, so do critique! :) Siesta In The Moonlight And we crawl under The blanket of moonlit stars Silence our white noise Reading the books of our thoughts Satisfied; switch off our eyes _____________________________

Conflict

Conflict "You still talk to her?" Innocent question, I turn Back to the screen; One set of green eyes, after all Enough for the two of us _____________________________ 30th Nov, 2015
