I don't wish for a fairy tale....

-



Neither the red roses,
nor the candle light..
No popping of the bubbly
on a moonlit night..
I don't live on the rainbow,
the huge castle isn't mine,
long tresses are Rupenzel's,
without the genie i do just fine!
Not the sea shore bonfire,
limo is too huge for two..
Dont want a life queen size..
only love n comfort will do!
All of it is impressive but
am not looking for materiality..
I dont wish for a fairy tale..
just a beautiful reality..

      You know I always like simple poetry. I love Shakespeare but in his time even day to day language was that complex. Then we had Robert Frost, he was way too simpler (as compared to WS) as in his times, language was less complicating. And, now in our times, when language is simple, we need to convey thoughts in simple words.

      What you did here is remarkable. :)

      I try to be simple in my thoughts and the use of words! I, as a personal choice, don't like reading complicated stuff and big words! Its easier to relate if the words used are simple.And that is what i try to make my writing.Thanks a ton for your comment Saru!

      The best thing is that you were a major inspiration for me.I read the wonderful work you have done and decided to pursue poetry writing seriously!So,a compliment from you means a lot!

"Say you love me"

They slept close.Slowly, his hand slid inside her clothes.She didn't react, pretended to sleep.He touched her and it made her face him.She opened her mouth to ask but his lips stopped her.Withdrawing, he asked her, "say you love me", she could just nod.She does not remember what happened next except the excruciating pain enough to bring tears in her eyes. Next morning she asked him "I told you I love you then why did you hurt me bhaiya?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This post is an attempt to highlight the fact that child abuse is not something that happens in others houses only.It could be happening right under our noses, making us ignorant.It is not something to be ashamed of and swept under the carpet in the name of society.With a little awareness from our side, we can make sure that it doesn't hurt to be a child. ----------------------------------------------------------...

Little packets of hope...

Things are not going your way, Black is more evident in the gray, Not a smile on your face, Nothing gives you solace.. Everyone and everything appear distant, In favoring you, luck seems hesitant, You feel time is not on your side, and there is nothing you haven't tried. Just when you think it can't get worse, Something happens and life seems like a curse, You stop smiling and give it all up, Not half filled, its an empty cup. I am the same as you, Having felt this,in times old and new. But now when i look and ponder, It all makes perfect sense, i realize in wonder. The cup was always filled up to the half, I found no reason to not laugh, There are little joys around in every season, Always believe everything happens for a reason. Just when you think its difficult to cope, Look around, You will always find , Little packets of hope!
