Dream Song

Nov28

 

You listen to my ramblings

with wonder and respect

that no one has accorded me

Your cast down eyes

and faraway look

imply a strange proximity

You see beauty

in my plain countenance

and depth

in my shallow eyes

I marvel at my fortune

and remain obliged

to cupid for choosing me

out of the millions

Picture it and Write

Nov26

 

The fashion model jumped into the boat, her gleaming red hair flying with the wind. She leaned gracefully against the table with a sullen smile. Instructed by her photographer, Jas, she now lay down, her curls in the ground.  Jas was not satisfied with her expression. Their entourage moved to the studio where she posed elegantly. Brooding, Jas clicked away randomly.

He edited all his photographs, looking for something. She just did not have the natural smile or poise, he thought. She is not an actress, just a model. He suddenly stopped with a photo. “This is the perfect shot I wanted” he said aloud. She was sporting a natural smile, her red hair slightly ruffled in the wind, eyes animated, apparently chatting with someone. But what was she wearing? A faded jeans and a plain white shirt! She held something very tightly – the pay cheque. Jas smiled, deleted the photo and walked out of the office.

Picture it & write

Nov19

 

Spare a glance for my replica

It is meant only for you

to be held only by you

Her eyes sparkle with curiosity,

unlike my lifeless ones

She would swing to your whims,

while my hurting legs stay in place

Her black nails,

so like my own,

would subtly remind you

to hold me in your memories

long after I am gone

Friends, This is my entry to the Picture it & write category. Thanks to Yepirategunn for letting us know about this. Do participate in this challenge and have fun.

Gaze and Marvel

Nov16

What stronger feeling

could surpass

the momentary amazement

when you look

at the soft colors

in their dainty glory?

 

Would you perhaps

gaze, marvel

and feel gratified

that you belong to

the same world

that they do?

 

Watch a bee trying

to find a gap between

the two beauties and struggling

to decide on his best partner
