LOVE IS BLIND

She was so young and beautiful, but she was blind

And for this, she hated all mankind

She hated almost every one,except one

A boy, who loved her & was very kind

Then one day, he finally

Asked her “Will you marry me ?”

She  thought for a moment

Then said “ I will, but, only, when I can see”

A donor was found, now the operation

was over, and soon, she could see

She seemed to love, the whole world now

But most of all, her own beauty

The boy asked her, “Now that you can see

Will you marry me?”

She was shocked, when she looked at him

She said “I would have to be mad, to agree”

He was silent, and hurt, he turned

To walk away, fighting back a tear

Then he stopped and whispered

“ Just take good care of my eyes dear ”

This poem was inspired by a short story I read

some time back. It shows how we  humans  

change, when ever there is a change in a situation, condition

or with time. We are basically selfish beings,

selfless love is very rare. But then, this is Life.

PROVOCATIVE # 4 ( BEHIND THE SCENE )

This is the full story ( my version ) behind the scene, the scene which was originally created by my dearest daughter in her blog post titled ‘ Provocative’( http://words-that-matter.blogspot.in/2012/02/provocative.html ) (Who also was inspired from the blog post  http://i-me-mysolitude.blogspot.in/2012/01/fire-and-ice-55fiction-1.htm)Which actually provoked me to tell the story behind the scene, I found it too tempting to let it go unsaid, so here’S the outcome. Hope you guys like it.

 

 

He watched her, walk away

In search of some one new

She had done this before

And she will do this again, he knew

He had fallen in love with her

The first time she had smiled

It was her smile that captured his heart

It brightened her face, like a child

Words weren’t needed to be spoken

He thought she understood his silence

Just her presence was enough

To brighten his days, ever since

Each time she came close to him

His heart would, skip a beat

When she was away, he thought about her

Wondering, when they’d meet ?

Though he was totally unaware

That he was living in a fool’s paradise

Soon all his dreams would be shattered

And he would have to pay the price

Now after the second peg, finally

He seemed to come to his senses

He didn’t know how he would survive this

He had to face the facts without any pretenses

He had now realized

That she was just a little tease

She would always lead one on

And she did this with such ease

He glanced and he saw her 

She looked, so beautiful and so cool

She was already busy, casting a spell

On some other new fool

 

He decided it was time to put an end

To this game she had started

Even though it meant walking away

Lonely, lost and broken hearted

He knew she would always

Remain embedded in his memory

Within the depths of his heart to stay

And he would never really, be free

He put down the glass on the bar counter

And slowly walked towards the door

He had made up his mind, that

He would never come here any more

This was the place where he had

First met & fallen in love with her

Since that day not a single evening 

Went without him visiting here

But now he wanted to banish, this place

From his world, for ever more

And forget that, this place, even existed, where

He met a girl, he thought he would always adore

Her smile so warm, yet her heart was, cold as ice

His  heart was aflame, with love burning inside

It’s sad, but love is always, left in shambles

When ever these two: Fire & Ice collide

REJUVENATING........ ( 55 fiction # 4 )

 

It was a still, dark summer night.

He sat alone on the terrace, waiting for her,

knowing she would be there any moment.

He needed her company, to revive his tired body

and soul. Suddenly he felt her, lovingly, ruffling  his hair,

her refreshing coolness surrounding him,   

Banishing the  beads of sweat from his brows

Rescue....... ( 55 fiction # 3 )

She was all grace, slender, fair, her face aglow,

But she was in pain, and tears started to flow

They just kept falling, so soft, so pure

Someone would rescue her from her suffering

Of this she was sure

So she waited for the cool breeze to blow

Till then the candle would patiently glow

WAITING FOR HER TURN ( To Be Free ? ) ..... 55 fiction # 2

 

 

 She lay there alone, in the dark enclosure, all the others were taken away, and none  returned. She caught a glimpse of the outside world, whenever one was taken out.

 Soon she was out in the open, she was struck, her face burnt for awhile…….

 then the matchstick’s life was over.

Yearning For Her Soft Touch

Even during the busy day at office, I kept thinking about her.

Every morning, leaving her was difficult, after sharing my dreams with her.

I returned late at night.  She looked inviting, lying on the bed,  patiently, waiting for me.

Dimming  the lights, I gently rested my head upon her…...

I love my soft pillow.

Well this is my first attempt at 55 word fiction. It was more difficult  than 
writing a poem in  my own familiar style., but I loved  doing this, & I hope you guys also enjoy it.
